Define what lost is. If you mean being tortured endlessly in a burning hell then I would disagree.

Disagree in there being a place of endless torture, or that one would go there?

Buzzed is drunk. People will argue. People are wrong.

There is a difference in being drunk and not being drunk. Jesus drank wine. He didnt get drunk. They accused him of being a "winebibber".

The drunkard will be cast into the flames of Hell and be destroyed.

However, the fact that I didn’t have these habits, didn’t grant me salvation. I was still a sinner. And I know people who struggled with these addictions. The struggle was real. Some were miraculously delivered from them on receiving the Holy Ghost. Others, for whatever reason, that I will not speculate about, were delivered from addiction years later.

My father told me that his father was addicted to smokeless tobacco, so severely that he went to bed with it in his mouth. It was before I came along, but he was such a clean neat person when I came to know him, that I could scarcely picture him in that condition. Smokeless is highly addictive to some people. And it does cause oral cancer and other serious health concerns.

However, it may be best not to condemn someone to hell for addiction. Sometimes we can condemn someone whom God needs a little time to work on.

Maybe.

So if you are addicted to something then its all good. I see.

How about the overeater?

Like I asked 4 pages ago. Why would you want to drink alcohol? Never really got an answer from anyone.

I’m addicted to bacon too. Sometimes I can just feel my cholesterol tanking, and I have to get a fix. Ice cream too.
