Other religious leader like Dr. James White, the director of Alpha and Omega Ministries, a prominent militant anti-KJV guru, thinks otherwise. In fact many Chrislams agree with Dr. James White view of Islam.

In my opinion, religious leaders that attack Christian leaders who oppose and expose the deadly religion of Islam are dangerous leaders .

God almighty is not endorsing OR APPROVING drinking wine, He never say in this context drink WINE or STRONG DRINK but said EAT

Ecclesiastes 11:9(KJV)
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the WAYS of THINE HEART, and in the SIGHT of THINE EYES: but know thou that for all these things God will BRING THEE INTO JUDGMENT.

Examine these:
Is a mockingChristian good?
Is a ragingChristian good?
Is a deceiverChristian good?

Wine is not only a mocker, it is also a deceiver.

A deceiver is a liar; Satan is the father of lies.

Oh, yes, Georgia, “red” Wine does invites you… temps you with moderate consumption, but at the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. Proverbs 23:31-32

“Adders have the most highly developed venom injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive”…
Just so with Red wine’s temptation of moderate drinking it is sooooo suave and not aggressive.

PROVERBS 20:1
Wine is a Mocker

So, if you want to mock God drink wine

James is a reminder for those people who professes faith in the Gospel but continues on living in sin remains a drunkard, idol worshipers, liars, theft, followers of priests, papa, and...never had been a new creature in Christ because what they have are false professions of faith in Christ.
