Admin	Christian man's view on drinking? Posted : 4 Jan, 2013 08:27 AM I understand someone who doesn't want to be with someone who drinks or smokes; both can cause really complicated relationships and can lead to substance abuse. I think smoking is disgusting, but I have a drink maybe three times a year, mostly for special occasions. I love Jesus like anyone else, but I don't think one glass of wine is wrong, or that the Bible says it is wrong. Which brings me to questions #1: Since this site gives the option to not talk to anyone who drinks, is it really fair to label someone because of that? And questions #2: If you met the girl of your dreams, who loved the Lord and you could see a future with, but you disagreed about drinking, would that be a deal-breaker? I know everyone is different, so this is purely out of curiosity. Post Reply

Posted : 11 Jan, 2013 03:47 AM Yes i believe its right to put it that way coz there are those who can't put up with drinkers or smokers.It gives the site users a choice.For those who don't mind its ok. If one doesn't like to be in a relationship with one who drinks its good not to start it in the first place,or to leave once you realise he/she drinks.It will always be a problem coz you sincerely don't like it. Let no one compromise on these issues.Remember a long term relationship or marriage is something you will live with probably for the rest of your life and you want to be happy with your partner.

Posted : 14 Jan, 2013 07:15 AM It's true that the word of God never said that drinking alcohol is sin & I wouldn't make anyone feel they've sinned by drinking without getting drunk. But I believe it's an issue that need to be dealt with from the foundation of a relationship. #1: whether it's fair, I'll say yes it's. #2: whether it can be a deal breaker; I'll also say yes. I find it hard to stay around some one who exude the smell of alcohol when he/she speaks or breathe. God bless. Post Reply

Posted : 19 Jan, 2013 01:26 PM I hear lots of complaints about "binge drinking" but really to do the binge about once a month is what makes it fun. Without the binge then there is not much sense or fun in a little drinking. Not every day, but at least one every few months. Post Reply
View Profile History	Christian man's view on drinking? Posted : 21 Jan, 2013 06:23 AM I agree, Sand, it seems that only a few people understood the question. I was talking about drinking at all, not alcohol every day. But thank you everyone who understood the question and answered it honestly. Post Reply
Gourd00 View Profile History	Christian man's view on drinking? Posted : 21 Jan, 2013 04:48 PM The Bible doesn't say don't drink; it says don't get drunk. A glass is one thing, getting plastered is another. That said, we can't control other people's judgements. We can influence them, but in the end, if someone is going to be shallow, they aren't worth marrying. I would be open to marrying a woman who had a drink every now and then, but certainly not a regular drinker, even if it wasn't for the purposes of getting drunk. I don't want alcohol sitting around the house on a regular basis, and I don't plan on being a drinker myself. Post Reply

Posted : 26 Jan, 2013 07:18 AM I say that it makes little to no sense at all to drink without getting drunk, or at least to feel tipsy (so long as not driving or causing trouble), because otherwise just drink some orange juice or soda pop and be done with it. When Jesus turned water into wine then it says that they were "filled up to the brim" and it says that "men have well drunk" so the wine was for drinking and not for sipping.

View Profile History	Christian man's view on drinking? Posted : 13 Feb, 2013 12:34 AM My personal opinion is that drinking at all is a deal breaker. I am a recovering alcoholic since i have been saved. The urges are not strong anymore but i would expect my wife to be supportive of it by not drinking at all. If i cant count on my wife to not be drinking it out of the house how can i say she wont bring some into the house eventually. But thats just me. Post Reply
