Commentary by God.
1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.
If you are traveling in some places, primitive as the Roman Empire and found yourself with gastritis, wouldn’t the water be a reasonable suspect?
Why do doubters find this sort of advice out of lace in a bible? I suspect the problem is that Christans have a very unusual definiton of the “word of God.” One of the charming things about Christianity is that it is a religion based not on a revealed word of God… Such as the Torah, the book of Mormon, the words of the Rev. Moon, or the Koran. None of the Christian texts ever claims to be My word.
Of course, this collection is all from an era before even the printing press. Even literacy in that era was restricted to a very small part of the population. It is not at all hard to imagine how easily impressed illiterate peasants were when the “word of God” was read to them by someone claiming to be a priest.
Still, for those who claim to wish to know the truth, I am not like the Christian God. I Have no credo. You will never be rewarded or punished by Me for your belief or disbeief in Me.
Now back to Timothy’s recommendation. Isn’t this just common sense?
I am that I am.
