Subject: word for wine in the original text? |
Bible Note: Joe-- "Does this "red flag" go up every time you see one of the apostles using the word "but" in Scripture, too? Please be sensible!" No, actually it has the opposite meaning in scripture, more positive meaning such as; Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are [these]; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Gal 5:20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Gal 5:21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told [you] in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Paul gives his message using, (BUT) a better way of living; Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,. "It is not the alcohol that is the "demon," though." This is true, the the problem is not the alcohol, alcohol is a solution to an addicts problem, the wrong solution. This thread is only directed to the drinking or use of wine in the form of alcohol. The use of the word (But) would require another thread :) God bless |
