To be fair if Paul were preaching today he would be tossed out of churches and stoned to death by about 98.748358732185631% of our churches. :laugh:

OK this is off thread, however I have a question kinda related to alcoholism. I support the AA Program that works (the famous step programs) to get an alcoholic to abstain & then to manage his/her life. Why doesn't the Baptist Church support AA?

TS: Are you sure you got the correct significant digit on your statistic?
As I recall, 37.3 % of all statistics are made up

Hello EWF:
just wanted you to know, I am actually reading a book by a "reformed theologian" and at present enjoying every moment of it. Surprised?
I'm totally not knowledgeable about AA but don't they have some stuff that's semi-religious that's not quite compatible with Christianity? I know our church has it's own recovery ministry for alcoholics and drug addicts and it's been very good from what I understand.
Surprised.....no. Your an intelligent man & you can read. Knowledge is vital to intellect. Who is the author & what is the title & premise of the book?

Hello.....Uh....my....uh...name...is...Thinkingstuff...and i'm a soda aholic...Can't seem to stop...So here I am....
What is Molinism?
If AA does Ann, Im not aware of it. My wifes group reads from scripture & prays together...glad you have a recovery ministry. God's blessing on that.
LOL - I was thinking the same thing. When I posted that when I drank, I maybe had 3 drinks a month, I was realizing that I do about the same with soda. I need to not drink too much soda so I try to limit it to one a week. I fill in the rest with seltzer, especially if we're out.

Where did you get that?
At this point I think the more problematic addiction around here is for some of ya'll who keep posting incessantly in these alcohol threads.
I have that question out to my dermatologist
Soda! .... why, thats nasty stuff....but you have come to the right place. Just so happens I'm an expert in all addictions & I have this new book out...."How to Cure yourself The Marine Corps Way"....cured allot of folks & sent some to the hospital......Anyway normally it's $25.00 + shipping & handling ...... But for you (you sick soda aholic) its 19.99 if you act today! BUT WAIT! Blah, Blah, Blah :wavey:

Sounds like the same guy who a psychiatrist on that giaco insurance commericial.
AA is non-commital when it comes to god. He's generic as far as they are concerned as an overall organization. A door knob can be your higher power as far as they are concerned. You may be sober but your door knob god will only land you in hell sober. But, that doesn't mean that a church can't use the twelve steps while emphasizing Jesus as Lord.
