Leftists want people dead. That's why every left-controlled city is a crime and drug ridden hellhole, without exception, decade after decade.

Change my mind.

For =/= to For =/= about For =/= do

1. Peter wasn't talking to or about you (Gal 2:2-9). 2. Paul, your apostle, says those in Christ are already perfect in Him (Col 2:10), but only because of His perfection and because - thank God - flesh profits nothing. The only thing TBD for the saved is assessment of their service to Him on...

*sigh* I'm out.

Under grace, the Mosaic Law does not exist for those dead by the Cross and now alive in Christ. They are at liberty to drink (with self control) if their conscience allows it because Paul nowhere issued a blanket prohibition. If one's conscience won't allow it, they are free not to drink. But...

Agreed. What about when he didn't advise elders not to drink, only not to drink too much?

Good, I have your attention. I don't think you answered this: Paul advised Timothy to drink wine, and stipulated that elders not be not given to MUCH wine. Paul never told anyone not to drink alcohol under any circumstance, as you're advising. Is Paul guilty of sin in this? You have an...

The Law has a place in the life of the Christian?

Could go either way. Depends on if a lost person is already conscience-stricken and convicted of their sin. Some are, some aren't.

When he advised Timothy to drink wine and stipulated that elders not be not given to much wine...did Paul sin?

Did Paul sin?

That does not answer the question. Do you think it sin to drink any amount of alcohol?

Didn't say you were. I said you're speaking where God hasn't. No one here disagrees with that. It's very clear in the Bible. Do you not see the disconnect there? Maybe this will help: Do you believe that any amount of ingested alcohol, no matter how small, causes intoxication?

No one is saying there isn't risk, recklessness, etc, just as there is with overeating (gluttony). The question is, Is God displeased when someone drinks at all, even without becoming anywhere close to drunk? If He were, the Bible would be unmistakably, consistently clear on the point. But...

So drunkenness is the Devil's fault?

Paul is the apostle sent by God to us. Paul could have said, don't ever drink at all. He didn't.

Does getting to Heaven depending on not touching the stuff? Tell the truth.

Anyone who wants to see children sexualized either wants to have sex with children or wants to see children having sex. Anyone who knowingly supports those who are working to sexualize children wants the same. Provide a rationale alternative motivation for their actions that refutes the above.

This aligns with Disney now doing away with use of the terms Ladies, Gentlemen, Boys and Girls. Regimes can't direct people's thoughts and behaviors without controlling their language--not just their access to means of communication but their range of vocabulary, as words inform and reflect...
