Water was filled with diseases and germs back then
Psalm 104:15And wine which makes man’s heart glad, So that he may make his face glisten with oil, And food which sustains man’s heart.
It is true that there was bad water back “then”; though they had no concept of germ theory, folks could make the connections between bad water sources and disease. Yet Psalms 104 indicate that God had allowed wine to provide some solace for the troubles men go thru. He hated drunkenness and other places in scripture indicate that! Paul told Timothy to drink no more water but wine for the cure of the “infirmities of the stomach”.
Hence my position on alcohol!
I’ve reported my postings as being unkind to you to the moderators. A couple I think have been removed. I’ve made no complaints about yours. I think they should stay posted as you have written them!

Yes Sir!
We were both acting like little boys...

Pardon me, but who are you? Have we spoken before?
All legalization schemes outlaw use by minors, sometimes by those under 21. Recalling my schooldays during weed prohibition, I could have bought weed in any class in junior high or high school.
These threads have become the new Sungirl vs. the cat haters, Inspector Harry Callahan vs. sinkspur, and A+Bert vs. everybody form of entertaiment that I miss about FR. Thanks!
I meant Gargantua and myself...not you. I beg your pardon!
remember that Jesus wrote ALL of the Bible
not just the parts you pick out

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

like I said, you don’t know anything about me or what I know.
I doff mine in your general direction as well, kind sir. And a wonderful evening to you.
