Subject: Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol |
Bible Note: Hello, Sober (but not Somber) Tim :-) Someone once asked me, "I suppose that you, as a Southern Baptist, see a problem with alcohol?" And I said, "No, friend, I don't see any problem whatever with alcohol. I simply leave it alone and it leaves me alone. The problem isn't with the alcohol, it's with the guy who drinks it. He can get drunk as a fiddler and do all sorts of crazy things, and he can become addicted to it. That's the problem and that's why I leave it alone." --Hank |
