You might be worried about a pastor seeing you, but your church circles aren't the problem. It is the unchurched who might walk away with the wrong idea.

Again as with the tithing, this issue needs to be taught from a point of truth not slanted to what we want it to say.
Biblical wine was NOT simply grape juice.
Ive done a great deal of research on fermentation and there is enough yeast on the grape skins to start the conversions from sugar to alcohol which stops around 14% alcohol by volume.
The only way they were drinking it non alcoholic was if it was right off the vine because without the process of pasteurization that yeast is gonna do its thing.
I do NOT drink anymore but it was allowed in scripture and even hints that things like mead were allowed when it says they can sell the tithe for money and buy whatever they desired even STRONG DRINK.
It not about making things permissible...its about honesty...last time I checked, lying would send you to hell.*not accusing you of lying*
