JUST BECAUSE ONE DRINKS WINE, DOES NOT MAKE THEM A DRUNKARD. I HAVE OFTEN BEEN ACCUSED OF BEING THE "HEAD OF THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT," IN THE SOUTH, RUN CARRIE GEREN SCOGGINS POLITICAL NEWSLETTER, CARRIE GEREN SCOGGINS POLITICAL NEWSLETTER BIBLE PROPHECY TIMES EDITION, YET I "RIGHTLY DIVIDE" THE SCRIPTURES. WE ARE DO "DO EVERYTHING IN MODERATION," AND NOT DRINK TO GET DRUNK. HAVING A GLASS OF WINE WITH ONE'S MEAL ON SPECIAL OCCASIONS IS NOT GETTING DRUNK! WHEN JESUS TURNED THE WATER INTO WINE IT WAS NOT DUE TO WANTING ALL TO GET DRUNKEN, YET HE DID TURN THE WATER INTO WINE. USING ONE'S COMMON SENSE, THIS SHOWS THAT HE SAW THEY WERE NOT JUST DRINKING TO GET DRUNK, THEY NEEDED ENOUGH TO GO WITH THE MEAL. AS MUCH AS I LOVE PAT ROBERTSON, I DO SEE HIS LEGALISM AT TIMES. I CAN EXPLAIN LEGALISM QUICKLY, AS WHEN GOD TOLD THE JEWISH PEOPLE TO "KEEP THE SABBATH DAY HOLY," THE PEOPLE THEN PASS LAWS, ADDING UNTO GOD'S LAW, SAYING THAT THEY COULD NOT WALK OVER 50 FEET FROM THEIR HOMES' ON THE SABBATH. THIS BASICALLY CHANGED THE LAW OF GOD, WHEN ADDING UNTO IT. THE UPC, OR UNITED PENTECOSTALS [THOUGH I AM PENTECOSTAL I KNOW THIS IS TRUE OF THE UPC], ADDED UNTO GOD'S WORD AS WELL. THEY ADDED TO "KEEPING A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES," AND " A WOMAN'S HAIR IS HER GLORY," "IF SHE BE CONTENTIOUS THEN LET HER BE SHORN, [CONCERNING THE CUTTING OF A FEMALE'S HAIR], AND THE SAME WITH A MAN'S HAIR, ABOUT CUTTING IT, "IF HE BE CONTENTIOUS THERE IS NO SUCH LAW." DUE TO THE UNITED PENTECOSTALS ADDING IN THEIR RULES UNTO GOD'S WORD, SUCH AS WOMEN CAN NOT CUT THEIR HAIR AT ALL, CAN NOT WEAR PANTS, AND MEN CAN NOT HAVE BEARDS NOR WEAR LONGER HAIR. ALL OF THESE WERE THEIR MAN MADE RULES ADDED UNTO WHAT THE BIBLE STATES. THE SCRIPTURE DOES NOT SAY THAT THE WOMAN CAN NOT CUT HER HAIR, SAYS "OR LET HER BE SHORN,' AND WITH A MAN, IF HE BE CONTENTIOUS THERE IS NO SUCH RULE [THAT HIS HAIR HAS TO BE SHORT]. SCRIPTURE SAYS TO KEEP A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES, BUT THEY ADD ONTO THE WORD OF GOD SAYING IT MUST BE DRESSES FOR WOMEN. THEY HAVE ADDED A LOT UNTO THE WORD OF GOD WHEN IT COMES TO WINE, AND THEY REALLY NEED TO NOT 'ADD UNTO THE WORLD OF GOD,' NOR 'TAKETH AWAY FROM THE WORD OF GOD.'
