21 | Kill your brother and drink strong drink | James 2:10 | writteninthebook | 211089 | ||
Hi Pete, I'm with you, brother. We must be very careful about how we post on this site, because of the format, it is very easy to be judged as being wrong for something in our notes, when our accusers have such a small portion of information. I am not knocking the other posters, they are all good and godly people, I am sure. And they do mean well, but in the past, I have been judged for a time by not stating my case clearly enough and I have been made to feel unwelcome. You are not saying how much is a 'buzz', but, that is a real buzz-word on any forum such as this. (o; There are some who like to go to amusement parks for the rush, but they are not likely to be challenged for it. Alcohol is often abused, like many other things that are created by God, and brought into this world. My feelings are that alcohol was put into society for a reason. Such as a marriage, where people are more jolly by releasing inhibitions, to an agreeable limit of course, and this makes the memories more fun to recall in the years down the road. But, alcohol does get abused, and people are hard on all that drink this 'devil's drink' for that reason. Look at sex, for instance. Something that God placed in this world for our enjoyment, and as a way to propagate the human race, becomes abused through such things as pornography, and there are many who look down on sex as being dirty. Maybe that is not a good parallel, there are certainly others, but I hope you get my point. Let me ask you, Pete, Do you see yourself as committing sin? Is the Holy Spirit convicting you? Does God's Word say you are wrong in this? -remember to keep the verses in context. Again, I have not always been very popular here, because I try to learn, but there were times when I overstayed my welcome by not watching my words, So I pray for forgiveness from our gracious host. Amen. |
