I use that example when someone cites Psalms 104:15, "And wine that maketh glad the heart of man". If this is booze in Psalms 104, how glad did it make Aaron's heart, or Aaron's wife's heart? How glad did it make Eleazar and Ithamar, their younger brothers, or Moses their uncle? How glad did it make Lot or Noah or Ham?<br /><br />Then there is this? Proverbs 31:4-5 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: (5) Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.<br /><br />The response is usually some variation of, "I am not a king." So who are you that is fine for you to forget the law or to have perverse judgment? And what kind of good gift from God causes you to forget God and become perverse? I would rather not have a gift like that. Sounds like Mr Wilson is not wise, being deceived by booze.Farmer Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09637851494862726991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20213892.post-91687692913865727892016-06-22T06:49:04.610-07:002016-06-22T06:49:04.610-07:00It would be interesting to see Mr. Wilson explain ...It would be interesting to see Mr. Wilson explain how wine would be a gift to Aaron & his priestly sons, according to Leviticus 10:8-11:<br /><br />8 ΒΆ And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,<br />9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:<br />10 And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;<br />11 And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.<br /><br />This was not even Russian roulette, since God would kill the priests ... they did not even have a "chance" of surviving.Gary Webbnoreply@blogger.com
