Trump hasn't gotten us into a big war under false pretenses while the left gets judges to create same-sex marriage. Both Bushes got us into avoidable wars with Iraq. Both Bushes pushed this country to the left. Trump has done neither of these great evils.

The two Bushes managed to be two of the worst presidents in American history. I'd take Trump over either of them, any day.

"Pentecostal & Assemblies of God" forum. I could guess that by reading the post.

I don't agree that drunkenness is a sin. Biblical warnings against being drunk aren't about being drunk itself, but the immorality that normally accompanies drunkenness. E.g. Ep 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. It's not being drunk...

Matthew 24:3-28 is presented as natural and literal events. V. 29 is impossible to take literally. It's instantly obvious that v. 29 is a figure of speech. And, the Old Testament's use of that same figure of speech reveals to us the meaning. You objections to my theology carry no weight. My...

In indisputable fact, an abomination caused desolation in 70 AD. This desolation matched very nicely Jesus' and Daniel's prophesies. It's interesting how Futurists try to recreate first-century events. Another Israel. Another Temple of God. Another desolation. Another great tribulation...

When I talk with most Christians, I always have a nagging feeling that they've never read the Bible. Really, in the "end times", supposedly any moment now, we're going to be beaten in the synagogues? Yea, when you consider that 19 is twice 50 but not less than that, add 344 days... see, it...

Where are you posts against eating leavened bread? And, no, the Bible doesn't say yeast is a sin. Given all the flaming nonsense you've posted, your beliefs don't matter. You have no credibility, so appealing to your credibility, "I believe", is meaningless.

Lies, lies, lies. Welch was trying to sell grape juice to churches to use as wine. Welch's sales gimmick to proto-prohibitionists during the temperance movement doesn't make wine in the Bible grape juice. Lies, lies, lies. You can't remove alcohol with a strainer. Let's see the original...

Alcohol has never been thought good for the brain. In spite of that, moderate drinking has been linked to better health and longevity. It seems that it's very easy to protect the brain from alcohol damage. This mitigating factor would have applied to the people of Jerusalem in Bible times...

Lies, lies, lies. In biblical times they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of boiling down grape juice and reconstituting it. That's stupid. It's a lot of work. The result is nasty tasting. The shelf-life would still be short. And, it's unnecessary when alcohol preserves grape juice...

Moderate use of alcohol, even with occasional drunkenness, is a healthier lifestyle than abstinence, all other things being equal.

All the Jews who reject Christ spiritually share the guilt of murder of our Lord, and they will receive eternal punishment if there's no repentance. Pilate took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, “I am innocent of this man's blood; see to it yourselves.” And all the people...

Saying Pilate went along with it is like saying the Jews went along with the Holocaust. You should the account, sometime. The Bible only blames Jews, and blames Jews over and over. You should read it, sometime. Besides, why would Peter let the Romans off the hook just because his audience...

I don't know what biblical principle would make the mere act of getting drunk a sin. Technically, a drunkard is someone who lives a lifestyle of drunkenness. Even then, I don't see frequent drunkenness as as a sin per se, but what results from that lifestyle. Drunkards will not inherit the...

Ancient wine makers wouldn't want to use wild yeast, either, for the same reason. Professional ancient wine makers wouldn't have used wild yeast. Then there's your knowledge of ancient wine making....

Your premise is drinking is a sin. Jesus is without sin, you reason therefor Jesus didn't drink. The Bible says Jesus drank, and you seek to deny that fact and explain it away. But, drinking isn't a sin. Jesus drank, confirming drinking isn't a sin. There's no need to explain away biblical...

Lots of college kids engage is some pretty tasteless activities that they think of as practical jokes.

"Wine" if ever used for something non-alcoholic is being used loosely or figuratively. The dictionary doesn't keep itself to literal definitions. A non-alcoholic beverage is not literally wine. But, it doesn't make any difference. The context of the Greek word shows it means alcohol...
