Featured Liberty - not worth supporting

Exactly

 

Quite obvious that this was in a Trump office, as all of the pictures are magazine covers. You have really outed yourself lately as a Trump detractor whenever possible. But I notice you are never against any financial benefits that may come your way because of Trump policies. Will you vote for him in 20?

 

The man is not infallible. I call 'em as I see them.

Unless he does something incredibly stupid (even for him), yes, I will likely vote for him.

 

Well, it's unfortunate that he's giving a thumb's up next to a framed photo of a Playboy magazine cover. I don't see how the photo of the three of them puts Trump's politics as the subject matter.

 

Well the magazine cover is obviously not the subject matter. What other relationship does Falwell have with Trump outside of politics? He supports his politics, not his lifestyles.

 

Except it says he did. There is nothing that suggests intoxicant made him impure. Where is your reference for that?

What do you think he served at the last supper?

Where does it say fresh squeezed?

There is nothing biblical about your position, just a preconceived idea.

 

On the cross, Jesus turned down vinegar mixed with gall, neither are alcohol. The gall may have been a poison designed to lesson Christ's suffering. Jesus also turned town wine mixed with myrrh, both have a pain-killing effect, which would be the reason Jesus turned it down, so as not to minimize his suffering on the cross.

The Bible doesn't say Jesus turned down any drink because it had wine in it -- that is your own view being imposed on the Bible. And, even if Jesus turned down wine on the cross because it is wine, it could have been situation specific, for the reason already given.

Ha! So, you quote a verse that says it was okay for Jesus to drink wine on the cross, give strong drink to the one who is perishing and wine to those in bitter distress.

Use a little wine for your stomach's sake, for reasons that applied to practically everyone back in the day? And, today, a glass of wine is a nice way to unstress after a day of work, and maybe even to extend your life. Besides, a medical recommendation to drink is not in the least a criticism of non-medical drinking.

That is such such a sad and inexcusable misrepresentation of scripture. Jesus didn't say they claimed he drank, Jesus himself claimed he drank.

That is such a sad misrepresentation of reality. Wine, not grape juice, is served at wedding parties. And, your reasoning is nonsense. if your scenario were true, instead of commenting about the oddity of saving the best for last (an oddity if real wine), the comment would have been where did you get fresh juice out of season. And, it might have also been asked why did you serve your important guests second-rate juice when you had better stuff.

There's no appearance of evil with drinking. But, there is an appearance of evil in the self-righteousness of the Pharisees for condemning drinking, even ridiculing the Lord for his professed alcohol consumption.

Hit and run.

 

Please show me in scripture where an intoxicant automatically makes one impure.

 

This is a logical fallacy known as the "burden of proof fallacy".

 

This is utter nonsense.

You are reading a lot into things. Drinking wine does not make you toxic.

It states it was wine. Wine is fermented. It was not grape juice as you try to portray.

Flaunts his position above the rules? Where do the rules say that a faculty member cannot consume alcohol? I've found nothing that says that. Students yes but students and faculty are not the same thing.

Do kids have the same rules as their parents and vice versa?

 

I would say drinking is the impetus for fights... and women (another subject).

 

Exactly.

It's along the same lines as, "you can't show me one scripture that says the apostles weren't gay".

 

I saw 99 fights over pool for every 1 over a woman.

 

Add alcohol to the equation

 

There was always plenty flowing.

 

Yea, I know
