its easy to keep doing the things you are comfortable with, and many of those things we hate but we do them anyway because they are comfortable or are all we know. It's hard to quit doing the things that are comfortable,some people have the counterproductive tenancy of spending too much time closed up indoors away from other people on the computer or watching shows. (I can be like that) and its comfortable but not necessarily fun. The more you choose to overcome the more freedom you get. The more you listen to God's Word and do it, the more freedom you get. and if you become a slave to what God wants then you will become free from what is bad for you. We have to make those choices every day.
Sure. Jesus drank wine. Theres nothing wrong with it unless your a alcoholic. Or a alcoholic is around you.
Now if we are going to make laws about drinking coffee, why don't we bring all the laws back into effect??
At what point is the blood of Jesus ever going to be enough??
If you were feeling guilty about certain things then of course the Lord would guide you to help you.
We are not to make others feel guilty about things right??
If your brother does this and you don't then don't make him feel bad. If someone wants to not eat pork so be it. If he does so be it.
I know a pastor who basically told his church that if they were fat they were going to hell. From a fat pastor who had a fat wife and fat kids.
I think more time needs to spent on feeling people up with the love of God. God has been showing me people are broken to pieces. Their souls are smased down to the ground. He wants us to lift people up and fill them with Gods love. First we must be love.

Romans 6:16-18
Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
17But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. 18Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness.
When we fully understand these verses, then truly, what Jesus did for us will be immeasurable! For even the righteous muslim who has obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine that was delivered to him, being made free from sin, became a servant of righteousness! How good is our God!

When I was in rebellion, the enemy of God, He extended his mercy and I rejected Him. He continued to extend His mercy and when I was betrayed by the Great Betrayer and by my own sinful nature, I call out in desperation. He lifted me out of darkness and brought me into His marvelous light. He freed me from my demons and restored my sanity. I committed myself to serve Him, son though I may be, in greater fashion than I ever did my former masters. I have served Him for almost thirty-seven years and He has been faithful in His mercy and grace. I will serve Him, though I am an adopted son, for as long as I have breathe.
