1 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | John Reformed | 84839 | ||
Dear Matt, 1 Cor 8:9 But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. Personaly I enjoy a beer or two after dinner. Now, if you consider that to be sinful then, if I were you, I would avoid doing so myself. You are free to abstain, and I am free to drink as long as it is in moderation. 1 Tim 3:8 Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain, 2 Titus 2:3 Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, Of course if you can demonstrate from Scripture that I am breaking the Law of Christ, I will stand corrected. There has been quite a bit of discussion on this topic on the forum already. You may access it by using the search feature. I do appreciate that your concern is for the spiritual welfare of those who disagree. That's a good thing. But your answer must be backed up by scripture if you expect anyone to be persuaded. God Bless, John |

2 | Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol | Prov 20:1 | DAIRYLEADER5 | 84866 | ||
THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, MATH.5-29,ROM;8;13,MATH,6;22,2CORN.;5;10,1 CORN,6;13,1 CORN;9;27,ALL THESE PLUS MANY MORE FROM OLD TEST. TO NEW TELL US NOT TO PUT ANYTHING INTO OUR BODIES THAT MAKE THE MIND UNSTABLE, TO ME ITS NOT WORTH TAKING A CHANCE ON LOOSING MY SOUL, THIS IS SOMETHING YOU NEED TO TALK TO GOD ABOUT. THE PASSAGE IN INTERPRETATION FROM HEBREW AND GREEK TELLS ME THAT THIS WAS RECOMENDED ONLY BECAUSE OF THE SPREAD OF BOWEL DESIESE THAT WAS RAMPENT AT THE TIME ,TODAY WE HAVE ANTIBIOTICS.DAIRYLEADER5 | ||||||

Dear DAIRYLEADER5, Thank you for the texts which you believe prohibit drinking wine. The problem is that they are a strong warning to those who eye is blurred; who live according to the flesh (which exempts true believers); those whose deeds are bad and those who are undisciplined. None of the verses prohibit the godly use of wine. My concern in answering your post is not the defense of wine but of christian liberty. I detest man-made commandments (legalism) and will have no part in them. They lead people into the snare of works-righteousness. There are certain things that God has given us the freedom to do or not do. I believe the MODERATE use of wine (or any other alchoholic beveridge) is one of those freedoms. The primary reason I have for answering these " drinking is sin" posts is that God has commanded "Therefore do not let what is for you a good thing be spoken of as evil;" (Rom 14:16) PS: In case you don't know, to commuicate on the internet in all caps is considered poor manners. It is the equivelant of shouting at someone. :-) God Bless, John Reformed |
