Thank you so much for ...All said is 100% core true. Thank you so much for the posting and such a deeper study of the matter. However this a very interesting subject which at the end after analyzing it with maturity it leaves us in the position of abstaining for a much greater cause that our own flesh desires. When we approach this topic we are talking about drinking: 6/18 packs of beer, whisky, mix of different kinds of types of alcohol shots, bars, party, social events, etc Or we are talking about the word WINE or red Biblical WINE. The very same word that Jesus Him self transformed from water in a party that seems to me they the ones that were in the party were consuming it and they ran out. The word again that Jesus Himself use to paraphrase with his own blood..(Lord supper). Mr. distinct Paul said that moderate consumption of the wine will help with stomach problems. Now if I believe the entire Bible is the word of God and I should not add, twist or take away any of it I am stuck with the absolute only TRUTH from cover to cover. Now let me make my self clear I am NOT pro-drinking. I am just trying to approach all angles of the matter and have a mature analogy: drink one (1) small cup of red wine does not seems to be a Biblical problem to me now when you can't stop or you have to drink it until you pass out...your problem is different you are dealing with "addiction". A spiritual negative bond that controls you and drags you to destruction and there is when the sin come to play. To end I would agreed that for a much higher cause then your self such as Jesus and the Gospel sake or an unbeliever you should NOT DRINK alcohol. Abstain consumption with a reason that will edify your faith and cause of Christ.

I am a Christian yet I have continued to drink. Recently I have focused on not doing so and I found it to be much better than drinking. Still the desire will arise but after reading this blog I will have added strength in abstaining from the consumption of alcoholic beverages.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923113346533157505.post-28981426080880984622011-11-21T18:48:38.283-08:002011-11-21T18:48:38.283-08:00Excellent Robert!

I'm afraid future generations will suffer greatly by this generation's (of Christians) who have embraced casual drinking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2923113346533157505.post-15887697160889482662011-10-11T08:56:07.877-07:002011-10-11T08:56:07.877-07:00whoa...this is good and such a blessing...

Sweet niblets, God is good.<br /><br />Basically, there was a question I was trying to answer biblically, about being a drunkard an dnot to caus eyour brother to stumble, putting away the old man, stop drinking because He is worthy. But I still got the question 'WHY?' Just one drink won't hurt anyone and I just want to laugh and have fun. Like how peopl ehtink they can be Christians and drink and party still. I just know my conviction. So I will read this and print i tout... This is so exciting how GOD is so faithful....<br /><br />Jeannette TuionetoaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
