I came here to learn something new, but got high on disappointment.
I don’t know how this empty vessel got into front page, you don’t have any point, not even a valid premise.
Your first point was the beginning and end of your melancholic mediocrity.
So there were no drugs then, and the alcohol prescription was for Timothy alone?
So all the acts in the Bible are for Jews alone?

don’t be st*pid. The Topic was majorly about drunkenness. Whereas a lot of people drink and don’t get drunk.

The fact that the bible proscribes gluttony, does it also proscribe eating?

U take alcohol but don't get drunk or abuse it. I see no prob with it....... It's only wen u get drunk n misbehave, it's totally wrong.


So with this argument we can take weed , opium and cocaine in very minute amounts as long as we don't get high ?

oga you have not said anything. If the OP missed the point, call him to order. Preaching against drinking is a fallacy. Preaching against drunkenness is supposed to be the case. Whoever had kidney problems or whatever was an habitual/chronic DRUNK.

The poor guy has probably never read a single historical text. I guess he depends solely on the bible for everything which in itself is rather dangerous.

Otherwise, he would have been privy to the fact that modern-day pharmaceutical and medical practises owe a great deal to the Greek and Roman civilizations.

It is people like him who complicate issues by feeding people with trash and I am glad that somebody else is pointing his blunder to him like I did a while ago.

It's so unfortunate that many of these guys lack formal education yet they go around preaching nonsense. The first point rubbished the whole write-up.

Drinking kills ur kidney whether u get drunk or not...u wld say I no a man that drinks and he lived up till 90 years...knw something nw..the world currently is polluted frm the air to the food we eat, the kidney is responsible for taking care of this toxins from the food to the water we drink and nw ur stressing it by the alcohol u take, telling me I Dnt get drunk....u r a fool. Whether u get drunk or not ur kidney wld suffer the consequence.. Go the the hospital and see people on queue for kidney transplant.. U joke with ur health..

You told us why Christians shouldn't be drunk.You haven't told us why Christians shouldn't drink.Personally,I don't believe Christians should drink alcohol because I believe true Christianity shouldn't be about how close one can be to the line without crossing it but how far away one can stay from crossing the line.Yes,the Bible says drunkeness is a sin,why don't you avoid it altogether?If we're talking about health benefits, those nutrients can also be found in other foods.

as a Christian I believe taking wine is not s sin rather drunkenness is. That was why Peter advised him to take a little for his ailment. Jesus turned water to wine because traditionally , they take wine in their festivities . with that regards, taking wine for relaxation is not a sin.

I guess you can't read, right

Or are you trying to do a sort of damage control for the misfiring OP?

Look at the heading, it sums the whole bloody thing up.

It says:

"7 Reasons Why Christians Should STOP Taking Alcohol"

As against:

Why Christians Should Take Alcohol With Moderation.

Can you see the difference now?

everything was wrong. Christians should not stop alcohol intake. Instead it should have been “Christians MUST flee from drunkenness”.

Besides his writeup was as if “drinking” is sinful.

I am telling you what you don’t know. There is no way moderate drinking will affect your organs. Moderate drinking on the other hand helps the longevity of your vital organs.

Oga OP please come and explain verse 26

Deuteronomy 14:22-26


22 Set apart a tithe of all the yield of your seed that is brought in yearly from the field. 

23In the presence of the Lord your God, in the place that he will choose as a dwelling for his name, you shall eat the tithe of your grain, your wine, and your oil, as well as the firstlings of your herd and flock, so that you may learn to fear the Lord your God always. 

24But if, when the Lord your God has blessed you, the distance is so great that you are unable to transport it, because the place where the Lord your God will choose to set his name is too far away from you, 

25then you may turn it into money. With the money secure in hand, go to the place that the Lord your God will choose; 
26spend the money for whatever you wish—oxen, sheep, wine, strong drink, or whatever you desire. And you shall eat there in the presence of the Lord your God, you and your household rejoicing together

I have told you what you needed to hear. As usual you don’t have a thing to say. A bottle of beer a day is good. Do your research and thank God(not me) later.

Not everybody that drinks does the 17 botttles or 2 crates thingy. Naaaaa!
