Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
I will just say this. Maybe most of you all better not come to my house. Many of you would be offended. I grew up in a non-drinking family. I have a brother who was killed because he and my cousin were out drinking and got in a car accident. Have another brother who is an alcoholic and will not touch the stuff now because he does not want to revert back to those days. ME? well I decided that I control what I do. I found nothing in the Bible against it and I spoke with many ministers on the subject and all of them said that the 'rule' is made because most can not control it. I decided that I would control it and I do. I use it in cooking, I drink a glass for pleasure, and I drink it with friends. Never get drunk that is not allowed. I do not drink and drive either.
So if you do not want to be offended at what you will see at my house better not come by. Now if you want to come enjoy a shot, snort, or glass with me feel free I got plenty to choose from.
Condemn me for for it if you must but remember that Jesus turned water to wine and it was really good stuff. He also drank it. I think he may have even drank enough to feel a little buzz from time to time but I do not think he ever let himself get drunk. So if you condemn me then you are also condemn Him.
If you can not control it then by all means do not drink it but for goodness sake do not get on your high horse and condemn others for enjoying it.
Same goes for gold, silver, jewels. etc.... God gave them to us to enjoy. If I can afford them I will buy them. If you can't then by all means do not go into debt for them.
