Wine vs Grape Juice

[Amanah]

Preachers have attempted to maintain a wall of separation from the world and as we become more liberal we also become more worldly. Jesus often withdrew to lonely places for times of prayer. We are pressed on every side with the worldly influence of television, internet and Facebook. Psychologists are telling people to unplug because being constantly connected to social media causes people to be unhappy. It's mostly fake news, and when we compare ourselves to others fake lives we become depressed.

Alcoholism destroys families and lives. We should separate from it for the sake of others, one persons liberty can be another person's destruction.

Maybe early civilizations incorporated wine in a much different manner then we do. In our civilization, if someone sees a us drinking wine it gives them a false sense of liberty to consume alcohol to their destruction.

We are not at the point where preachers are setting boundaries that are too constraining. We are at the point where worldliness is drowning out the voice of God. We are at the point where it's more important to receive a person's tithes, then preach against sin and worldliness and have a person walk.

We have bucked the old paths and bucked and bucked till some have become wearied with making a stand, but you will reap the results with your kids and grandkids because they will lose the message altogether. They will think nothing of having children out of wedlock, or having a drink at the local bar, or watching the worst perversions on media.

If you are so keen to tell the truth about alcohol please include statistics on ruined lives.
