Jots and Tittles; Semantics and Splitting Hairs

People are funny.

We (I say we because I think all of us do this) will try to make things that are written and things people say mean what we want them to mean and not what they actually mean.

Take the bible, for example. There are groups of people who will make the scriptures mean whatever they want them to mean by taking things out of context. And some will even try to make it say things that aren't even there.

Others say that some teachings in the bible aren't relevant for today. Those people are wrong. Everything the bible teaches is completely relevant, always.
(Isaiah 40:8 and 1 Peter 1:25)

I know some who say that it makes them feel more comfortable to refer to God as a 'she'. Nowhere in the bible can you find that it even almost means that God is female. Every time God is referred to in the Hebrew and in the Greek, the word is for the masculine gender, not the feminine. God, as my friend Mark pointed out, is called Father. He is referred to as a Great King. Both Masculine.

Other groups try to make the bible say that believers should not drink alcohol at all. I have even heard some say that where 'wine' is mentioned in the bible, it means grape juice.

I did a little research on this. In Numbers 6:1-21, the law of the Nazirite is spelled out. In this law, there is a section that differentiates between wine and grape juice (Numbers 6:3).
The Apostle Paul even recommends drinking a little wine (1 Timothy 5:23), suggesting that it is good for digestion and for your general health.

The list goes on. My point is that, if you are going to call yourself a 'Christian', then you need to get over yourself and pay attention to what God is actually saying. Advance His agenda, not yours.
