Enjoy your thread PP... looks like you got what you wanted and I hope you are happy! Yea it hurt... whoever it was you did a good job!

AG, I don't that's fair. PP creating a thread didn't cause someone else to be ugly. They did it all on their own.

I think it was mainly started to attack me..... Based on something I didn't say. And then when it was corrected, the initial assumption was "too important" to let go.

Miss Bratt

If it aids with the apparent contradiction. John says they were "well drunk".

Most Bible commentators agree that this is not the lost of senses type drunk one would usually associate with the word. The host was implying you don't save the best beverage for last after everyone has pretty much eaten and "drunk" their fill.

While it is also entirely reasonable to assume some were indeed drunk, I prefer the first and majority view.

You people disgust me sometimes.

It's one thing to allow ANYONE, including backsliders, to post here at will. Admin has been very kind in that regard.

Another entirely to openly tolerate, revel in, and promote sin. BTW, drunkenness IS sin. Admin shouldn't be required to put up with that garbage.

The whole "it's cool to be a backslider and promote my wickedness on AFF" thing is a little out of hand.

Well let's see ... RW .... who is the backslider and who are the so-called Christians and supposed preachers?

as for not addressing your post .... it's based on opinion and not sound scripture.

Which one?

*BUMP* for Daniel.

Here's another one: the Bible forbids habitual drunkenness, but not the occasional indulgence for celebrations such as weddings. There is a night-and-day difference between the angry, mean drunk who abuses his family and the loud, silly partier who's just having a good time with other wedding guests. (And not driving!)

Hey, it's just a theory!

Thats what I have been trying to say.

The one that mistakenly claimed Western culture doesn't know how to handle it's liquor .... I thought Europeans, note wine drinkers, were part of WESTERN CULTURE?

I think both are sad.
