As mostly a lurker in the matter below, I have to say that what Mike said below is true. This is how the events have evolved and his assessment of Dorothy's...
It would be nice if people would deal with the context of wine. Nowhere does the Bible affirm wine as evil, but quite the contrary. Jesus saved the best grape...
But Dave, I may be mistaken...didn't you say Luther was the first to translate the Bible into the language of the common man? Not claiming to be up on the...
Again, Dave, as an observer, Dorothy is clearly legalistic and quite frankly mean, in my perception. She refuses to receive a rebuke about the matter. It's...
Dorothy, Paul was blameless concerning the law, and he called that blamelessness dung. I'd rather know a Christian who says a cuss word now and then and yet...
Thank you, Mike. Amen. At last, a biblical man on this list! Why does legalism and gossip seem to abound on this list? I am about to retreat. I really thought...
Go back and look at the post. You seem to have been so busy wanting to give your view that you didn't even see (or acknowledge my questions...or Mike's) the...
Actually, Roderick and Charles, the Christians I know who cuss or cuss at people...it is no different for them than hitting their thumb with a hammer. But are...

This will be my last post here, at least for a while. It seems we as Christians have become the very people to whom Is 5:20-21 was written: Woe to those who...
Thank you Lloyd, for your quite lengthy and studied ( if not laborious ) answer to my question. I think though, maybe a better way of tackling this issue...
Charles, My purpose was not to address the "alcohol issue," it was simply to clear up a common misunderstanding of that parable and nothing more. I have no...

Hi Lloyd & Charles, Thank you both for confirming that you understood me and didn't feel the need to accuse me of appearing to be vitriolic, mean, legalistic...
That is probably wisest, Roderick. In all seriousness, even though you are leaving disgruntled, it will give you an opportunity to rethink your position and...
Hi Jeremy, Dorothy said: "I happen to care about those who may be offended, enough so, to speak up. I guess I could certainly be accused of trying to interfere...

I have been following this discussion and wanted to make a comment. Why does it matter? If the drinker is "sinning", as a Christian, it is not counted against...

Dave, Thanks for bringing that forward. You beat me to it. :) I am so thankful for you and the patience you have always shown. I thank God that he saw fit...
Of course this starts out as an apparently "humble" statement where he includes himself "we as Christians" but then cowardly leaves with but yet another ...

Thanks Dave, but the point was that "leaven" is not necessarily a symbol of "evil", and therefore something for Christians to shun. Sounds a bit legalistic to...
