Why does the Mormon Church forbid wine if the Bible approves it?
Dear Gramps, I am 16 years old and am having a tough time coming to grips with some of our beliefs as a whole. It appears as I read and learn more that elders and older ones in the Mormon Church only mimic things they are taught rather then checking for themselves to find if they are based on sound biblical teachings of Jesus Christ. As I look over the untold questions of many, it appears that many are lost souls really not knowing how to think for themselves. A question that was asked for example was the wine that Jesus partook at the last supper of intoxicating nature. Well, I know the Church’s view which I disagree with strongly. The older men are not using their God given abilities of reason and continue to hold on to the ideas that it was of grape juice origin. The facts speaks for themselves, you would have to discredit the Bible as a whole to hold on to such spurious beliefs. I have done considerable research on this subject and find it to be quite contrary to Church teachings.
