Alcohol?

Well after being told to study the subject above in Scripture I have started to do just that. I ask you a question; "Is drinking alcohol wrong?". I will attempt to begin answering.

First, you must know that I am not anywhere near done studying the subject and have yet to come to a definite conclusion.

The answer to the question "Is drinking alcohol wrong?" is both yes and no.
"Strong drink" is forbidden in Scripture except when given to a person who is dying to ease their suffering. However, wine is not forbidden. Now what is strong drink, so far I would conclude that anything with alcohol added in addition to the natural fermentation process would be considered "strong drink".

So drinking most wine and or beer is ok in moderation but most everything else is not.

Tell me what you think.

I love you guys.

Oh and by the way, since most of what I have been taught has turned out to be wrong this is just another thing to add to the list.

And no I am not going to start drinking.

And this will be funny to read for some of you who I have had previous converstions with pertaining to the subject.

"TAKE HEED UNTO DOCTRINE"

“We’re not going to be a church that’s going to bury you with doctrine and theology and talk about things that really don’t pertain to your life,” he said.


This statement came from a "pastor" who is doing a church plant in North Carolina. I hope none of you think that this statement is ok.

I wish we would go back to the Bible to find out how we should do ministry. Here is what Paul said about our ministry.

"preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction"

But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.

SPEAK THE THINGS WHICH ARE FITTING FOR SOUND DOCTRINE.
This is not what we see in our ministries today. We see a lot of this though

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

The statement made by this "pastor" is horrible. The sad thing is this is just about all we see nowadays. This pastor will probably have a really "successful" church and will have "reached" a lot of people but it is because the people of that community will have their ears tickled by the teacher that the town officially loves.

LETS BE DIFFERENT AND SEPERATE FOR HIS GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
