  1. Ooohh i love ff5!! They're awesome
  2. This is my favorite song from my favorite band. They have more music that it very uplifting and relateable. It helped me keep my mind on God when i went through hard times. I hope it encourages everyone like it did for me.
  3. Yes i agreec. Thank you all for your views and insights. I appreciate it.
  4. See i agree with that to a certain extent.. I think drinking beer and wine is wrong. But thats my own conviction. it doesn't have to be yours unless of course God convicts you of it. But these people don't even care to ask they just assume its ok. They just blame it on the one who has the problem and don't even realize they're a stumbling block to him.
  5. Like in verse 9 "But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak." There is also an elder in the church who doesn't even bother to hide the wine in his house for the sake of his friend! And Paul also says in verse 13 "Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, i will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble." Even Paul says that he'll just boycott meat for the sake of his brother. Shouldn't we follow his example and do the same for our brothers and sisters in Christ? They completely ignore that last verse again to cover up their own pleasures which is very selfish of them. Don't get me wrong I love the church I'm attending but this is the first time they completely ignored what the scripture is plainly saying. Just like Cohier said, those verses are very clear yet they are so blind..
  6. I agree with you lady c. My view is very similar to yours. but the other people I'm talking about think that "they have freedom in Christ" and are therefore immnune to this passage. One man openly said that it doesn't matter if a fellow friend struggles with an alcoholic addiction. That just because he has a problem doesn't mean he can't drink it around him. That it is his own fault he has an addiction. We recently went to a wedding where they served wine and the poor man had to leave because they didn't take into consideration his addiction.. The wedding consisted of the whole church (which is a very small one) and most know that this man is struggling but didn't bother to keep the wine away so that he wouldn't stumble.
  7. There are some people in the church i go that have gotten a different interpretation of the chapter than i did.. They have used it to cover their own sin. I'd like to know everyone's view on this passage. One of the few people i mentioned is a youth pastor and am afraid he may be misguiding the teenagers.. Please help!
