Alcohol

<< < (4/8) > >>

Karen:
I said how I feel about alcohol. I once drank alcohol and there where times I got drunk. But the Lord has released me from those infirmitys, those weak things of the flesh. which is a daily dieing to the flesh and letting Him increase in me daily. I have heard a little wine is good for the stomach.For me I dont want any beer or any other alcohol drink. The Lord will deal in each one of use in different ways. But to be apart of the chosen called and to be apart of the first resurrection. I believe that His saints will have to give up smoking, alcohol and any habit that isnt good for His Temple. Thats what I believe Jesus wants for His church. ~Karen~

Kevin:
I am not defending smoking and alcahol by any means. But to be honest and talking about habits, what about the food that we eat. Would that be something that we would have to give up to be part of the first resurrection? If I ate at McDonalds everyday and had a beer once a month or lets say just one a day would that disqualify one from not being in the first resurrection? These are just questions.  What if someone wanted one beer and one hot fudge sundae, what would be the worse. Initially if you were to have just one the hot fudge sundae would be more of a health factor against you than lets say one beer. So my question is where do we draw the line.

Christ in us, our hope of glory.  Spiritual circumcision.  

As I tried to point out before, for me it's about spiritual.  Not serving two masters.  Not serving self, pride, law, but Him/life, spirit, grace.

Zacman:
Hey all,

What an interesting topic that brings out the honesty in so many.

I myself could make many confessions from the years I spent endulging in carnal things.

However, with that said, all is ordained of God.
If you think you are drinking too much, then God is convicting you.
This He may be doing in ways you don't even realize now.
While drinking and becoming closer to God is a topic which would require a very mature group, of which I don't claim to be.
After all, isn't that the goal?

Best regards,
Zacman

Not inherantly.   I think the reason we do anything is the issue.
