Bud is right, but I do have one more small question for Mr. "Street Preacher," and then I stop. Based on the passages in Deu & Mark I offered, and your Proverb, does God contradict himself or is this an issue of moderation? I choose the latter. Food and drink do not defile a man, glory be to God Most High.
John of UK, you are correct about Oliver. He has correctly read the Scriptures. He is a Berean on this issue. The Jewish leadership wasn't foolish enough to confuse wine with Welchs grape juice. Brian Schwertly did a good sermon on this topic.
I became amazed and filled with terror when I saw the underlying assumption under Romans 9:20. The only moral law that is, is the one flowing out of God. There is no free standing law against which the LORD can be compared. The only law there is, is His unchanging character. The human worth and our affairs are only derivative of the Most High. We are His image and not He ours. We have no intrinsic value. We not like gold but more like derivative contracts, whereby God is the underlying value.
Israel had a visible and invisible Church-state. Was God's performance sub-par back then? Seed of Satan and seed of the Woman in one nation. But really, how can I legitimately and righteousness judge the Most High God?
