TODAY'S PROMISE

"The LORD says,

'Come, everyone who is thirsty - 

here is water!

Come, you that have no money -

buy grain and eat!

Come Buy wine and milk -

it will cost you nothing!

Why spend money on what does not satisfy?

Why spend your wages and still be hungry?

Listen to me and do what I say,

and you will enjoy the best food of all.'"

(Isaiah 55:1,2 GNV)

CHURCH OF THE WINO

Article of Faith.

"Thou shalt drink much wine."

Scripture substantiation

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish,

and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.

Let him drink, and forget his poverty,

and remember his misery no more"

(Proverbs 31:6,7 KJV)

"Drink no longer water,

but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake

and thine often infirmities."

(1 Timothy 5:23 KJV)

"Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do,

do it with thy might; ..."

(Ecclesiastes 9:10 KJV)

Therefore,

"Thou shalt drink much wine."

ABSURD

You say.

Yes it is.

However it is no more absurd than several of the 

most popular doctrines in Christendom.

At least one extremely popular doctrine cannot be found

in the Scriptures at all.  

That is,

unless you pull the Scriptures you want out of context,

then put them in the order you want.  And like several of

the other doctrines, totally ignore those Scriptures that do not suit you.

Are the things I believe about God and the Scriptures

something that mankind has concocted and taught me?

Or,

something that I believe because I have found it 

taught in the Scriptures -ALL OF THE SCRIPTURES?
