I have met several people who have quit smoking pot and are schizophrenic,and bipolar, but then it could be they just need the Lord, since the ones i met refuse him

I personally don't drink I used to drink but was told by God not to have anymore strong drink or speak filthyness from my mouth the I should be consecrated separated for His glory I obey ..
You are half right...

Col 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.

1Ti 5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

If my God commands I obey no drinking it may be for others but for me I don't need it that was for timothy for his infirmities of his stomach

Jesus said that in the spring of the year; grapes are harvested in the fall. Unrefrigerated grape juice doesn't last very long. Turning grapes into wine was a way of preserving the fall's harvest.
Very true and fact I agree one week I dedicated to no leaven to find this out but also due to the preservatives I also found theybusedba form of leaven but I prefer no strong drink not just because I am commanded but I enjoy living sober and observe all things lets look at Noah sinned through strong drink or Judah committed three sexual immoral sins one of them included dishonoring his parents by marrying a cannanite but all this done while drinking let's keep in mind most of the christian population are just babes and don't know better and a little drink could make one careless in judgment or in manners Jesus said no greater man than john the baptist was who did not drink , putting him as a prime example of what a role model disciple should be like ,oh let us not forget Lot because of wine he committed incest and his seed was dishonored they are known as the amorites and ammonites but later several generations king David's mother was an amonite or was it amorite but many sins were committed through strong drink but Jesus said the example he loved ,so are we suppose to please the Lord ? I believe it so so be sober minded and filled with the spirit .

please tell me how is it that I am shouting. There are no facial expressions here. No hearing here.
Only reading
It is a common net rule that if you use all capitals or larger letters than anyone else you are shouting. That is what you are doing.

It's quite humourous seeing you push around the word 'context' and then not not using any in your post.

The context is drinking and eating with colleagues, friends, persons who claim to be Christians, but whom you don't think that they are. I'm always suspicions of Christians who claim to have "gay friends." Under the biblical injunction, it would be impossible to have any kind of social relation with any such person who claims to be a "Christian" and let's face it, many of them claim to be "Christians."


But the context will extent to any church that allows homosexuals or divorcees or the greedy rich in its doors, to participate in communion. In such cases, one should not partake of their communion bread or wine.

Oh really? I have non Christian friends, although none of them are gay. You know who else associated with morally undesirables? Jesus.

Luke 7
33For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. 34The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Presumably they don't claim to believe in Jesus Christ, any more than those whom Jesus ate and drank with, who also did not believe in him, or may be they did, but I don't think there were many in the days of Christ who claimed to believe in him, but did not.

For the sort of person who epitomizes the pretend Christian is Judas Iscariot, the betrayer. He had his hand in the till. Today the sort of person who reflects him is often in receipt of tithes or other benefits from the church, but is not entitled to them.

Let's take Barack Obama and David Cameron. They both claim to be Christians, and obtained the vote of many calling themselves Christianis. Yet they spread the heresy that homosexuality is lawful. It would be a sin for any Christian to eat or drink with the same.

Yet I guess though that flesh will be just flesh and be emotional. Which to me is what derails one from truth
