What a shock: I was right.

The Greek word in question is 'methusthosin' which means 'they might
be drunk.' That is: 'Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the
inferior wine after the guests [b]they might be drunk
.'
(the appostive object 'they' is removed in translation because, in English
it doesn't make sense.)

In other words ...[text shortened]... meal
necessarily entailed wine (as per the Last Supper discourses in the Synoptics).

I find it shocking indeed that folks that have taken the time to read the Bible, and who have labored in pursuit of all that is good, honorable, just, pure, and lovely (Philippians 4:8)--and for this point that means pursuit of self-improvement through education and knowledge--could be correct about anything, especially something as important as sacred scripture.

If by 'truth' you mean you repeatedly lie to yourself and others,
then, yes, you have that.

Jesus drank wine. Get over your absurd inhibitions.

When he was on the Cross, yes he did.

And so what maybe I made I mistake but I don't lie on purpose and by all means everyone is a lier till they come to know Jesus in a personnal way.

Accepted Jesus and you will be set free.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Boys keep swinging by David Bowie

Heaven loves ya
The clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can wear a uniform
When you're a boy
Other boys check you out
You get a girl
These are your favourite things
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colours
Unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

When you're a boy
You can buy a home of your own
When you're a boy
Learn to drive and everything
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

RB, I have no doubt that your sexism and racism are not of God. You are an ambassador for Satan, not for Christ. Repent.

I know, that I have been messing up. I am doing it to prove a point of my first point in thsi thread but I see that you don't understand it.

I understand your first point perfectly well, and I did not criticize your initial post.

I have attacked as a rabid dog your mechanical and rhetorical failings--most of which stem from laziness. In addition, on more than one occasion, I have taken issue with statements of yours that reveal a racist and sexist attitude. Your recent statement to Nemesio is a case in point.

If you follow Christ, you will repent of these sinful attitudes.

People who follow Christ do not continue to express racism and sexism after they've been rebuked. You do, however.

I don't understand how you can reasonably think that you have accepted
Jesus when your comprehension of Him and His ministry is so radically flawed.

Jesus drank wine on the Cross, at the Last Supper, and probably hundreds
of times before that. Drinking wine -- or any alcohol -- is not a sin, no matter
how badly YOU want it to be. Jesus understood the dangers that alcohol poses
and avoided them, as per tradition, in His perfect way.

But, because YOU, evidently, harbor these illogical fears of alcohol -- maybe
because of YOUR inability to deal with it in a healthy way -- you want Jesus
to be your vindication for abstinence.

Accepting Jesus means HE tells you what to do and how to be. What you are
doing is telling HIM what is right and wrong.

And that is just a perversion by any Christian standards.

Your continued bigottry towards the Roman Catholic Church, and more recently
towards women, is despicible in the eyes of all that is good and holy. The fact
that you cannot admit of your error and sin is a further sign that you are wholly
uninterested in being a Christian, just being accepted by a group of fanactics.
