OK, please... hop in yo time machine, and go back to the wedding feast Jesus Christ was at changing water in to "wine"... grab you a sample, and zip back to modern day times so this sample can be tested in a lab.
If your not drinking is a source of pride in your life
If you read the passage there is a clue:
10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
(John 2:10)
Usually the cheaper wine was brought out after everyone had had too much to drink and were too tipsy to notice the difference. But the wine Jesus made supernaturally was the best.
Yeah, the devil will say anything... to get ya to drink some booze!
After all, it's so fashionable these days among seeker sensitive,
extreme-grace, osas Christians, right?
The spirit of pride will go to great lengths too, to keep you holding on to your own sense of accomplishment and achievement in staying "dry".
You don't have to go around bragging about how long it has been since you've had your last drink. But if it's something you keep in your heart, if it's something that fuels your confidence in your own ability to have a relationship with God, then it is trusting works rather than the grace of God.
Repent!
Repent for not committing sin???
That's satan's idea of repenting... away from light, turning to darkness
pride...But pride is a sin. Some might even say that it is the original sin that got Lucifer cast out of heaven!
Why are you trying to tell me that pride is not a sin?
For those who do not agree that Christians should consume alcoholic beverages:
Do you use cough syrup? Or any other product that contans alcohol? If so how do you decide which is acceptable and not, because if you didn't know most if not all OTC cough syrups contain alcohol?
Noooooo Heineken is from Holland!!!I did have my first beer at a company party several years ago. I realized that "I've never had a beer" was lingering as a source of spiritual pride, so when they served Heinekens I thought it might be worth trying a nice German beer. Turns out they are made in Belgium or something (when I read the label.) <disappointed>
Not over the ditch at all. Many health advocates state that avoiding grilled meats is a must due to carcinogens produced by the grilling process. Burning wood gives of dioxins, another known carcinogen.
Yet, how did they cook their food in the past? How did they prepare the meat that was sacrificed? They drank wine which contains alcohol.
If He did turn it in to alcoholic wine... then He was providing everyone with plenty of opportunity to get drunk.
Did you know the Bible teaches that to get drunk / intoxicated is a sin?
It's actually listed in the New Testament as one of the sins that will cause those that do this to not go to Heaven!
Why would a healed man need cough syrup, or any other man-made medicine???Jesus took coughing upon Himself so we would not have to sit around coughing and could be healed and free from that infirmity.
If it's something that comes from nature that God put here, no problem as God provided all the nourishment we need naturally. At least this doesn't damage the body, but provides nourishment.
But, anything containing alcohol should not be put in to the Temple of the Holy Ghost (our body) as it is a known carcinogen (cancer causing agent) which is harmful to the body.
We should not knowingly and willingly put harmful substances in to our bodies... that is IF we obey scripture and present our body as a livinf sacrifice unto the Lord.
Glad this is all cleared up...
I do cook out occasionally... using organic brickettes.
And, no in Bible times they did not drink alcoholic wine as we see today. They had either freshly produced grape juice which they called wine, or they made a paste to keep the fruit of the vine long term that they would put just a small amount in to water and make grape juice which they called wine.
They still do this throughout the middle east today as it has been done for thousands of years. Jesus did not make alcoholic wine so folks could get drunk... because if He did, the He was responsible for enabling others to commit sin, which would be a sin.
