Drug money rules the world. It is high time governments around the world legalise narcotics.

Kobojunkie:
1. But God did not abolish any set of rules to begin with.

2. Did Jesus Christ ever say anything like "believe in His death and sacrifice"?

3. Jesus Christ Himself said that only those who obey His Commands are those who love Him. Clearly, those who disobey or sin against Him are those who do not belong to Him - those slated for eternal damnation. ki

Sorry but the old covenant has been done away with,that was why Jesus came.

Lolz

Bezos was just a poor average guy for two years even after they got married

They started Amazon at around 1996 but they didn't make any serious profit until around 2006

So that means she stayed with the guy and supported him for about a decade before money started rolling in

You guys should go do your homework..stop assuming that she only married him for the money, got what she wanted and abandoned him.....

As I said earlier, the guy was a poor/average man when they did their wedding.....she wasn't a gold digger... she was a great supporter and that is what most Nigerian women can't do...most of them can't endure

They are seeking quick money to buy iPhone 12

They don't take their eyes to the future

I respect McKenzie Scott because of her decision, she served..looked ahead and got rewarded


And for those redpillers: do your research too...stop calling Jeff Bezos a beta male, he isn't and was never was, stop coming to display your ignorance here...after all the man will continue to remain better and better and better than u even in your second, third and fourth lives, you won't achieve what he did

#Peace

This fake pastor looter again, alcohol that God forbid this one come dey quote bible verses here. Wonder shall never end

Wierdceo:
That part where he said "God created alcohol to gladen the hearts of men" really got me laughing hard. I like this man o.

jesusjnr2020:
Don't stress yourself much about the guy. He is obviously not saved but just someone who knows the letters and tries to use it to justify his works of iniquity as the Pharisees were very well known for.

Thanks.

"Drinking alcohol is not a sin. Drunkenness is a sin. It is unscriptural to preach against alcohol. Wine is drunk even in heaven (Matt 26:29). Wine is medicinal (1 Tim 5:23). In fact, Psalm 104:15 says God created wine to gladden the hearts of men.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The way and manner some people interpret bible this is amazing, some do it to suit their condition while some do it mislead others. For example this Matthew 26:29 didn't mention wine but ...fruit of the vine... (KJV (i) although some of us may say that wine is from the fruit... i.e. fruit without alcohol. We have wine that contain alcohol in different percentage, so when you want to convince people please to make it clear not given people have baked bread to eat just to satisfy yourself. (ii) 1Tim 5:23 Yes you are right wine is medicinal but wine without alcohol. Moreover please Mr Omokri please always study your bible very well before you quote it out for people, please I beg you in the name of God, you must know the story behind the verses you want to quote and also ask Holy Spirit to guide you very well before you quote any verse, because you can use it to mislead some people and even people that are not christian or bible scholar, so I challenge you to go back and read your Concordance, Dakes, Strong and Bible Comentary if you have any of these, so as to know the story behind each verses of the bible. because wine should be used as a help, and not a hindrance to our work, life and usefulness. (iii) [i]Psalm 104:15" And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine and bread which strengthen man's heart" the bible says "WINE" not wine with 1% alcohol not to talk of alcohol, please stop using bible verse to mislead people and blindfolding them away from the truth... Doing this is leading people astray and God will not be happy with you. So stop it.

joshmee4real:
Good. So follow in the ways of Jesus. Thats the origin of the word CHRISTIAN (Christ Like)

comrChris:
Many read the bible but only few understand it
Many people are trying to force the bible say what it did not say just to please themselves.
The bible is a progressive revelation, the measure of your relevance in the kingdom of God is your ability to grow beyond "THOU SHALL" to "YOU SHALL"
Stop applying logic in serving God, you will just be making mockery of yourself.
Alcohol is bad and it's a sin, it hinders you from serving God effectively

mediaX:
At the last supper, wine was used, the apostles drank. At the wedding feast at Canaan wine also was used, the guests drank. As a matter of fact, born from proven historical Jewish study, wine formed an integral part of merriment in ancient Jewish culture, a culture the messiah was king of. And those who argue that wine doesn't in all cases mean 'alcoholic wine' are ignorant. Cause wine in itself, and the reason it is called wine in the first instance is because of fermentation. If fermentation didn't take place it is not wine. And it is fallacy 'petitio principii' to say wine is destructive simply because it is alcoholic. Jesus and his Jewish heritage drank wine for cultural reasons, as it formed a huge part of their culture at the time.

Let me digress a bit, so many things can impair judgment, not only alcohol. Prolonged hunger and self denial of food by itself could impair consciouness and any sane human's judgement yet fasting is never termed sin in christian scripture. Gluttony also is sin when you look at it, as detailed by christian scripture, but not the food in itself, rather the inordinate attachment to food and the greed that fuels such attachment.
Man can get attached to anything, when the usage is abused. And any inordinate attachment is a violation of the freedom of the will, that is what makes it sin. You no longer hold direct control over your decisions. The same way most people are addicted to hustling for money that they neglect time for their children and family: that is sin.

Again, have you wondered why there are different doses for children, adults and pregnant women on medical prescriptions? That goes to tell you that equal measurements do not impact equally in people's bodies. There are no one-size-fit-all definition of tolerance, as tolerance levels differ from individual to individual. 5 pints might make Enoch drunk, but it would require 8 to make Chris and David drunk. So technically Enoch gets the refreshment and no loss of consciouness so long he doesn't go beyond his body limit. And if Enoch does that twice in a month that's beautiful. Self mastery is a skill to be learned, and can be learned, but the underlying virtue is self discipline.

The medication you get at hospitals, contain signicant bits of alcohol, and in some painkillers and relaxants you'll find 'clinical marijuana'. Tramadol is a pain killer, many pastors take them after their vigorous all night deliverance service, but in prescribed medical dosage I suppose. Codeine which is a potent syrup for cough can utterly cause one to discobombulate when overdosed on it. So you can see two sides of a coin.

The biblical scripture says ' if your hand (wine) shall cause you to sin, cut it off'. Now "if" is a conditional statement, meaning it may cause some to sin (drunkeness) and may not cause some to sin. I am not you, you are not me. The fact that apostle Paul cut off the soldiers ear doesn't mean every man would have done same. The fact that peter denied Jesus 3 times doesn't mean every man would have done same. The fact that David slept with another man's wife doesn't mean every man would have done same. The fact say smell of drink dey high you, nor mean say e dey high me, as a matter of fact I reflect better and have more constructive thoughts after a bottle or two. I am not you, you are not me. Your weakness are not my weaknesses. As a matter of reality, your weaknesses may be my strength.

For those living in Lagos, you insult people almost everyday in buses, traffic, when driving and when outsmarted. So technically, the intense Lagos life causes you to sin, so kindly leave Lagos please!

For those living in Nigeria, the fraud government causes you to call your leaders bastards. This is sin, and a continual sin because Nigeria situation would continue to make you call them bastards, so kindly leave Nigeria please!

This thread is funny, just like saying don't burn bushes because fire kills people. Well I have been burning bushes for more than 40 years. No one has died. So would you say I committed murder?

bixton:
Prov.20.1 - Wine is a mocker, Strong drink is a brawler, And whoever is led astray by it is not wise.


Eph.5.18 - And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.
The bolded above is an old form of English usage. It means do not give in. Literally put do not even taste, do not start the process of drinking.

Prov.4.7 - Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.


1Tim.5.23 - No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.

The same man who said the above also said that which is below. Sometimes you need to apply wisdom. The Word of God does not and cannot contradict itself.


1Cor.10.23 - All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful; all things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.



Now whether you agree it's a sin or not......what you should ask yourself is what do you derive from drinking it

John.2.10 - And he said to him, "Every man at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!"


How well do we understand this statement above by the master of the feast?

So you fellas really think Jesus gave them ogogoro because the burukutu they were drinking got finished!!!!!



Pls what did Jesus serve them ?
Chivita or Five Alive like someone alluded earlier.

joshmee4real:
Does your Pastor Drink?

bamayo:
hmm. Drinking Alcohol is a controversial issue, Christian needs to be careful about it
1. the damage excessive intake of alcohol will cause is not the same with excessive eating, we should remember, Noah and lot, they caused problem to their generations because of alcohol
2. we have many baby Christians who are growing up in faith whose level of self control might not be able to control the appropriate volume of alcohol to be taken. mature Christian even though they may be able to resist excess alcohol must consider the weak ones in faith by staying away from Alcohol.
3. is it a must to take alcohol? is it irreplaceable? if its not mandatory, so why the argument? note anyone that we follow me, MUST DENY HIMSELF, carry his cross daily and follow me
Believers must also deny themselves of something even privileges like alcohol

Taiwojon:
no!!!!!

it will. remember suicide is sins and in smoking and drinking alcohol is Sins because in smoking a warning is given


smoker are liable to die young so also is alcohol it kill and shorten the life span of a person

so why kill yourself or take your life when you cannot give life


smoking and alcohol are factor that Led one to his early grave.

so life you can't give don't take it


avoid alcohol is kill. what the Bible is talking about in the verse quote was talking about all this harmless wine like 5 alive or juice.



so stop misquoting the Bible and flee alcohol
