In this episode of Call Him Father, Micah and Pastor Taylor talk about Bible translations, alcohol, drunkenness, communion, and the story of Judas.
They start with a lighter conversation about the Bible app, paper Bibles, Bible translations, and why Taylor generally recommends translations like the ESV and NIV while warning against weaker paraphrases and unreliable translations.
From there, they ask whether Jesus drank wine, what the Bible actually says about alcohol, and where Christians should draw the line between drinking and drunkenness. They discuss personal conscience, wisdom, addiction history, caring for your body as a temple, and why the Bible condemns drunkenness without creating rules God did not make.
The conversation then moves into communion and why the Lord’s Supper should be approached with reverence. Taylor explains why communion is not just a casual religious ritual, why unbelievers should not feel embarrassed staying seated, and why Christians should examine their hearts before coming to the table.
Finally, they talk about Judas, whether he went to heaven or hell, what his betrayal reveals about sin, money, false discipleship, and the difference between Judas and Peter. Both betrayed Jesus, but Peter returned to Christ and received grace, while Judas did not.
