"I was raised alcohol habit was a sin so when I left home I checked it out to see why. It was nearly instantly that I became an alcoholic. For 20 years my life was a disaster. I lost children, jobs, homes etc. At the end of that time God cured me of my addiction once I was miserable enough to ask his help. Thirty six years later I am a content, happy individual..."

"I allowed alchohal to blind me for 42 years of my life, an now I Thank my God for taking it away from me $years or so , because even though now I have got to deal with the damage done, I can do so now with a Clear head an heart..."

The reminder Paul gave to the christians in Rome: "It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother to fall." It is never right to allow our freedoms in Christ to cause a weaker brother or sister to fall."

"Hmmm broken lives, broken marriages, broken homes, plus more people killed by drunk drivers than all our wars combined......probably wise to remember the words of the apostle Paul a little leaven leavens the entire lump...!"

"How do you act after you drink? Do you speak words that aren't edifying? How do you behave? Are you more likely to be promiscuious after drinking? What are your thoughts? Are they Godly? Do you pray? Alcohol is a drug and the Bible reminds us to stay sober and be vigilant..."

"Is it a sin for a Christian to drink alcohol? No - but it would be a sin for me to do so. I grew up in a home where alcohol was a problem, but not THE problem - that was gambling. On the other hand, I married a wonderful woman who grew up with an alcoholic father - and I see the pain and discomfort it causes her. Why would I want to cause more hurt in her life? Each of us must answer the question for ourselves - how will you answer the question...?"

"I agree with being a stumbling block with drinking alcohol, but what do you do if leaders in the church are serving God and drinking alcohol and they see it to be fine..."

What's your witness?
