Not sure who you are talking to, but it is one of those that I put on my IGNORE list. Jewish Table Wine at the time of Christ was about 1/3 of the Alcohol content of American or European Wine. I would be like drinking a wine cooler. You have to DRINK three times as much, to get drunk, as just about any other wine.
HOWEVER, the special wine for PASSOVER was often NON-ALCOHOLIC Wine:
". . .
The most popular solution, though, was adapted from a common custom of the old country. Immigrants soaked raisins in water and boiled down the liquid, producing an ersatz wine. It was thicker and sweeter than wine from grapes. Most raisin wine was non-alcoholic, either because American Jews mistakenly conflated fermentation with leavening, which was proscribed on Passover, or because this left it exempt from excise taxes. Some made the wine at home, but production also migrated to small shops and basement wineries. By 1890, the six leading vendors in New York alone sold 40,000 gallons of this Passover wine.

Thank you, VCO, but most of those images are not in the file format that I prefer to use for my graphics... remember the angel I used from a painting you supplied? I had to erase everything from around the figure of the angel to isolate it. That particular one was relatively simple and did not take very long, but it is not something I would want to be doing on a regular basis, as it is very time consuming. I am on the lookout for male looking angels, though And I did download a few paintings that I may consider isolating the angel from the surrounding environment, after the one you gave me, but I have not gotten around to doing any of them yet If you ever do have anything to share that I could add to my creations, you would not have to worry about sizing it I do that myself, to proportionally fit with every other element, as I add them to the template/panel

Hi theanointedsinner, absolutely Christians confess their sins and He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins. A Pastor once likened confessing our sins to washing our hands during the course of a day's work. You would not go through your daily routine without washing your hands because they will get dirty right; likewise he said confessing your sins is keeping your spiritual life clean during the course of your daily routine.
Confessing our sins at some point in a Christians life should happen automatically.
1John1:9
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

there are many times that I wish I have the MIB amnesia flash thing so that after I sinned, I can then use the MIB flash thing on myself so I don't have that lingering memory of sin, but 1 John 1:9 can hopefully work just as effectively as well
One post says "Sinner" the other post says "winner"
Hi decon, can you make clear the two posts above, are they one and the same "POSTER"

If you believe in Christ and you have faith in Christ, and you are born-again, and Christ ordained before that you walk in good works, would you leave the church because you knew Christ expected you to be engaged in the building up of his kingdom, and you had to do something besides say that you believe?
