I can't drink beer or wine either. The taste is awful.
But that scripture doesn't say he didn't drink it because he didn't like it. It was because he had a ghost inside of him, & he had to look/be perfect when God looked at him.
Ah, then, Jennifer my Friend,quote: Originally Posted by Jennifer Bestworking:I can't drink beer or wine either. The taste is awful.
While I agree with you about the taste of beer, it is obvious you have not enjoyed the smooth, fruity taste of a good Beaujolais, Cabernet Sauvignon, or Pinot noir wine with a thick, juicy, medium rare steak. Truly a delight.
But, even just one nice cold beer on a hot day can be tasty -- but after one, the good taste disappears.
And, Chick, my Friend, you tell us, "But that scripture doesn't say he didn't drink it because he didn't like it. It was because he had a ghost inside of him, & he had to look/be perfect when God looked at him."
My Friend, you should have spent a wee bit more time in those Sunday School classes you tell us you attended as a youth, or maybe have become involved in a good Bible study. Then, you would have known more about John the Baptist and his calling from God.
First, how could he like what he had never tasted?
Second, it wasn't a ghost inside him, it was the indwelling Holy Spirit, God, inside him -- as He is with ALL believers -- from the moment we believe and receive Him as our personal Lord and Savior.
Finally, you erroneously declare, "he had to look/be perfect when God looked at him."
None of us, on our own, can look perfect, or even a little bit perfect when God looks at us. For Isaiah 64:6 tells us of our righteousness in the eyes of God, "For all of us have become like one who is unclean, And all our righteous deeds (works)are like a filthy garment;. . . "
But, as we are told in Philippians 3:8-9, we have the righteousness of Christ attributed to us, so that God sees the righteousness of Jesus Chrsit when He looks at us, and not our filthy works, our own attempts toward righteousness:
"More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith."
Vic, my Friend, as is usual with most of your copy/paste discussions -- I had to wonder what was happening in your head to prompt you to begin this discussion. But, I thank you for opening this thought stream and giving me the opportunity to explain more clearly.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
billie=je, you explain nothing, you know nothing and you are clearly nothing.
I take this opportunity to tell you the truth.
I'm sure Bill was slamming Jenn & I, we are his favorite people to hate, & tell lies about. Probably took what we said & turned it into something we didn't say, that is his MO. Put him on block, Vic, you will like the forum much better.
And a roach will come out when he thinks no one is watching to do his
dirty work.

A bottle of 1972 Chateau Margaux and a can of Vienna Sausages.

Can you show us this in Scripture? Or, is it only found in Roman Catholic Catechisms, Traditions, and the Apocrypha?
Smile, God loves even misled Roman Catholics!
Bless your heart!
