I'm sorry but I am having a hard time seeing where you are coming from.
Take alcohol for example. How are we to judge what is in moderation and what isnt? Isnt our heart corruptible? I don't see how it could be acceptable for us as Christ followers to partake in something so worldy, something that causes such havoc and wreckage. I just can't see it fitting for a born-again Christian to regularly partake in. What's the purpose of alcohol, to relax? To unwind? Does it not become an idol? And I suppose smoking is alright in moderatioin? I see it as a self-soothing substitute. I don't know what good can come out of it, so I suppose the one who feels it alright to drink or smoke as a Christian should deeply examine themselves of the motive behind their desire. I believe that thel Lord is our source and supply.. Anyways, that's the way I feel.. I hope someone can see where I am coming from. God bless
So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
