This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

That says it all right there. Thanks.For John the Baptist came neither eating nor drinking and you said look, he is possessed by a demon. And the son of man came eating and drinking, and you said look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of sinners. But wisdom is proven right by all her children.
See this is what gives holiness movements a bad name.----------

What do you make of this?It appears that Jesus may have drunk wine, but it's also believed that the alcohol content was much lower in their wine compared to nowadays; one should do their own research. But, for sure, Jesus did not get drunk.
Thing I’ve always found interesting is the water he transforms to wine is in the pots all the guests had previously washed their hands in.What do you make of this?
John 2:10 NIV
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine
after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
Interesting indeed. Winemakers take note.Thing I’ve always found interesting is the water he transforms to wine is in the pots all the guests had previously washed their hands in.
I responded:It appears that Jesus may have drunk wine, but it's also believed that the alcohol content was much lower in their wine compared to nowadays; one should do their own research. But, for sure, Jesus did not get drunk.
How do we know when the guests have had too much to drink?What do you make of this?
John 2:10 NIV
and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine
after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
What should we infer about alcohol content?
I’d say Judaism.Here's another one to consider. What was John not eating, or drinking?
Matthew 11:18-19 NIV
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say,
‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
But wisdom is proved right by her deeds.”
Eating and drink Judaism? ???I’d say Judaism.
Why would they call Jesus "a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners" for that?Yeah, Jesus somewhat participated in their religious delusions, for a little while.
Probably belongs to one of these cult religions like JW that ban those sorts of things and call them sinful.Hope you grow out of this pharisaical spirit you have!
You do not even know what pharmakeia means in the original and cultures the word derives from. It was used by oracles and wizards to contact the spirit world by altering their consciences.
Carbonated soft drinks? Really?
Medications were given to man by God for the purpose of healing. And even the4 psychotropics when under a physicians care can be a life saving therapy. When one has suffered physical trauma to the brain, various antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds can resote teh chemical balance in the brain. I am not talking the heavy duty ones like Haldol, Thorazine etc. but things like atavan, effexor. also, when one has undergone deep emotional truama, a temporary therapy of these mild meds can help them cope with the severe trauma until they can regain control.
Load of rubbish. It is the attachment to desire that is sin. Not desire itself. Addiction is considered sin where as simply using something is not.----------
