GG,That is quite a bit of eisegesis. 1 Kings 2:19-20 doesn't make any mention of a future Mary, nor is there any hint in scripture to give warrant that this woman is a type of Mary. Rev 12:2 also says nothing of a mediating Mary. Luke 1:28? This also says nothing of Mary's mediatorship. Does this also mean that Stephen is a mediator since he is said to be full of grace in Acts 6:8? Are we our own mediators since we are righteous as well? We share in the righteousness of Christ don't we? Matt. 16:19? Not sure what you proof is here. This is about church discipline. Nothing in scripture gives anyone the warrant to claim that the saints are pleading on our behalf. I think that when scripture says that there is only one mediator, that that "precludes" anyone, including Mary, from acting as a mediator to Christ. You wouldn't say that about the roads to Christ. There is only one way to God and that is through Christ, you wouldn't say that this doesn't preclude anyone, especially Buddha, from acting as the way to God? Indeed, who gives God counsel? |

In regards to John 2, you still have a problem on your hands with Him changing water into Wine. If it were wrong, He led them into sin, making Him even more guilty. I don't think you would be willing to say that. I won't argue with you there whether He drank or not(I believe He did), but there are other accounts where we know He drank wine. For Hab 2, if you knew that, why bring it up, when it has nothing to do with drinking at all. For Lev. 10, you're right it does say when, but my point still stands. You make it stronger even by using "when". So then it's "only when" they go in the tent that they are not to drink wine and strong drink. Why would God even say that, if they didn't drink it any other time? That shouldn't had even been an issue. Lev. 10:8-11 "Drink no wine or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the tent of meeting, lest you die. It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations." Where's your arguemnt? Where is this destruction? I only ask that you show me from scripture how it's wrong to drink alcohol. I've given you the common courtesy as to show my convictions by scripture. Surely you have the evidence to back your claims because of your strong conviction? |

. It still wouldn’t matter because we know He changed the water into the wine so that they could drink it. It was a miracle, but it was also something that God had done in the OT. He gave them wine as a covenant blessing (e.g. Gen. 27:28; Deut. 7:13; 11:14; 33:28) . Christ was blessing the wedding, with the best wine, not grape juice. And it’s actually funny that you would call me a wino, because that is what they called Jesus in Matt 11:19. Cause even your own KJV, written in perfect English, uses the word “winebibber”, or as you prefer to use, “wino”. Apparently, they, like you, didn’t appreciate that Christ drank wine. Hab 2:15? No, he was not guilty of this. Considering Jesus was not the Babylonian King who involved other kings in his own evil affairs. Not only did this king get other neighboring kings involved in his greed for domination, but he got them involved so that they could help him, and once they helped, he would dominate them, leaving them naked and helpless. This is a prophecy concerning the Babylonian king, not a mandate against drinking alcohol. |

Bro. WilliamsYou’re right, it does say drink and not drunken. I’m not sure if you were actually reading my post to build or to critique it ahead of time. I’m going with the latter considering I never said that Romans said “drunken”. I only said that, like the other passages, it didn’t condemn drinking. I don’t think this is a debate, because if it were, you would have responded back with scripture and/or context to show how I was wrong. But instead you try to insult me and close your ears to hearing truth by saying that you don’t care what the “greek” says. I don’t know you, but if I were to judge your character based off of this one incident, it would show that your willingness to study God’s Word would be less than commendable. It really shows that you don’t care what the word of God says, even when it shows you where you err, you’ll still hold to whatever it is that makes you feel better at the end of the day. You say you have the perfect English Bible? Are all other translations written in other languages less than your KJV? Which KJV do you have? The original, or the revised? The account in John 2 doesn’t say that Christ actually drank the wine. And if you want to argue that He didn’t, then I won’t argue with you there, but I think that would be a weak argument. |
