Bible Note: Pete: Where does Scripture teach that drug-induced euphoria (alcohol is a drug and a powerful one at that) "allows me to feel the goodness of God's blessings"? Are Christians therefore who choose not to imbibe depriving themselves of these blessings? Is alcohol a vital crutch without which the followers of Christ are missing out on the full joys of their salvation? Please think about these questions, Pete. I don't want your answers to them for they would only serve to foster further debate and that's not what this Forum is about. ....... The Christian walks by faith, not by sight; he walks by the truth of God's word and is governed by that truth, not by his feelings. If one needs to get a "buzz" on in order to marvel at the mighty works of God and His love in giving His one and only Son to save those who believe in Him from eternally perishing, it's time for him to go back to the Bible and discover its real message to fallen man. That message is not to get a euphoric"buzz" on in order to behold the majesty of God and His creation. Please, no more of this circular chatter Pete. It entirely misses the point of God's word, it edifies no one, and it does not align itself with the aims and mission of Study Bible Forum. So please, I implore you, no more of this. Read the Terms of Use laid down for the benefit and direction of registrants to this Forum and comply with them. --Hank |
