Do you feel sinful when you drink alcohol? If so, then stop. God is telling you to stop. There are a few good passages about this subject in the Bible. </P> <P> 1 Timothy 3:3:  Not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. </P> <P> Matthew 15:11:  What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' &quot; </P> <P> Romans 14:14:  As one who is in the Lord Jesus, I am fully convinced that no food [Or that nothing] is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for him it is unclean. (As a matter of fact, the entire chapter of Romans 14 is good.)And a few more: </P> <P> 1 Timothy 3:8:  Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. </P> <P> 1 Timothy 5:23:  Stop drinking only water, and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. </P> <P> Basically the Bible tells us that it's not a sin to have a beer or a glass of wine. But we must not give into drunkenness. </P> </span> <hr size="1" noshade="true"></hr> <address onclick="link()">Content Courtesy of <u class="link">RaptureReady.com</u></address></body> </html>
