It was another wonderful Sunday in
the presence of God. The preaching,
praise and worship segments were
fantastic. Everyone was in high
spirit.

As usual, it got to the discussion (questions & answers) segment and an elderly lady asked a question that drew a hotted debate amongst the audience.

Earlier, the pastor had preached about christians not associating with those who drink or sell alcoholic drinks. According to him, it was against biblical standards to engage in such practice and as such, christians should stay away
from such people to avoid being
drawn into sin.

Thus when the pastor asked for
questions from the audience, this
lady stood up, adjusted her wrapper, focused her fading gaze
on the pastor and put forth her
question saying 'Pastor, you have taught us earlier on to not associate
with those who drink or sell alcohol.
However, if my child happens to
have a shop where she sell many
things including alcoholic drink, and
I visit her and she offers me a bottle of soft drink (coke or malt), knowing that she also sells alcoholic drinks, if I accept this soft drink from her have I committed sin or is it wrong?'

The first thought that came to my
mind when I heard the question
was how difficult it would be to find
a good and true answer to this
elderly lady's question and the
similarly complicated questions that must have been thrown at Jesus
when he was in the world teaching.
I was immediately on high aleart.
Sunday service just more interesting. I quickly took out my pen and paper, ready to note how this lady's tricky question would be
answered. To Be Continued.

If it was you how would you answer her question?

God is not an author of confusion

Will the Church accept donations from someone who drinks alcohol or sells alcohol for a living?

drinking of alcohol is not a sin neither is selling it...Jesus turned water into wine and later turned wine into his blood....just so you know...

Lol the pastor don enter one chance...what was his reply?

Haha, so much for not being a magician.

And you believe such supernatural claims simply because the Holy Bible the Europeans imperials used in brainwashing your forefathers said so, right? Just so you know, since your profile picture has you with a stethoscope on, indicating that you are a doctor, therefore can you please scientifically explain how could a figure called Jesus Christ, whose historicity and true identity still continue to arouse criticism and debates among theologians, archaeologists and historians could have managed to covert H₂0 into wine and finally into blood, bearing in mind that even the alchemists whose era came centuries after that of Jesus Christ, failed to turn base metal to gold using alchemy despite their advanced knowledge of chemicals during their time

i am totally with you on this one, we are on the same page and have the same mind towards his things..i was only taking on the so call christains, you can see the question i asked too.
