This personal Jesus is God’s new creation through Jesus for believers, as Jesus Holy Spirit will comfort and lead His believers in His gifts, and even do ministry through them, were the believer's participation is required. God’s Holy Spirit is with His, night and day throughout their lives and beyond............... People in Jesus day would drink the grape wine as the water could make people sick, as it would have waste water mixed in it, sweet fresh water was not available
Your suppose to treat your body like the temple of the Holy Spirit and alcohol is poison. So yes I would say it is more Christ like. Unless your a goat and enjoy drinking.
There is nothing wrong with enjoying drinking. As a matter of fact, there are distinct benefits. The first that comes to mind is that red wine provides benefits to heart and cardiovascular health. Obviously, moderation is crucial.

Non-alcoholic wine is a very recent invention, as in the past 200 years. Alcohol, used appropriately, has probably saved billions of lives for the simple reason that the process of making beer or wine destroys the harmful bacteria that exist in drinking water supplies all over the world. Using alcohol was the safe way to put water into a human body before reliable methods of purifying water were developed. As recently as the 18th century, people generally did not drink water. It simply wasn't safe to do so.
None of that suggests drinking to become intoxicated is a good idea.
Now, back to the topic of this thread. Your personal Jesus.

Since it seems this sentence was disregarded because it wasn't in red--now it is. Start a new thread if you want to talk about the pros and cons of alcohol.
HE spectacularly saved my life on a several occasions.......was wild how they happened......only Jesus or an angel could have pulled it off......
The Jesus of the Bible is alive today and wants to welcome you into the family through simple faith.......not one person who has believed has regretted the decision........
Sounds incredible - Vf6.
Have you discovered anything since, that He had for you to do in this world, that He saved you for?
He gave me specific talents and gifts to use in His service.

Again, what are those "specific" talents and gifts? What makes them different from 7 billion others?
