Subject: Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol |
Bible Note: Dear Matt, I am not a crusader for alcohol, rather I see my role as defnding christian liberty. I have no idea what your tolerance is for any kind of drug, but I do know how much beer I can drink without entering into sin. Now whether you believe that (or not) is no concern of mine. It is between my Lord and me personaly. Because the Holy Spirit abides in me and I have the Word of God to study and rely on, I am confident that when I sin, God let's me know about it. Oh boy, does He let me know! And it hurts! So Brother Matt, I say, strive to be obedient to the Word of God and keep your trust in Him and put no confidence in the flesh. God Bless You, John |
