Doubling down on your manipulation, aka Appeal to Emotion. Just because I am quick to recognize manipulation for what it is, does not make manipulation a valid means of argumentation.

I was wondering what happened to the Tinman.

LOL. Another Appeal to Strawman. Nowhere was it claimed that drinking wine is a salvation issue. However, do this (drink wine) in rememberance of me is Jesus command. If you feel it wise to disregard Jesus' command regarding the establishent of the New Covenant and the sacrament of communion...

Another take on this. The symbol for medication is 2 snakes on a cross to alert us of the danger that in the right amount, the drug helps but in the wrong amount, it is poisonous as you say. This analysis is universal and does not apply only to alcohol. To your implied claim that no amount is...

How I feel is irrelevant. The purpose of such questions as below is relevant, which is to pressure the one who is protesting "so much." I find the implied rationalization of the question revealing. Apparently, if one is in the right, there is not a need to protest a wrong much - even while the...

Jesus drank wine, which by definition, has alcohol in it. Calling it poison does not change the fact.

My wife and I are both in our second marriage. Our first spouses are still alive. Are we adulterers?

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...
