@famooz, Finally someone is getting what I am trying to put across. It is not the principle that is wrong, but us. Also, we were made to follow the principle and not the other way around. about alcohol... my take. The text usually picked is ' do not be drunk with wine.'The word nornally used for this is ' drunkenness'. In the original context, this word should be better translated as 'addiction' or a state where someone is controlled by something else other than God. The root of this is in the sripture that says, ' You shall have no other God but me!In essence, it should cover anything that has any control over you including, tea, sex, icecream, work, spouse, food ( maybe that is why fasting is recommended) In life however, we know alcohol, like power and everything else in huge quanitites corrupts. I have just never had any one in his/her old age say ' I should have drunk more beer!!! I think moderation is the key. Keeping the balance is very hard so many opt not to indulge. I Think Therefore I Am

I have a very big problem with the highlighted part. 'Cleverly' twisting the bible to support ones claims. Even sheto did it in Eden and attempted to repeat it with Jesus. Akina pope did it before when it was heresy to even think the earth was round and not the center of the universe and they hunted and killed and burned at the stake people who had the audacity to read that same bible for themselves, akina Waldensians and John Wycliffe and Jan Hus... The bible is not open to interpretation! So, please lead me and I will forever hold my peace and accept, where in the bible are condoms mentioned? End this debate, tell us where it is written!
