Yale9:
well, is alcohol intake illegal?

It is not. That's why the only other way to deter people is tell them it is a sin

Wise and logical people understand that the bible's body language is such to discourage abuse of substance of any nature

well, tell idiots that. Not me. Have u read deutronomy 14 16?

Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.

Bery good. Now read verse 26

How does this condone alcohol amongst devout Christians? Many of these people didn't even quite understand Christianity yet.

1 Corinthians 11:18-22 New International Version (NIV)

18 In the first place, I hear that when you come together as a church, there are divisions among you, and to some extent I believe it. 19 No doubt there have to be differences among you to show which of you have God’s approval. 20 So then, when you come together, it is not the Lord’s Supper you eat, 21 for when you are eating, some of you go ahead with your own private suppers. As a result, one person remains hungry and another gets drunk. 22 Don’t you have homes to eat and drink in? Or do you despise the church of God by humiliating those who have nothing? Certainly not in this matter!

Taking alchohile for supper is the norm here but despising those that have not their offence, they should have shared with one another.

ameri9ja:


Support whatever u wish. Just realize that "moderate" is relative. Many people are incapable of moderate as you define it. What is moderate for u may not be moderate for them. Just accept that u r all equally sinners only redeemable through Grace.

Do bible force everybody to drink?
Drinking is a choice that's if you need it, that people do marry doese not mean that everybody should marry as a must.

That everybody doese not eat meat doese not make those eating meat sinners its a choice.

Timothy was advise to take alchogolic as medicine so it is a medicine too.

ameri9ja:


U r not questioning God. U r questioning yourself.
Just as u question yourself as to why u do some stupid stuff u do.

Gollier than God stop condemning alchoholic.

You can't rewrite the bible.
