1 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | lionheart | 203668 | ||
Hank,Doc This takes me back over eighteen years. October will mark eighteen years clean and sober for me. The one thing I can say at this very moment in time is that I would not be in recovery today without a relationship with Jesus Christ. To those who battle with alcoholism, recovery is a lifetime endever. I will be in recovery for the rest of my life. People none of this is possible without God's involvement. Without God it's not a matter of if but only when. If you do drink then give do consideration to quiting and if you don't drink then don't start. And guess what folks, I don't miss it at all. My worst day as a disiple of Jesus Christ will always be better than my best day as an alcoholic. In Him, lionheart |

2 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | Thomas8 | 203680 | ||
Hi Doc, Hank and lionheart, I imagine most every drinker has hit bottom and prayed for deliverance. I'm sure that they are sincere when they pray. Why are some redeemed and others not? I believe that sobriety is impossible for many of these people without divine intervention. AA and Rehab fail the people I'm talking about. So ... Why does God answer some prayers, "yes," and not all of them. What is the difference? This question applies to any drug addition or habitual sin. |

3 | alcohol scripturally wrong? | Eph 5:18 | DocTrinsograce | 203694 | ||
Hi, Thomas... I think that the difference is salvation (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). God has given us everything we need to live righteous lives (2 Peter 1:3-4). People get confused between indicatives and the imperatives that arise from them. I'll post a quote, tonight, from Martyn Lloyd-Jones that brings light to this question. In Him, Doc |
