Subject: is a christian allowed to drink |
Bible Note: Lion, Not sure quite how to respond. I was never trying to make any statement in the discussion except to let azure know what was in the greek, since she(or he?) showed interest. If you look at the post I responded to she asked if the idea of not being pugnacious and not drinking could validly be combined into one phrase in the greek. The answer is no. But, if you do want to know my opinion then I think having a drink is not a sin. Second, the question of whether one should or not can certainly not be given a universal answer. For me, as a Baptist pastor, in my given congregation, the answer is certainly no I should not drink (Romans 14, 1 Corinthians 9). Besides, the stuff is remarkably foul tasting so I wouldn't want to. God bless you and sorry for the confusion. In Love, Beja |
