Is Alcohol Sinful part 3
Abuse does not take away proper use. Don't say because of the abuse we shouldn't take away the proper use.
We need to remember that legalism is the same as licentiousness just on the other end.Another way to think of this is that using things outside of the boundaries of the bible is sin. If we change our minds to do things biblically, it is called repentance, and will change our lifestyle and our behavior.
Legalism is more dangerous disease than alcoholism because it doesn't look like one - Justin Taylor
Alcohol makes men fail. Legalism, helps them succeed in the world.
There are a number of places where the bibles speaks of wine being a sacrifice to the Lord, or wine being a blessing, or seeing Jesus making wine.
Paul could have said elders and deacons could not drink wine, however in 1 Tim 5 he commands Timothy to drink wine. Therefore, why tell people they can't drink wine, when the bible doesn't say so. Are we asking people to do more than the bible commands?
