Yeah... Jesus turned water into wine. The baptists turn wine into grape juice. <-— not my original material, but I forgot where I heard it.
When going fishing, it is wise to invite two baptists with you. Why? Because if you invite one baptist, he will drink all your beer. If you invite two baptists, then you get all the beer to yourself.
Emphasis on drunk and excess. St Paul did not condemn wine as a sin but only its misuse. However if one has had a problem with alcohol and an addictive bent then don't drink at all if it leads one astray.
So why the talk about “new wine”?
Which He did at the request of His mother because there WASN'T ENOUGH WINE to last through the wedding feast!
I am not a teetoller in life, but I understand my church is. The first ammendment is great as it give freedom of religion and association. The Methodist can always have DD over for a show.
Yeah, I’ve never understood the teetotaling Christian. I follow the Lord Jesus, and he drank a little wine. I see no problem, as long as there is no drunkenness.
Well teetotaling is all about presenting oneself holy unto... Fellow Christians.
Baptists are great on abortion and marriage, we just suck at parties.
Their reasoning may be flawed, but they are certainly within their rights to do this. So, “Shrug.”
It is the political heritage of Oliver Cromwell
No...it’s
“Why don’t baptists have sex standing up?”
Because it might lead to dancing.
;D
What about those christians who smoke cigarettes? Sure its a bad, unhealthy habit but are we to reject them because of it? Good thing the Almighty doesn’t reject us for being imperfect or we would all be hades bound.
I know Christians who insist Jesus never drank wine, only grape juice, and are fanatical on this point.

I really like what the Robertsons have done with their series and have no problem with them having a line of wines. I also have no problem with these people!!
“Everyone serves good wine first, and then when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good wine until now.”
“Everyone serves good unfermented fruit juice first, and when people have drunk freely, an inferior one; but you have kept the good unfermented fruit juice until now.”
I don’t know, seems only one of these makes sense, at least to me.
I do kinda respect them for be such sticklers, it is fairly rare nowadays.
Freegards
Well DD is not selling cigarettes, probably have Michelle after them then.
Baptists are taught not to drink. Catholic preists are told not to marry. Church of Christ doesn’t have a piano. Churches are different and with Duck Dynasty star power they could easily go to another denomination down the street.
You might well enjoy it.
It's great to have some more folks in "pop culture" not afraid to talk about their religious faith.
Wine is health food.
