1 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | petedavis6263 | 211049 | ||
Hi Cheri, What do you mean carrying on? Are you saying that I am incorrectly reading the bible? All scripture is given by God and if I have some questions why do you consider it carrying on? Please tell me. There is no one I want to kill and I don't believe I will ever want to kill anyone, but there is one thing I do enjoy now and then, drinking wine and strong drink. My pastor says that I should not drink at all, but God gives me permission to even use my tithe money to do so. I'm not excessive at all but I do enjoy a buzz two or three times a week. Why should I not obey God's word? Pete |

2 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | skccab | 211055 | ||
Pete, I left that part out on purpose, thinking you would probably see your error. Since you didn't, here it is. First off, you missed the qualifying portion - too far. Deut. 14:24 states "...if the way be too long...; or if the place be too far..." Seeing as how there is virtually a church most anywhere nowadays, and if you're really in the boondocks, all that is needed is a phone call - there is absolutely NO EXCUSE for not getting your tithes and offerings to where they are supposed to go. Sorry, to blow that one down for you. :o) Cheri |

Dear Cheri, Don't be sorry, you did not blow it for me. Thank you for continuing our dialogue. Am I correct about your instruction that if I am too far away from the church I belong too, I must go to the closest church down the street and give my tithes to them, the wrong church? Pete |

Hi Cheri, Everyone seems to think that I am wrong for believing what I believe about drinking strong drink, yet no has shown where God explicitly forbids it. On the other hand I have found that God gave it as a gift for mankind. He only forbids the excessive use of intoxicating drinks. When I read those passages in context, I can't help but conclude that I am honoring God when I enjoy the fruits of His creation. Pete |
