    This is one of those issues that we will NEVER agree on. Numerous threads and posts have already shown that.

    I guess my question is, did the SBC make a similar resolution about tobacco?

    I do see how someone could make that claim, but I think it makes more sense if you reverse it . . .

    Alcohol
    Al Cohol
    Al Qohol
    Al Qaeda

    Much more logical IMHO. :tongue3:

    He said this:
    I dont see how you got your opinion of what he said from that statement. He rightly placed the decision on each individual's own conviction.

    Christ died to set us free, why do so many Christians want to stay in bondage?

    Drinking alcohol is neither sinful nor unbiblical. Surely everyone has at one time taken cough syrup and other medicines that includes alcohol.

    Years ago, it was deemed wrong for believers to consume alcoholic beverages. Not because it was alcohol, but because of its association. Christians were more conscious of what image they might send out if they were seen drinking alcohol and in particular the places where alcohol was normally consumed.

    Try downing a beer or three and talking to your booze mate about the Lord Jesus and the change He makes in one's life.

    That is my point...the rest is your choice. I made mine.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Told my husband "They've got another alcohol thing going again."

    His reply: "Wow, they must really love the stuff."

    Wow, another alcohol debate.
    Almost as bad as the Calvinism and Arminian debates.

    There seem to be two sides to this argument.
    The side that says "what does the Bible say" and the side that says "what does society say"

    What does the Bible say:

    Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
    (Isaiah 5:20)

    And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?
    (Judges 9:13)


    The sin is not in drinking or not drinking. The sin is making a law where there is no law. Making something to evil that is not evil.

    So, the sin is when people put the word of society, doctors, statistics etc and make THAT higher than the law of God.
    THAT is the sin.
