LOL, this made me chuckle!


Check out this description of what is allowed for bishops vs. deacons.  :)

1 Timothy 3:1-9(NKJV)
This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. 
A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach; 
not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous; 
one who rules his own house well, having his children in submission with all reverence 
(for if a man does not know how to rule his own house, how will he take care of the church of God?); 
not a novice, lest being puffed up with pride he fall into the same condemnation as the devil. 
Moreover he must have a good testimony among those who are outside, lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil.
Likewise deacons must be reverent, not double-tongued, not given to much wine, not greedy for money, 
holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience. 

Not given to wine vs. not given to much wine.  Who determines the value of much?  :)
