It's same in the OT with the word יין.

After doing some additional study, I must admit I was wrong about what a "bottle" is. Joshua 9:13 "And these bottles of wine, which we filled, were new; and, behold, they be rent: and these our garments and our shoes are become old by reason of the very long journey." Bottles having been rent...

Perhaps you ought to reread his message. The argument being used was the same as Mark Ward's.

Okay, Mark Ward. Now it's a sin to read the KJV. Give me a break. If this is how you are going to argue, I want no part in it. "You're sinning!" "No, you're sinning!" "Nuh uh, it's YOU who are sinning!" How foolish. There's nothing in Scripture, no matter how much you try and twist it, that...

I'm going to trust the KJV translators on this one. I'm not changing anything, merely looking at what is written and understanding it based on what is said elsewhere. If the Bible has already said that you're not even to look at alcohol (therefore looking at alcohol is a sin), then the Bible...

"And no man putteth new wine into old bottles; else the new wine will burst the bottles, and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. But new wine must be put into new bottles; and both are preserved." (Luke 5:37-38) That's not for me to decide. God said so, and thus it must be. When it comes...

I've come to understand Scripture more clearly after studying the use of wine. I disagree with the statement that I am somehow preventing myself from understanding the Bible. It seems to me that the wine referred to as a blessing is grape juice, not some wine that defiles (as the book of Daniel...

The prohibition is not overruled by the reason for it. The prohibition is to not even look at alcohol, because if you do, you will be deceived by it. The passage is clear that looking at alcohol (just looking at it) will (not might, not could, but WILL) make you look upon women whom you ought...

That's simply not true. There are things that are sinful. For example, fornication is sinful. Lying is sinful. Etc. Alcohol itself is wicked, according to the Scripture above.

I believe those things to be examples of immodesty, not the only things the verse covers. For example, in Proverbs 7:10, it mentions that there is a such thing as "the attire of an harlot". So there are certain clothing that would be immodest. The KJV rendering of 1 Timothy 2:9 says broided...

"Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright." (Proverbs 23:31) Scripture commands that we not even look at alcohol, so it makes no sense for us to drink it either. Wine in Scripture refers to either fermented or unfermented...

It depends what you mean by these. Because traditions (e.g., wearing a suit to church) cannot be enforced, and I doubt that Paul or Peter or any other member of the early church was wearing a suit and tie. However, there is a certain aspect of what we wear that must conform to Scriptural...

No offense, but do you have anything to say but to repeat yourself? You're not making any argument or even attempting to interact with what I have put forward. I shall heed the Scriptures. "Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like unto him." (Proverbs 26:4)

Well, I hold to inspiration by dictation, as taught by Dr. Phil Stringer in his book The Unbroken Bible. I believe that when God inspired the Scriptures, He physically took over the "writers" and made them write/speak whatever He wanted them to. Thus, even if the LXX existed in its current form...

Not that I'm aware of, unless Scrivener did say that. If he did, then he may have believed truthfully what he was saying. I cannot understand this, but I will attempt to. If you're asking why it's fine "with their doctrine, but not Baptist doctrine," I never said that. I think immerse is a...
