1 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | jlhetrick | 211078 | ||
Pete- welcome to the forum! you wrote: "I do not get drunk with wine or strong drink. I am not a thief, covetous, reviler or swindler. I have never been and never will be a drunkard. When I drink my wine or margarita with my dinner I enjoy a buzz that relaxes me and allows me to feel the goodness of God's blessings. It is a wonderful euphoria to behold the majesty of God's creation." Why would you believe that the physiological effects of alcohol is in any way allowing you to "feel the goodness of God's blessing"? From what portion of Scripture do you believe alcohol intoxification results in or in any way involves "a wonderful euphoria to behold the majexty of God's creation"? What we can be sure of, with nothing left to doubt, is the command of Scripture NOT to involve in this experience, as John pointed out- Ephesians 5:18. You're not disputing the clear teachings of Scripture....are you? |

Quite the contrary, The clear teachings of the scripture authorizes the enjoyment of strong drink. In fact it is a command from God. I do marvel at God's handiwork with and without enhancement. Can you answer the question, why would God sanction the intake of wine and strong drink if He intended them to be not be enjoyed? I don't understand how you can read Deut 14:26 and Ecc 9:7 and not accept what God says? Pete |

Hello Peter, The burden of proof is on you to demonstrate the validity of your claim. While there is no absolute injunction against the drinking of alcohol, it is a far stretch to infer that scripture encourages (clearly prescribes) such action for the believer! May I offer that: 1. Your method of interpretation is lacking; 2. You also neglect the culture of the times; 3. The 2 verses to which you refer are not prescriptive toward the consumption of strong alcoholic drink; 4. They also don't constitute a Biblical doctrine. You have engaged in what is commonly referred to as "proof-texting". May I strongly suggest that you search the entirety of scripture before offering such speculative conclusions! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
