Wine and the Bible - Part 3

INTRO: This message, in the Scanlon and Dixon story is a continuation of the whisper of an informant. You will remember that in this story Dixon had been convicted on seemingly very solid ground. Then came an informant with new information and the case was reinvestigated. Well, in the last message we heard the beginning of the whisper of an informant. Here it is: Unfermented grape juice is called wine in the Bible.” I call that ‘good wine.' Now we do not need to take much time to show that fermented grape juice is called wine. That is an obvious fact that remains obvious. The proposition I want to make today that will be new to many of you is this: Fermented wine in the Bible is bad wine.” I believe it is always bad. It is never good. It is never condoned by God because it is inherently bad and has very evil potential.
