Subject: Don't understand Jesus's view on alcohol |
Bible Note: John, This is not an attack on your personal relationship with God. But for being a person who defends christian liberty, you seem uneasy to tell me that the Word of God says that its alright for ME to have a little herb. From what I've read so far I'm very interested in seeing what MY liberties are. But it seems to me as if your seeking support from other christians; so you don't feel guilty. Other wise you could tell me if the Bible condones getting a buzz. You tell me to not put confidence in my flesh. Is this a statement for the christian with no liberties? Is your flesh more spiritual than mine? Is not all flesh weak? As a person who DEFENDS christain liberties, tell me if its okay for me to "pet the serpent" so to speak. To be a defender of this kind of liberty seems to put alot of blood on your hands to the people that beleive you. Only IF your wrong. So tell me, does God condone getting a Buzz? Yes/NO I know I've shown no scripture for what I've said,But I'm trying to "keep it real" on this one. Matt |
