well. before i was saved. i drank alot. i was struggeling with fitting in and was picked on alot at school.. it seemed like the only way for acceptance.. so i drank.. i hated it.. acted like i loved it. and just drank to get drunk.. i would drink as fast and as much as i could till i didnt care anymore.. it was my way of fitting in... i never liked it .. still think its gnasty.
and i dont believe in "drinking responsibly" now. it doesnt say not to drink in the Bible. it just says not to get drunk.. but, how does it affect your witness when you either talk about drinkning. or some one sees you drinking.. if you are a stand up good guy. everyone knows your a Christian.. then some one sees you drinking.. how long do you think it will take to get around to everyone you know.. and how do you think they will react... how about this.. how will it look to the people you have been trying to whitness to or the people you will try to lead to Christ in the future..
if you will put yourself in an environment or a situation where you might drink.. even if you think you will drink"responsibly" you will look bad.. and most people cannot stop at just 1 beer. or 1 shot of something..
even if you do find something that tastes good. like bacardi peach or whatever yall said..
drinking is wrong. it leads to doing other wrong things.. and most importantly of all it hurts your whitness...
a evangalist that came to our church said this..
"why do you think God left us here when we were saved? well think about it. there are really only 2 things you can do here. that you cannot do in heaven. you can sin, and you can lead lost people to Christ. now which one do you think Heleft you here to do?"
P.S. i am really apalled that i am on a Christian forum and i see some one suggesting an alchoholic drink to some one....
