Let's define terms. "Being gay" is not a sin. Acting homosexually is a sin. A prerequisite for sins to be forgiven is repentance. And this applies to the sin of acting homosexually. Repentant homosexuals can most certainly be saved. No one continuing to find joy in rebellion to God, in actively...

Huh? If you are wrong, is there a need to pressure those who are speaking the truth about the holy use of alcohol to shut up and let the lie have a better chance of being accepted as true?

Nonsense. Trying to change the definition. Also, the Bible only warns against over drinking because it had alcohol in it and why Jesus was accused of being a drunk - it was known he drank alcohol in the form of wine. Luke 7:34.

Words. Definitions. By definition, wine is an alcoholic drink. See post # 61.

Moving the goal posts ... From What are the benefits of drinking red wine? Red wine has been part of social, religious, and cultural events for centuries. In the past, people have theorizedTrusted Source that red wine benefits health, particularly alongside a balanced diet. In recent years...

Again, you are confusing God not prohibiting it with commanding it. Do what in memory of me? Drink wine.

You cannot acknowledge we live in a fallen world AND suppose we must live strictly to an ideal that we have no practical way of achieving in practice.

There you go again. Ever hear of the word "tacit?" Tacit approval is more than merely "suffering" it's practice. Divorce and multiple wives emerged in the crucible of experience. A system void of it does not work in extreme scenarios. Let's keep it real!

This is another example of eisegesis. Nothing in Scripture says anything like that; that God suffered the Israelites to have slaves. Slavery existed in the Judeo-Christian world using the Bible to justify the practice. If you read Genesis, specifically the rise of Joseph to power, you'll see it...

God is morally ambiguous? He did not merely approve but commanded drinking alchohol in Deuteronomy 14:26. Not sure what "winking" your eisegesis is referring to. No where is drinking alchohol identified in Scripture as a sin. No where. Getting drunk is condemned but not the mere consumption of...

I'm sure the media will cover this and demand the imposter president and his VP resign in disgrace until they do ...

Not in keeping with Col 3:12-17. So, only if one is against Zion can one know Christ, who is a Jew? PUL-EASE. Many Christians are pro-Israel. Obviously, neither of you have any argument so you must resort to personal attack. That's telling. Very telling.

Your denomination may make a substitution with grape juice. However, my question was about the ritual that Jesus initiated which ushered in the New Covenant; doesn't the sacrement of communion - as established by Jesus - contain alcohol (wine)? I found a compelling website on how modern...

Welcome to the CyB boards. What denomination of Christianity do you practice? How long have you been a Christ follower? Regarding drinking, doesn't communion contain alcohol (wine) as an element in the ritual?

Hmmm. Still trying to launch a holy war against those who salvation comes through! Civilization should support Zion is the point of the OP. Not Christians. See the difference?

This tired, old point hinges on the difference between works (plural) in the Biblical sense and work (singular) in the general sense of the word. Agreed. The fact that the "sufficiency of Christ" is insufficient for us to do our part proves we do have work to do; namely, humbly repenting...

So what?

No, I am not familiar with this. How is it relevant to the thread topic?

There is no contradiction or doubt that modern Zionism started in the 19th century as you say. But Zionism started 3,700 years ago by God when he commanded Joshua to conquor Canann. To use your semantic arguments, I'm kind of surprised you did not deny the land of Israel, the land of Palestine...

One fallacy after another. In this case, Tu quoque; because others lie about Jews, it is not possible for Jews to be truthful, a false moral equivelence. Consider this possibility: Jews are NOT terrorists AND real Jews. Are you familiar with the Islamic principle of lying when it suits them...
