The whole of the middle east is stooped in drug culture and you have not seen it? Maybe you don't wan't to see it I don't know. When you say I don't care if I see any evidence or not to me, and then say to Frenchy that you have never seen any evidence of a drug culture, which side of your mouth is talking when? Makes me think you are having a go at me on a personal level, I hope not as I would rather withdraw then having a domestic fight here.lol
THP who will argue the argument but not the person
Well, I guess the GB is selective in the things they choose to includes on the forbidden list.
They are all up there in years, and obviously puritanical in their sexual mores....therefore, most sexual practices are WRONG!
They don't smoke....so cigarettes are an evil addiction, and all smokers should be thrown out into the street.
However, they REALLY enjoy their food and booze....so gluttony and excessive drinking are perfectly okay.
Come on, people! Have you forgotten that these men are led by the holy spirit...er inspired by the holy spirit....um have heard of the holy spirit? Everything they do or say comes straight from the top, although I guess that means that they got the message from Bacchus.
Greetings from the other Island, you said: "Verses 4 and 5 seems to show a God who understands the poor. We in affluent lands may find it hard to understand the some of the poor in the world's urban slums spending their limited funds on alcohol. Here in Proverbs 31:7 God is showing us the reality for many people in these circumstances, namely "let them drink and forget their poverty."
It is not much good to a poor unfortunate soul that God understands him what would be good is if God helps them instead. I think christians should take more after the salvo's as they seem to be the ones that actually do more than just understand, they help.
