Continue to prove all you want to do is argue.
I ALREADY SAID I DO NOT DRINK, BUT MAYBE A FEW TIMES A YEAR AND THEN JUST A BOTTLE..
Do you even know everytime you make a false accusation against someone, YOU PROVE YOU ARE NOT LISTENING??
Your hard hearted. Continue to spew hate and falsities about people. The whole world just sees the truth in your heart.

I agree and good for you and 29 years....It comes down to what you posted to concerning....
It comes down to the following..
1. Does it cause a weaker brother/sister to stumble or be offended Corinthians
2. Not to be drunk in excess Ephesians
3. Not to be (given) to it as in addicted or have to have it 1st Timothy
4. Being mature about it
Appreciate the response bro!

You're adding words to the scripture. He never said it was grape juice. Nothing anywhere in the scripture says it was grape juice. A simple word study shows that it was not a mistaken translation. Archeologists have found vessels from the first century that are clearly labelled "inferior wine." Wine was drunk freely, and Messiah drank wine. He says he will not drink again until he returns. You cannot change the words that are there to suit your own beliefs. You don't have to drink, but you are adding to the scripture with your own opinions.
Yes, Paul's word is inferior, and Paul was inferior in every possible way when held up to the ruler that is Messiah. Everyone else in scripture was inferior to Messiah. I am going to listen to Messiah first every single time because every single human is inferior to the son of the Most High, the King at whose throne I wil bow and whose feet I would love to wash with my hair. As I said, follow whoever you want. I will be following the one Paul followed. That means that EVERY WORD out of his mouth is the most important thing I can learn, and anyone who says anything contrary to that word is wrong. Paul had a lot of great advice, but I don't worship Paul.
