    Be not be drunk with wine... wine thread.

    Ok. I did some weird mod stuff to split off this discussion and make this post in the first block... this discussion is split off of the The Way of the Master - Witnessing by the book? thread.


    No reasonable follower of Christ can possibly miss the clear instruction to be not drunk with wine.

    This thread is not advocating drunken behavoir.

    However, there is a belief among many believers that wine is evil.

    I do not see this in scripture. Actually, if not for love of my brothers I might propose that wine should be used for communion. I DO believe this is more accurate, but would not do it for fear that my 'weaker brother' might stumble.

    I have wanted to start this thread for some time now, and will begin with a quote from UM...

    Please set 'feelings' aside and let's discuss this... ok?

    Please pray for the 'Persecuted Church'.
