And I'm sure your friends will jump in with you and do the same as you lead the charge.

Is that what you're doing? Are your words God's words? I'm not ashamed of what I said. You're all that? That must be why all those others are on your side, believing what you believe. I guess as a weak sheep I need to consider my ways.

Now, why would someone argue so much about drinking as if his life depended on it? It's really not worth that to me. I think you're exposing yourself more than me, but what do I know? I'm just a weak sheep.

So far, I've only mentioned drinking, not drunkeness. Go back & read my posts.

Paul wrote about it because God instructed him to. You are using scripture to defend your drinking & accuse me of twisting scripture? Of couse I'm weak! If Paul admitted it, how can I say otherwise? We're all weak, sheep in the eyes of our Good Shepherd! Don't you know a christian who is weak...

WHO did I judge? God gave us the freedom to drink? This is my problem? I am personally addressing the issue. Someone needs to. I neither dragged nor berated no one. I only try to bend my will to Christ. It's hard enough with mine, let alone everyone else. That standard is not mine, it's God's.

That's real cute, judging me to be judging others. My brother died when he ran off the road & hit a tree. He drank. Should I be offended? Or should I believe it's all right to drink? You had no clue that someone was on here who had been offended before, watching brethren backing their drinking...

1 Corinthians 8 9But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. 10For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are...

Why is that so ridiculous?!? I'm getting the idea that you see how foolish it would be to be seen like that, & if so, I agree with you. You just showed plainly we don't need a bible verse to prove a point. It's just common sense.

Slice it/dice it all you want, but being seen with alcohol is morally questionable at best, thought of as a drunk at worst.

You single men out there, If you're looking for that special someone to spend the rest of your life with, try talking to them with your 6/12 pack/case in your grocery cart. A christian woman wouldn't give you a second look.

Which one of you would drive into the church parking lot with a beer bottle in your hand? A school parking lot? What about a home bible study? Church door knocking? You see, it's more than the bible legalism issue. It's more about "What would Jesus do?" Would Jesus risk alienating the public...

With the scientists stating the stats against it, & all the news about drunk drivers killing people, & even the police can ticket you for a couple of beers, I can't see why so many "christians" want to drink in the first place. In Jesus' day, the water was bad, but today we don't have that excuse.

Thinking on it, though, Jesus created new wine, the wine was just made so probably not alcoholic.

Best wine is the sweetest & new wine is best. It had only begun the process. Whether Jesus made fermented wine, there's no proof at all.

From Biblehub: Topical Encyclopedia Definition and Terminology: In biblical terms, "new wine" refers to freshly pressed grape juice that is in the initial stages of fermentation. The term is often used to symbolize abundance, blessing, and the transformative work of God. In Hebrew, the word for...

The best we can do today is warn the people of the coming evil & preach repentance. We are the watchman on the wall. Get busy blowing the trumpet.

Be the christian woman a good christian man would want & let God pick him out.;)

That's easier said than done to the babes & weak minded who are swayed at every new teaching. That's why Paul tells us to go on to perfection(maturity).

I also believe the captive & oppressed are of a spiritual sort way above the physical. Good point.:)
