Description
For SuperKuddlor
It’s not a sin to Drink wine, but it is to be drunk
not a sin to make love in marriage but it is out of marriage
why?
Take a look at the long list of folks who have gotten themselves AND others killed by the things they’ve done while drunk.
And take a look at all the broken families there are are abortions being done every day because of people who decided to jump right into bed with another for the sake of “fun” without considering whats at stake.
Every action in life comes with a cause and effect, we reap what we sow, just as the word of the Lord has shown, and life itself has proven to be so.

I really hope you won't take me off as "rude" for saying this, but I already gave my input on this before, so... why again are we coming back to this? If you are expecting me to give a different answer because this is being made public, I hate to disappoint you, but, that's not gonna happen.
However... to give a more "direct" answer to your question, I'll say this; In my limited understanding when certain things where brought to my attention that where indeed wrong or a sin, I admit there was a time I questioned "why" or "how was this wrong"? However, although it was a struggle, my desire was to "know" and to understand the truth regardless of weather I liked the answer or not, not because I "HAD" to, but because I wanted to honor the one who desired to save me from that sin I battled with. The answers I got where not at all what I liked... but it opened my eyes to realize "why" God says "yes" to something or "no" to something OR just "not yet, or in its proper place only". He didn't just blindly create all things and called this good or this bad without any just reason, he foreknew, and foresaw the cause and effects of all thing and as such identified which characteristics attribute to a healthier upright life style that not only draw us near to God but also benefit us as well, where as in contrast, sin does the opposite; for as it is written; When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death. James 1:13-15
at the end of it all when it comes to understanding and knowing where every action and life style choices lead by weighing them on the scale of Life by the spirit, and life by the flesh, of which Scripture says this;
You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love. For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you bite and devour each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
Galatians 5:13-25
In conclusion, I simply stand with what God's "written word" says on this subject and what I also encourage as well, I hope you can understand and respect this, thank you.
