Subject: Drinking as a means of escape? |
Bible Note: Nolan I never viewed it as changing the subject I viewed it as answering your question with an example. We accept giving drugs to people in pain, as pain management. I do not see a Biblical prohibition against such. The only real prohibition I see against drinking is the various scripture warnings to “drunkards”. A drunkard is a person using alcohol to try to replace what only God can offer. By that I mean, people drink for various reasons, I submit to you that each and every one of those reasons can only be dealt with by God through Jesus Christ. If that is changing the subject or not addressing your question please restate your question. |
