Since God's Word tells me to abstain, if I drink one sip, I have denied God and chosen that which He has forbidden. Like Adam, if I partake of that which God has showed me is taboo, I will have rebelled against Him.

There is nothing wrong with teaching abstinence.

But to teach it to all in the manner that we can not even drink one glass of wine a day is wrong.

You probably still believe we are restrained from eating certain foods to that the OT talked about.

It was grape juice. God would not drink anything that is decayed or processed by bacteria meaning their poop. Alcohol is yeast poop. But, the fruit of the vine is pure grape juice packed with vitamins and nutrients.

Melchizedek is Jesus, Abraham fell down and worshiped Him, this is not a man, Then gave Him 10% of everything He had. The name means Prince of peace and that is Jesus is Jehovah Shalom My Prince of Peace and provides the peace that surpasses all understanding.

Actually, Melchizedek was not Jesus. Hebrews 7 reveals that Melchizedek was "made like unto the Son of God." He was like Jesus, but he was not Jesus. Also, the Bible does not say Abram "fell down and worshiped him".

Look closer. The Hebrew word yayin is translated to wine in Ps. 104:15. Yayin comes from the root yayan, which means to ferment. That means, to anybody with a brain bigger than a pea, the wine is alcoholic.

I've studied the verse thoroughly, comparing it with other Scripture concerning wine. God doesn't give man the same drink that he tells man to not even look at when it is fermented.
 
What good comes from drinking intoxicating drinks? a good night sleep, So you depend on a drug to sleep. What other good can come from it?

Sorry but that is wrong, oy'-nos is fermented.

And along with oy'-nos here are the other words used for wine in the NT and their meanings.

oy'-nos: wine, from yah-yin: meaning to effervesce (or fermented). (Used most places throughout the New Testament.)
glyoo'-kos: (or glucose or a liquid fruit sugar), or a syrupy sweet fruit juice. (Used only one time.)
par'-oy-nos: (From two words: 1. Para: near and 2. G3631 wine), meaning addicted to wine. (Used only twice.)
oy-of-loog-ee'-ah: (From two words: 1. G3631 wine and 2. Floo'or-os: bubbly or to talk incessantly), meaning drunkenness or drunk on wine. (Used only once.)

As previously stated grape juice was not separated from term wine until prohibition in the U.S. of A.

Ask them about the health qualities of a glass of fermented wine a day to. You to will be surprised.

fermented wine does have good qualities. I don't deny that. But it is also toxic. Why even defend a drink that has the power to deceive you into drinking until you are drunk when you can have a drink that is healthy to the heart without the toxins that fermented wine has?

Almost all foods are toxic. Our organs filter out the toxicities. Grape juice may be healthy but wine is happy. Healthy and Happy must be balanced to lead a full and enjoyable life.

It was wine that contained alcohol. The Hebrew word yayin, as I said, comes from a root that means fermented.

So Jesus (Melchizedek according to you) provided wine (not grape juice) for Abraham.

I guess we have a precedent for Jesus providing wine (not grape juice). The wedding at Cana may not not have been the first time.

Okay lets look at Socrates, the wine that he describes is 23 parts water. Then his pupil Homer describes wine as 13 parts water. With homers description one would have to drink 15 glasses of wine to equal one vodka martini. the info is web available, so have another.

Grape juice became wine, like real quick, until Dr. Welch figured out how to stop that from happening.

Back in the days of the Bible, grape juice turned into wine, like real quick.

Yeah, back in the days of the Bible, if you picked a cluster of grapes and immediately squeezed the juice into your mouth, I guess you drank grape juice.

But you better have drunk it like real quick, otherwise you are going to have some alcoholic wine due to fermentation.
