Spurgeon said this: What a strange mixture man is! and a godly man is the strangest conglomerate of all. He is a beast and yet continually with God. View him from one side, he is ignorant: view him from the other, and he hath an unction from the Holy One and he knows all things. View him from...

It is amazing how far we have slid backward. Spurgeon preached against people going to the theater which in his day was just a play. So you mentioned lottery tickets, would that mean you are all for gambling ? Do some of you people not have any morals at all ? If you promote drinking and...

The subject of drinking alcohol should be put in a forum all by itself just like the cal/arm subject. Both subjects seems to cause division every time it is mentioned.

I will be honest and say a lot of my post on this subject of drinking was to add fuel to the fire because I know how you guy's that drink get all bent out of shape when someone rebukes you for your vise. The truth is, there is no unrighteousness in Jacob. If we are saved God views us in Christ...

A man convinced against his will, is a man still unconvinced.

I ask no apologies from hot heads that always come to the board with a bully attitude and if they do apologize to anyone it is because they have been taken to the wood shed or their trying to save face. Preachers get in the pulpits every Sunday and take the word of God and twist it to suit their...

Once a preacher got up in the pulpit to preach to his congregation using the text, Be sure your sin will find you out, Numbers 32:23. As there were a mixed multitude that day consisting of backsliding Christians and souls that had never been saved there was quite a stir and anger was on their...

The abusers I am talking about don't drink wine. I drink wine at communion services. The people I am talking about drink moonshine whiskey 100% proof and can drink a gallon of beer all day without much effect. The temperance movement was about whiskey drinkers for the most part and their abuse...

Most everyone on here at one time has been accused of taking scripture out of context or twisting scripture or proof texting by others when the point they are making is disagreeable to them. Cal/Arm topics are a good illustration. Do what you want, believe what you want and drink what you want...

It's a proven fact alcohol in olden times is not the same as it is today. Same way with tobacco. You say, use and handle the word correctly. I say, All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 11 Tim...

A few years down the road after the government legalizes pot will people be on here trying to convince others there is nothing wrong in smoking in moderation. Some people will not turn loose of the world.

I don't understand you saying, They don't control me yet you had to get help with your drinking problem.

What I am implying to is if a person saved or un-saved continues to drink there is a line they will cross where the alcohol will control them. Prov 6:27-28 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned ? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned ? Same thing with...

If it is not true tell me how it is not true.

webdog, how does the Holy Spirit makes sure one is not controlled by alcohol ?

This is debatable. Once years ago when I was working in corrections soft drinks were a dime apiece in the machine. I worked second shift and at a certain time of the evening I would drink a couple of Pepsi's. After so long at this habit I found that I was addicted to the sugar. I was telling my...

I know of a church that the pastor insisted that every child under four years old be in the nursery. I have seen the pastors wife go to visitors with children under four and tell them she would take their child to the nursery. Guess what ? all this changed when the pastor and his wife became...

After reading all the post of the drinking crew it seems like I detect some what of bragging in their post. Pride wears many faces. I do not have to go to scripture to prove the evils of drinking out weighs the good. I had nineteen aunts and uncles and many of them found an early grave because...

How much education does it take to preach the gospel ? I am one that is persuaded that one has to be saved and called of God to start with and if one only has the bible and nothing else he can be led and taught by the Holy Spirit unto all truth. I have nothing against education, I believe those...

When I was in Arminianizm we had revivals usually in the summer months. The sermons were always about Christian duty. At the end of the revival if someone made a confession, church members would stand up and testify to the glory of the church that the Lord heard THEIR prayers, or language like...
