Quest7777:
I was discussing with a fellow Christian on the issue of alcohol. We both agreed that on its own, taking alcohol is not a sin but it is not wise because of danger of drunkenness, addiction & causing a fellow believer to fall in faith.

We also agreed a true Christian should not own a beer parlour or shop. But we could not agree on:

*Should a true Christian work in Accounts department of Nigeria Breweries? What about the Sales/Distribution department?
A Christian shouldn't work at all for food that perishes - John 6 vs 25 - 33 undecided

Surely, The Lord made wine and spirits but, every reasonable person knows they have their places exactly as a reasonable person knows not to eat or have sex during working hours in the office.

So, it is a case of "all labour is good" unless and when your heart doth condemn you.

But I have seen that God does not let His Children get such jobs exactly as His children who are Lawyers do not get Divorce and certain types of not-good Briefs even though they are lucrative and people say that there is nothing bad in them.

But God does not accept any small bad at all. Holiness and Guiltlessness is His Way and Standard.

And when you are His, He clearly Leads, so whatever your way, know that it is a very good way, BUT THIS IS ONLY IF THE LORD IS IN DEED YOUR SHEPHERD!

Is Jesus Christ not the Standard by which all Christians are to live - the Word out of God's own mouth? undecided

He said His followers are not to work at all for food that spoils... John 6 vs 25 - 33... so why are you here telling Christians to go against the standard set for them by Jesus Christ? undecided

A Born again Christian shouldn't work where alcohol is produced, however a born again recently got a chieftaincy title, and he was applauded even by those whom would tell you not to attend family or village meeting as a Christian grin

Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22 is where we read of God's curse that man work hard for his food - everything in this here world perishes - until the day he dies. undecided

Jesus Christ instructed His followers to no longer work for food that perishes but instead instead food/treasure that endures to eternity which only He can give them. - John 6 vs 25 - 33 undecided

Jesus Christ told you He would take care of you if you will Trust and Obey Him. undecided
25 “So I tell you, don’t worry about the things you need to live—what you will eat, drink, or wear. Life is more important than food, and the body is more important than what you put on it.
26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant, harvest, or save food in barns, but your heavenly Father feeds them. Don’t you know you are worth much more than they are?
27 You cannot add any time to your life by worrying about it.

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? Look at the wildflowers in the field. See how they grow. They don’t work or make clothes for themselves.
29 But I tell you that even Solomon, the great and rich king, was not dressed as beautifully as one of these flowers.
30 If God makes what grows in the field so beautiful, what do you think he will do for you? It’s just grass—one day it’s alive, and the next day someone throws it into a fire. But God cares enough to make it beautiful. Surely he will do much more for you. Your faith is so small!

31 “Don’t worry and say, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’
32 That’s what those people who don’t know God are always thinking about. Don’t worry, because your Father in heaven knows that you need [b]all these things.
33 What you should want most is God’s kingdom and doing what he wants you to do. Then he will give you all these other things you need. [/b]
34 So don’t worry about tomorrow. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Tomorrow will have its own worries. - Matthew 6 vs 25 - 34

If Jesus Christ had come in our time instead of 2000 years ago, would you have found Him more believable or something? undecided
