Again, the greek word for BOTH the fermented and unfermented is the same word.....”oinos”
So we have to take all of scripture into account to see which one applies for a given circumstances. In this case, they woud have thought it was the fermented. Yes, thinking they were drunk when they were merely filled with the Holy Spirit.
Throughout scripture the Bible warns us against strong drink. Wine is a mocker, don’t even gaze at it. That’s in proverbs, Noah drank wine and look what happened. Herod drank and beheaded John.
Even Revelation equates “wine” with a negative.....”drunk with the wine of her fornication.”
The Bible says Satan is tempting us like a lion he roams looking who he can devour. Drink any alchohol, and your inihibitions are lowered.
Isn’t temptation strong enough without making them easier?
One Seventh day Adventist Elder when I asked him if Jesus made wine, the fermented wine , at the wedding in Cana......he looked at me and smiled and said......”Of course not....he wasn’t interested in making gallons and gallons of alcohol, enough for everyone at the party to get drunk on.......what he made was BETTER THAN WINE.
Finally, Paul admonishes us to be SOBER MINDED for YOUR adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking who he can devour.
Why in the world would a Christian saved by grace, his body being the temple of God, ever let a drop of alcohol into the body God purchased on the cross with his blood.
The Holy Spirit resides in me.....Christ in me.....not alcohol. That is of the devil.
1 Peter 5:8: “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour”.
You say all this and then gobble up the unclean doctrines of demons swine teaching that today is His 1st day..
Not because you are filled with Christ, but because you are deceived by Satan and the Beast of Daniel and the Antichrist Papacy..
So, what’s worse?
A little wine or following the Beast in the end times even blindly in your Saturn Day Advocates religion?
