Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Pr 20:1 KJB). Friendly reminder Christian friend. If God rebuked the spiritual leaders of Israel thousands of years ago for drinking and consuming strong drink, fermented beverages like beer, alcohol, liquors etc... what makes you think He is ok with you drinking as a spiritual priest and fellow member of the body of Christ? (1 Peter 2:5). The Bible says 'It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: (Pr 31:4 KJB)"; Christians are spiritually 'kings and priests' according to-And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Re 1:6 KJB). Who cares if your 'pastor', 'deacons', 'elders', church tradition drink it up. You are responsible for your own individual accountability before the living God, and you alone will stand before Him at the judgement seat of Christ. Brethren, stand firm, stay faithful to God's words, even if costs you those 'friendships'. Spiritual sobriety is obedience; carnal drunkenness is disobedience. In love- Brother Carlos.
