Did Jesus drink Alchol?

Hi all, I have been gone awhile.

This was stated on the first page of this post,

"As has been explained to you by me and others, the reason I don't quote scriture concerning music is because the Bible is silent about it and I refuse to use prooftexts to make a case."

I disagree, the Bible speaks about music through out the Bible.

I know this is off topic but I just wanted to go on record that the Bible does speak about music.

Ben, you stated "to call Him a priest is incorrect.

But what about Hebrews 7:23-28?

Verse 26 says "For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;"

Jesus was the high priest!

Funny you should mention it...

Matthew 11
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

I already mentioned Luke 7:33-34, but the abolitionists (for lack of a better word) somehow blew it off. Basically, it really doesn't matter what the Bible says, since it doesn't directly say "Christ drank alcoholic wine" (though it does say basically that in the original Greek, but the Greek doesn't matter, only what's in the KJV) they're going to believe exactly what they always have, it's been ingrained in their thinking.

 

Thanks Jonathan,

Richard </font>[/QUOTE]Richard, Would you then say that He being the High Priest He had to be always pure and undefiled to come before the Father? Or was He as the OT high priests that were only in this state of purity when they were "on duty", so to say.

 

Jonathan,

Do you see the difference between an actual incident and an accusation? I can see some of the Christians on this board that see no problem going into a bar and sipping on one and having sinners saying, see. What a hypocrite, he has no problem getting drunk with the drunkards. Is the accusation true or false?

 

That was referring to specific styles of music. The Bible does address music, but not specific styles.

 

Hebrews 5
8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
9 And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;
10 Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.
11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

Genesis 14
18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine:
and he was the priest of the most high God.

 

AMEN! Sis Suwei!

 

Well, after six pages, I think this horse has been adequately beaten.
