Subject: making wine.Did Jesus make a mistake. |
Bible Note: John No so, alcohol is classified a poison and it does in fact kill brain cells on contact. Since the blood does carry alcohol throughout the body even one drink will drink will be sufficient to kill some cells. Pregnant women are urged not to intake any alcohol in any form during their pregnancy. If a woman may have ingested alcohol in the early stages of her pregnancy without realizing her condition her doctors are allowed to prescribe ADDITIONAL tests throughout the pregnancy and the medical insurance will pay. That in itself tell how dangerous it is to an unborn baby. Insurance companies don’t readily pay for unneeded procedures. Alcohol is an acquired taste, and the contractions your swallowing muscles go through in dealing with high proof alcohol is from the fact the body considers alcohol a non desirable foreign substance. Most animals if allowed to drink enough alcohol to get drunk will avoid all forms of alcohol in the future. To compare alcohol intake to other things like sex is nonsense. Alcohol brings nothing to the table while sex is designed for procreation. Alcohol does not enhance favor or taste. I’m sure I can let you sample wine both alcoholic and non, and you would not be able to tell them apart and would probably show a taste preference for the non alcoholic wine. Since alcohol is basically tasteless and adds nothing of value to the favor, the desire to drink it must stem from a desire to experience the effects of alcohol.. If you can show me how any of the effects of alcohol enhances any of the traits the Bible says is desirable in our lives I will say we all should be drinkers However since alcohol in fact impairs most every trait the bible says we should cultivate in our lives, and since it serves no useful purpose it is actually detracting from our experience with God. Is that sin? You tell me. EdB |
