If you can shrink it down, it might be my new avatar :laugh:

Yes, you are correct. :) Good Girl Bitsy!
An 8 ounce glass of RC is much worse for you than an 8 oz glass of wine. RC has nothing of value but junk like high fructose corn syrup (the worst!) caffeine, artificial flavors and colors, sugar (at last that is natural) etc...
Thanks for reminding me, I am on a Candida Cleanse anyways so I better wait until that is complete to splurge on RC.
But that one glass of wine is all it takes to lower inhibitions and ......see Bitsy dancing on the table! -
I just don't drink either one ;)
icky icky
And a cleanse huh -- -
Yep, it's not pretty
-
-
I'd rather drink cola, water, milk, etc. :smilewinkgrin: -
no flavor, no taste, but it keeps you hydrated nicely -
Anyone? -
It works for me :thumbs:

Brita filtered water and Spring water in bottles usually. Tap is ok sometimes
-
The bottled water frauds don't get my dollars, or even my pennies, unless I'm a long way from home and really thirsty, which means water, not soda pop which makes one thirstier with it acids and salts.

I drink alcohol, but only rarely... I don't consider a glass of wine with a good meal a sin...
-
Since all Scripture is given by God for doctrine, reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness, that includes the verses where God clearly tells us alcoholic beverages are forbidden.
But what does God know, right? -
Janet, don't take that to heart... He's coming off of a recently closed, very heated argument on the subject. -
Regardless of where I came from, the truth is people disregard the command to abstain.
God's commands are not to be ignored readmore. -
1If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.
2If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
3If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
or how about these:
- 1 John 3:10
This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother.
- 1 John 4:20
If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.
- 1 John 3:10

MP,
If I hated ya, I would not warn you that you were preaching a false doctrine. I would allow the lies to go on about people being allowed to drink alcohol if I hated ya. If my language was hateful, I would even tell people it was ok to drink myself as argumentively as you and others so do.
I warn out of love for people, not hatred.
God's Word commands abstinence, as I have proven time and again. There is no false assumption on my behalf. It is on the behalf of those who argue for the consumption of alcohol. Apparently their conscience is seared to where they believe the lie that God allows it. It is they who add to the Word of God... not I. -
I am sorry for his self-destructive behavior, but I do believe some people are genetically bent toward addictive behavior. He may not have been in full control of what he did. Our chemical bodies drive us to do things that a rational person may not. Your belief that there is no way he escaped hell must cause you distress that I can't understand. However, God's grace is greater than any sin. We don't know your brother's heart, nor what may have occurred between him and a loving God who understands our frailties and foibles.
With that said, I pray for peace and healing for you and your family regarding this tragedy. I have not walked in your shoes, nor you in mine. I can only offer that I care, along with my prayers.
May God bless you for your devotion.
