Who's having a beer...

Only the sinners drink the beer.

Real Christians don't put alcohol in the Temple of the Holy Spirit because it's poison and is proven scientifically to be damaging to the body.


Is this a sin?
I sure hope not.

You know it is sinful behavior. That's the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Otherwise you wouldn't be wondering if it was or not.


There is no real PROOF that Jesus resurrected....

Those taking this position are not saved due to unbelief which is choosing to not believe

That's funny.
Jesus drank wine.

You sound like a legalist.
Hope you haven't broken any rules lately.

Oh for goodness sake Big Boy
I was KIDDING.

But, I guess, you're too serious of a Christian for kidding.

Drinking beer is not a sin.
Drinking wine is not a sin.

Getting drunk does do damage to the temple of God.

What is the PROOF that Jesus resurrected.
Proof means 100% certainty.

In which case we would not need faith.

And while you're at it: WHO resurrected Jesus?

Jesus drank wine.

And you cannot prove from scripture that He drank fermented wine.

But you can speculate all you want having no proof which I'm sure you will.

The drunks and the drug addicts always seek to justify their intoxication


You sound like a legalist.

You sound like a false teacher advocating in favor of sinful behavior. Yep!


Drinking beer is not a sin.
Drinking wine is not a sin.

That's what the demons keep telling everyone.


Getting drunk does do damage to the temple of God.

Just like people used to think cigarettes weren't harmful before scientific research proved it is

It has now been proven that ANY amount of alcohol consumption is harmful to the body thru scientific research

It's not been established and proven that alcohol even in small amounts damages the body

But, the drunks and the drug addicts will continue in their sinful behavior not accepting they are defiling their body which is supposed to belong to the Lord not themselves

1 Corinthians 3:16,17
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
If any man destroys the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

defiling the body is destroying the body



What is the PROOF that Jesus resurrected.

The PROOF will be seen once we die.

Those claiming their is no proof will be going south into eternal torment since they have no basis for salvation.

Sounds like you'll be southbound when you die someday.

You might want to turn they around and quick since you are running out of time!

I used to have a friend who claimed Jesus actually drank fruit juice. (They just called it wine.)

The idea that the all powerful, all knowing Creator of the universe doesn’t know the difference between fruit juice and wine, an alcoholic drink, by definition, is laughable.

The word wine in scripture simply means fruit of the vine and doesn't designate whether it's fermented or not.

Other places in scripture that talks about strong drink or otherwise specifies it causes drunkenness is speaking of wine that is fermented.

In ancient times they made a paste out of fermented grapes where they mixed small amounts of this in to water and they called it wine. (most of the water back then was not clean and it was beneficial to put a little fermented grapes in the water to help off set bacterial and germs as it would be today if drinking unclean water)

But, compared to a glass of wine today what they were doing had a very very small amount of alcohol to the point that would take 10 or more glasses of what they were drinking to equal the alcohol content of what a glass of wine today would be.

Just like drinking kombucha today which does have health benefits, but has a very small amount of alcohol due to fermentation.

To get intoxicated one would have to drink probably 15 to 20 servings of kombucha

So what was called wine then is nothing like what we know as wine today.

Back then those ingesting enough "wine" to get intoxicated were either doing so due to following cult activities (to alter their consciousness to get intoxicated) or they were drunks (outcasts of society) just like today where we see people drinking booze and taking drugs for the purpose of intoxication as they are the dregs of society

It has now been proven that ANY amount of alcohol consumption is harmful to the body thru scientific research so armed with this knowledge, real Christians who actually love the Lord knowing they are not their own and have been bought with a price won't be ingesting anything alcoholic now that we know it is damaging to the body

Just like prior to the discovery that smoking cigarettes or cigars damages the body some Christians were smokers - but real Christians don't smoke now since it's proven that smoking damages the body

This is one way we can know who actually loves the Lord and who is determined to do what they please who reject the leading of the Holy Spirit Who never leads anybody to do things that damage the Temple of the Holy Spirit (the body of those who abide in Christ and allow Christ to abide in them)

Oh please...
Welch's wasn't around back then.

What to say to these types?
Nothing.

Wine was translated as wine because it was wine.

Oh. And I'm going to hell for it.

Maybe for a SMALL amount of wine or kombucha...
I'll only have to spend some time in purgatory?
yeah.

I'm Italian and every Italian should know this verse, Deuteronomy 14:26
When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want—cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.

The other member said I was going to hell for drinking beer, I think.
Actually I hate beer.

So I was just being facetious.

Yeah, I'd imagine not since Truth cannot be overcome with lies.


Go have a beer and get into a good mood before you post to persons.

I don't allow demons to lead me to do evil so I won't be altering my mood with toxic substances of any kind like the demon people do.


Oh please...

Before it ferments, it's just grape juice homie.

Enjoy the fruit of your decisions! thumbsup.gif

Hey is that's what the demons are telling you thin that's what you'll believe

FYI, there's no such thing as purkeytory

We're under the New Covenant now bud, so drinking booze with your concubine is sinful behavior


We're all going straight to the hot place!

The smart ones REPENT and set aside intoxicants as to not be deceived and devoured by devils.

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour - 1 Peter 5:8

The slow ones ignore the leading of the Holy Spirit which is based on God's Word and do their own thing walking after the flesh being carnally minded friendly with the world.

It's amazing that some choose to be slow

It's amazing you believe all that, actually it's extreme.

Well it's true.

Those that reject all of God's Word are choosing to be slow and in ignorant.

In other words they don't want to know all of the Truth of God's Word (whole counsel of God)

They instead choose to be cherry pickers who only believe parts of what God says in His Word

I don't reject God's word, how dare you.

So you think Churches who celebrate the Last Supper and drink a bit of wine do sin ?

You hold a very minority view.

Merry Christmas.

I never mentioned you. I just said those that reject God's Word and you identified with that all on your own.

You think it's OK with the Lord to put toxic substances in your body that are proven to be damaging to the body?

Well, it's a minority that find salvation according to Jesus

Matthew 7:14
Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

The majority of churches and preachers these days teach false doctrine and are not on the narrow path that leads to life.

Merry Christmas.

Celebrating "christmas" is not even remotely biblical.

Being thankful Jesus came in the flesh should be a daily thing for real Christians as is being thankful for His resurrection (so called "easter" isn't biblical either)

Feel free to take a stab at showing from scripture where the Lord instructs His people to celebrate christmas or easter for that matter.

These are things man came up with apart from the leading of the Holy Spirit or from scripture.
