... If you take this comment to be pejorative, it is not meant so. It is more that of an elder or teacher as a cautionary observation, not as condemning criticism.

No, I actually find it entertaining. After having spent three years at Elim Bible Institute, learning from some pretty smart, well seasoned exegetes, I can only laugh at your own interpretations. I use Greek, Hebrew, and Latin texts to EXEGETE. Your post follows a legalistic point of view, which claims that I have my own personal interpretation here. You won't accept any analysis if it does not come from your church, your sect, or your own personal thought processes. That is why we argue apologetics in the face of churchy opinions. I can spend hours discussing this, but it will not change you, nor me.

... That is a wholly unsubstantiated assumption you have no right to make if you want to debate the meaning of Scripture with me. ...

I won't bother to debate the meaning, when you show that you didn't read the Word of God. But, for your EXEGESIS, I will post it again. I don't need a personal interpretation, when I am in agreement with those Words. I also live within the New Covenant!

John 2: “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”- NIV ( or from the Anglicized New Revised Standard Version... "and said to him, ‘Everyone serves the good wine first, and then the inferior wine after the guests have become drunk...’")

Seems pretty clear to me that when people have HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, they must be drunk or well on the way! I seem to see my thoughts in print, in those versions.

As for Noah getting drunk, I think God knew Noah better than I. He used that man for His eternal purposes. I also think my omniscient, all-powerful God knew Noah's nature, and knew that the man liked a draft of good wine, just like me... but you will never see me in a drunken state! YMMV!

Have a nice day! (1 Corinthians 10:31ff)
