Let's all post about how much we used to toke, smoke, and inject!!!!!

I mean, hey, the bible doesn't prohibit that either.

More hysterics. When you can show me that the bible condemns a man for liking wine then we'll have a rational conversation.

ok dan that is fine and no one can argue that alcohol is not damaging to people, but i believe the wine or whatever they drank in the bible times was far different than what is available now, you keep believing what you want bro but i will spend the rest of my life trying to help people avoid ruining there lives by drinking, dt

What does the bible say about marijuana, cocaine, lsd, crack?

Lets' all talk about how fun those things are.

In moderation, of course.

Before logging out of this thread ...

I will reiterate that we all feel and empathize for those who have suffered the trauma of alcoholism ... it should not be confused w/, however, the sin of getting drunk .... or confused w/ the comments about the effects of alcohol stated in the thread in question.

But to castigate others for conclusions made in one person's minds is ... well fill in the blanks ....

Peace out.

pp i agree with you on this, i have never touched drugs, done them, or been under the influence, of anything except the spirit of christ and my own will but my brain works too, lol, that would tell the reasoning among us to avoid that stuff and alcohol, dt

Key difference ... Jesus didn't turn water into a spliff, my theological scholar friend. Nor did Paul advise Timmy to freebase.

Read your bible.
