Subject: alcohol scripturally wrong? |
Bible Note: Dear Hank, Though we disagree ,I do appreciate your for your thoughts on our topic. I believe that we are in ageement that overindulgence (alcohol, tobacco products etc.) may lead to serious medical problems. I am certain that those who abuse God's gifts will suffer for their rebellious refusal to heed His laws. Alcoholism is NOT a disease, It is abondage to sin. No where in the Bible does God condemn men to Hell for having a physical disease...Gluttony is a sin, are we to ban meat and bread and allow only veggies? My plea is for moderation in all things beit beer, wine,bread, or meat. I pray that I will never relinquish the freedom that Christ gave me as a child of God. Alcohol is not evil...but those who willingly twist God's commands and abuse His statutes will be undone in the end. Hoppy (a some what unfortunate user name for the Topic under discussion(:- ) |
