Bible Question: I was told in sunday school that the bible says that we are not to drink anything stronger than water. Is that true and if so where is it at in the bible |
Bible Answer: Greetings! The Berean appropriately wrote this statement to you: "The danger many of us face today is we don't test what we hear." "Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God."Col 3:1 Just because you have heard something from someone in authority does not make it true! Examine God's Word for yourself, or better yet, ask that individual to show you where his/her support comes from in God's Word! As iron sharpens iron, so does one man sharpen another! (Pr 27:17) If more people would earnestly seek to know God through His Word, we wouldn't be confused by "second hand" knowledge! (Does anyone really like "hand-me-downs?") As you read, study and become familiar with God's Word, the more you will be able to discern HIS truth from what you hear! And best of all, the MORE you will KNOW HIM! Blessings on your pursuit of the Truth! Mommapbs |
