1 Cor 10:31 Giving glory to God

Y'all are wasting your time. Any rational person reading this thread would see the continued comments from the thread starter, and see it's all about what he wants to do; and how, not once has he shown how his use of alcohol is glorifying to God. He's only justified it by saying God has given it to us for pleasure--which is a personal reason, not a God-glorifying one.

I'm not saying drinking is wrong. I'm saying the poster is intellectually dishonest with himself, and simply sought out books and writings, and started these threads, to be able to justify what HE wants to do.

Just do it already, and quit trying to get everyone else to say it's okay. The harder you argue for it, the more it indicates this is a personal preference, not a God-glorifying action.

It would be best to withhold further responses, and just let this thread die.

 

The next time you go preaching, preach in front of an ABC store, and ask each person that goes in and comes out with alcohol why they are buying it, lol.

Alcohol is a distortion of what is actually a gift from God, just as hemp used to alter the mind, or, hang a person is.

As I said, self control is the fruit of the Spirit, and it makes little sense that GOd would "gift" us with something so contrary to that which is specifically stated as fruit of the Spirit.

That's it for me in this post unless you want to actually examine the Scripture, as asked of you in the previous post.


God bless.

 

Perfect example of how legalistic you are in this issue. If people don't think your drinking is to the glory of God they must be close minded.
You complain about people forcing their views on you when in reality all they are asking you to do is defend your own viewpoint.
You can't. It's clear you can't when you reject the very same argument for pot that you are making for alcohol.

Not one person in this entire thread has said that you can't drink.

You're missing the point: not everyone who is told "It's okay to use alcohol" will...abstain.

In other words, when you condone alcohol use you are setting people up for addiction, and the horrors associated with addiction.

So what do you say about them?

Now, where is your other "many" Scriptures that condone alcohol use? Where is a response to the address of the one you posted?

Again, I am not forcing my view on you, any more than you are forcing your view on me. I am simply supporting why I hold to my view...time for you to do the same.




God bless.

 

There is soooo much irony in this post. *laugh*

 

God's Glory is PURE LIGHT, completely VOID of darkness.

No, drinking a Pepsi, eating a steak, does nothing to glorify God.

What Glorifies God is to EXALT Him ~ praise, worship, thankfulness, speaking His Word, teaching others of Christ Jesus, inviting others to come hear about Him, answering questions, sparking others interest in Him, showing others How they can be crucified with Christ, How their souls can be restored and saved and How their spirits can become quickened, and How the Lord will come to them.

When a man has done those things, "that" man "overcomes" darkness. That man, becomes "Gods inheritance", which Glorifies God.
