The whole WOW is convoluted and mired in tradition not an actual reading of the scripture. Take verse 17 for instance

Quote:

17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

Barley? Mild Drinks? There is no way to interpret that other than beer or some other mild alcohol containing brew. Also it says ” also other grain”. Again only brewed drinks are made from grains, or at leas in 1833 they were. So it is obvious Joseph never intended for a total ban on alcohol yet tradition has made it a great evil.

So why do we adhere to a misreading of the doctrine today. Becasue tradition and doctrine have become so intertwined in the church yet both are a measure of your obedience.
