1 | Is it o.k. to drink a glass of wine? | Eph 5:1 | Bojangles207 | 230137 | ||
1faith1: I've never found anything in scripture that prohibits having wine (I am not referring to elder qualifications.. I'm assuming you aren't one), only being intoxicated (Eph 5:18). However, when in doubt, don't! I encourage you to study Romans 14. To sum up what I'm getting at - if you think it is a sin and do it anyway, for you it is a sin. I've struggled with that regarding more than one issue, including this one. My advice would be to pray about it a lot and study scripture on it. If you're in doubt, I wouldn't do it until you're confident you're not sinning. G. Preston: I am curious about your statement, "Don't interpret that to mean a hard drink, that is prohibited." I was hoping you could provide the scripture you're referencing, please. |

2 | is it a sin to have sex on your period | 1 Cor 7:3 | Bojangles207 | 224021 | ||
I don't know what the right answer is to this question. It's definitely not the first time I've heard it asked, though. I definitely agree that if you have doubuts about whether or not it is permissible, then you should not do it. I do, however, find some merit in the Leviticus chapter that was referenced. If everything else in that chapter is still not permissible today, then it stands to reason that neither is this. I don't think these things were grouped together by accident. I'm sure God has a very good reason for having wanted His people to abstain from having intercourse during that time. But we don't have to know/understand God's reasoning in order to follow His commands. No - I don't believe we're justified by works. Yes - I do believe we're saved by grace. But I also think that God had those expectations for a reason, and just because they're in the Old Test doesn't automatically mean they aren't still in effect. As I said - I don't know what the right answer is. Just tossing in some 2cents from a married lady :) Bojangles207 |
