    Is the Religious Right in America gunning for you?

    You sound as if you are speaking about ' minor ' children _________ How many minor children do you know who are gluttons and drunks ____________ Notice the son mentioned at Deuteronomy 21:20 is about an 'adult son', a 'grown up son', Not a minor son. A minor child would Not pal around with...

    Drinking and smoking?

    As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I teach not only Bible commands, but Bible principles - that is, principles that guides Christian living. The Bible does not have a set of rules for everything, but it sets out principles that guides us in everything we do. For example, one would not find written...

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    None of those forbid drinking alcohol, only "drunkenness", and that is a subjective concept.

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    The Scriptures you quoted, other than Leviticus, forbid drunkenness, being a drunkard. A person can drink w/o going that far.

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    You are quoting mostly the New Testament, which the Jews don't use as scripture.

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    But you do realize that almost all of the sources you brought are from the NT, which is not scripture in Judaism? The only example from the Jewish Tanach is Leviticus, and if you were to re-read both the verse and the context, you would see that it describes a special situation: That priests are...

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    NT passages don't mean anything to Jews, and alcohol is not forbidden by most Christians. It is explicitly called for at Communion and Paul also writes to take a little wine to help cheer oneself.

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    That's strange though to me because there are places in the Bible that says do not. Galatians 5:19-21 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and...

    Hitchen's Challange

    When quoting scripture one can always find contradictions: Luke5 33Then they said to Him, “John’s disciples and those of the Pharisees frequently fast and pray, but Yours [Jesus disciples] keep on eating and drinking.”

    Hitchen's Challange

    Proverbs 23:20f: Do not mix with winebibbers, or gluttonous eaters of meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags." Isaiah 5:11f: "Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with...

    Do the gospels report that Jesus liked his food and wine with nasty people, sometimes to excess?

    ...... and none of it, any of it, spoken by Jesus. Actions speak louder than words. And yet so many Christians who would make such a fuss about a man enjoying his meat and wine, possibly to excess sometimes, disregard the things that Jesus made much of. It would be better of they quoted...

    Do the gospels report that Jesus liked his food and wine with nasty people, sometimes to excess?

    The "church" has believed that the Lord Jesus Christ "paid attention" to previous prophets. Yes - that is their "dogma" - because it is clearly recorded in the New Testament that He studied and knew the words of the prophets. I get the feeling that you think I claimed that I had difficulty...

    DMX: One Christian's Perspective

    Different people like different music. Rap is not for you but can be great for others.

    DMX: One Christian's Perspective

    Hi Shadow Wolf. Good evening. As you can imagine, I haven't heard much rap music in my lifetime. But you make an observation about such music that rings true at least from what I have heard. Rap music is often complaining and moaning about things that the artist has experienced. Psalm 69:30 says...

    Why can't alcohol be used in cooking?

    And again. Radicalism...

    Why can't alcohol be used in cooking?

    And there are groups of Christians who have the same prohibition. And the Bible says so: “And be not drunk with wine.” [Ephesians 5:18]

    Question about the Holy Spirit being our comforter

    No human on earth knows "what" God is (apart from Jesus).....we only know "who" he is....the Creator of all things that exist. Do we need to know more...could we comprehend it anyway? A deity? Yes.....a "ghost"? Since the word "ghost" is taken from the German word "geist" (as in poltergeist)...

    If you believe

    I know many good people who consume alcohol in moderation, who are in relationship and not married, or who are in same sex relationships. Within that framework they may be just as committed to living a moral life than any follower of a religion. On the other hand both our countries have rates...

    Another Interesting Curiosity of the Baha'i religion

    That is tantamount to blasphemy right there! "Baha'u'llah is the Father"???!!! :facepalm: That is not what Jesus was saying at all.....when he said that the "advocate" (or helper; comforter; encourager) would come, the word rendered “comforter” is "pa·raʹkle·tos" which is used in the Bible to...

    against intelligent creator?

    IMO unless you have a better explanation of how the universe came into being, the fact that it is here is the evidence I accept for the existence of God. I am not using them wrong on your say so.
