I am shocked at how little
I am shocked at how little you know your scriptures. You seem to have some knowledge without wisdom.
First of all, how would you know what the onlookers were'actually' refering to in Acts 2? And Peter would obviously clearly state that they were not drunk......because they weren't drunk as they 'supposed'?
Being drunk in the Spirit is not being drunk at all. How on earth can you compare being intoxicated with alcohol to being drunk in the Spirit anyway???. Alcohol will make you lose your self control, lose sound judgement, give you a confused state of mind, make you do things you would not normally do. The Spirit does not do this! Big difference Mishel. Being drunk/filled with the Spirit does not make you lose sound judgement, self control or give you a confused state of mind. Have you ever been overcome by the Spirit to this extent in your life? I doubt it, but i though i'd ask. I have, so how would you know?
It's interesting the scriptures you have mentioned which in most God uses drunkeness as an example of man lost way. In the others you have mentioned, it referes to alcohol.
Covenient how you leave out Ephesians 5 v18: "do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit". Why would Paul mention both these in the same breath? why have the comparison of being drunk with wine or filled with the Spirit?
I am also shocked at how you can refer to the bible admonishing us to be sober and vigilant when this has nothing to do with being 'drunk' in the Spirit? The word 'sober' is used a lot in scripture as a means of self control, and a comparison to being drunk with wine/alcohol as this makes you lose self control.
Incidently, in Acts 2 v 14 they had to stand up..interesting.
