Look buster, If you were a lost man rather then a "professing" Christian I would be a little more polite.
Since you haven't been particularly polite to since you registered for a BB account, I won't be looking for any change in posting style from you.
I don't know if you are just willingly ignorant or just untaught. It makes no difference if you have one drink or three it WRONG for a Christian and will damage your testimony.
Says who? Scripture certainly does not say that, not in the most liberal stretch. But you need to make up your mind. First you were insisting that drinking is a sin, and now that you've been challenged with scripture, you're backpeddling with the old "well, it's not a sin, but it's bad witness" bait-and-switch. In fact, scripture is abundantly clear that alcohol consumption, in and of itself, is permissible. I used it in a permissible manner that did not in any way affect my Christian witness. You're welcome to ask the three other Baptists, two Calvareans, and one Dutch Reformer, who was there at the Easter gathering. And before you come off with the "just because they're [insert denomination here] doesn't mean they're Christians" cop out, I can attest with 100% assuredness that those 6 people are saved.
For you people to care more for your pleasure than your testimony raises some serious questions.
With the exception of infusing your man-made doctrine into the scenario, you have not been able to demonstrate an occurrance of putting pleasure over testimony.
I will not be giving you people any more Scripture.
Since you've given none that support your view, that should not be any different.
All you do is mock the verses I give you.
No mocking, just refuting of your manmade doctrine. And even there, it is mostly your own comments are self-evident to that fact.
Why don't you take my challenge and go to "Baptist on line" with your misconceived ides about Christians drinking liqueur?
DOn't evenknow what "baptist online is". And I don't care frankly. If they believe consumption of alcohol is a sin all the time, they're ignorant of scripture.
