It is not I who has a problem rightly dividing. Proverbs 23 clearly forbids looking upon wine when it is fermented. Nowhere in that passage is there a drink one or two clause.

News flash, George...

Look thou not the Hebrew word ra'ah. It is translated as don't experience... which means abstain. it is translated as consider not which means abstain. It is translated don't approve of which means abstain.

Shall I go on? the command Look thou not means abstain.

It clearly states not to drink it when it is fermented, not when you, not after you, but when it is...

It is not for kings to drink wine, nor for princes to drink strong drink. Again, we are said to be kings according to the Word of God. it is not for us to drink lest we forget the law and pervert judgment.

Clearly God did not allow His Children to partake of alcoholic beverages.

There is no way one can say God approves of children of His drinking intoxicants by those two passages alone... unless they twist them to say drink some and then stop.

But twisting them to say it is ok to drink does nothing to change God's Words. he says look thou not when it is... not after you.

Rightly divide the Word of Truth? I have.
