You attacked John MacArthur in a previous post, but he himself argues your point. However IFB are not teaching another gospel, they are just legalistic in some areas.

That's like saying fundamentalists are not teaching another Gospel they are just teaching another Gospel in some ways.

Buzz is not drunk.

Sure it is.....dont believe me, then get a buzz & then go over to a cop shop & ask for a Breathalyzer test. Tell me what they tell you.

So what moron on EARTH ENCOURAGES a weaker brother to DRINK?!!?

You do by this very post. You think your cute by saying a buzz isnt an altered state on the way to a full drunk.... Please, whats your freakin problem. What kinda arse backwards analogy is " like removing your coat" ..... Grow the Frig up. People that drink have real problems & your treating this like a contest between DHK, Rev, Arron & yourself and you gotta take all the marbles, right. Well dont work like that. Have some compassion for these people & develop some humility & if you got the balls to survive alcoholism then use that survival mechanism to help others.

You know what, your attitude sucks & you better change it before God changes it. Until then, go take a flying leap for yourself.

 

[Luke2427]

Now there's the spirit. Lead a little secret life of fleshly indulgence. It's a gift from Gawd! :laugh:

Drinking in moderation is the OPPOSITE of indulgence.

I should not have to tell you that.

And it is no secret if you share it with all those who are not weaker brethren.

Besides, the Proverbs reminds us "The FOOL utters all his mind..."

There is nothing commendable about blurting out everything you do.

Again, I should not have to tell you this stuff. I have to feed you milk when you ought to be eating meat by now.

Yes, early to middle. He was the first that came to my mind. I haven't had the time to look up many others.

No, no.

I contended that almost NO Christians condemned drinking alcohol in moderation before the middle of the nineteenth century and you provided Barnes who condemned it in the MIDDLE OF THE 19TH CENTURY!!!

It is like debating a child.

Here is what I contend. Teetotalism is ignorant in the highest degree. People who preach it can hardly SPELL exegesis and don't have the SLIGHTEST exegetical support for it and if they did couldn't provide it because they don't know the first thing about hermeneutics.

I contend that movements that preach it are ignorant movements led by largely uneducated pastors.

I contend that it is extrabiblical doctrine on the same vein with KJVO and is thus Pharisaical heresy.

I could go on.

I could go on.

You usually do. I tire of it. :sleeping_2:
