No thank you.

I agree and if I know someone has an issue I will not drink in front of them. But I am not going to stop drinking because there are people in the world that have issues. Like I said that concept is faulty because it can put you in a closet.

Now don't give up that easy! I say there is no such thing as Christian legalism. No reason to redefine it, it never existed. So what say you......

No that is not what I am saying. I am saying you should be considerate....within reason. If I know for a fact that someone has an issue I will adjust my behavior. But no I am not going to accommodate all the issues of the world.

Romans 5:21 But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested being witnessed by the Law and the prophets. Romans 4:14 For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified. Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are...

@Desire Of All Nations 613 Mosaic Laws....go learn them and you can come back and you will then be able to explain to me why Paul was against having them in Christianity. Circumcision was an issue because it was the entry into Judaism and an obligation to keep the whole law. Again...and again...

I love chasing women through the woods but at 64 most get away.

No it is not a dumb argument. Sugar can kill a diabetic...usually faster than alcohol. The focus on one thing is narrow minded. So many issues out there. And the topic here is not about alcohol abuse or any abuse. The thing is if you do not want to drink...all good. If you want to give up...

Do you chase girls through the woods too?

Again you will never know. It isn't just alcohol that people have problems with. If you tried to accommodate everyone over every possible issue, you would end up living in a closet....and then you have people like me being offended because you are not doing the Lord's will.

Well it depends on what denomination or church you go to. The don't doers religion is very common. Even here on this forum if you speak of doing good there will be some that rise up in arms....a Christian forum where doing good is not liked? Seems a little sad.

We can apply this to most anything....including ice cream. A lot of calories in that ice cream and we may be tempting someone that has issues with calories or sugar or lactose. Listening to conservative radio a lady was saying that eating chocolate chip cookies was a sin. As far as drinking...

Until God gives us a crystal ball we cannot know a lot of things and we will not be held accountable. A lady wearing a long dress missed a spot and a guy seeing the skin of her ankle goes hog wild and runs out and rapes someone. She is not going to be held accountable. Too many people with...

The truth will set you free. Boldly march off smartly and do good. The issue with drinking is one of many. 2000 years of competition as to who is holier. I am holier than you because I don't do this! No! I am holier than you because I do not do that! Before long Christianity became the lazy...

Keep it a secret...that is funny. It would cause more problems than it helps. Paul talked about being considerate of the weakness of others, and I agree within reason. But people have so many problems with so many things that it would be impossible to know or even keep up with all of them...

What is that on your arm? asked Fred. It's alcohol spots. Said George. Colossians 2:16 "Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day—" Matthew 15:11 "It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but...

If someone wants to obtain from alcohol, that their choice, but you really cannot make it into a religious argument. As far as the logical aspect, you do not want to tell someone to stop eating to keep from being a glutton. We have talked about man-made sins on several threads. Over the years...

First off you need to get the "the Law" out of your head because it has nothing to do with Christians. The Jews are Jews and the Christians are Christians. So the Mosaic Law is not part of the discussion. We are talking about legalism and there is no such thing as Christian legalism. No that is...

Again we or no one is talking about being saved by works or deeds! It is another distraction from the truth. The topic is about legalism and there is no such thing as Christian legalism. Can you reword this?

Saying nothing of the kind. We are not Jews. This argument was settled in 50 ad at the first Christian council in Jerusalem. Paul spent a good part of his ministry fighting against people that wanted to bring Judaism and the Law into Christianity. The morals that Christ and the Apostles are...
