IF DRINKING IS A DISEASE,
IT IS THE ONLY DISEASE THAT:
1. is contracted by an act of the will.
2. requires a license to propagate it.
3. is bottled and sold.
4. requires outlets to spread it.
5. produces revenue for the government.
6. is habit forming.
7. provokes crime.
8. is allowed to be spread by advertising.
9. is not caused by a germ or virus.
10. has no human corrective medicine.
(1 Cor. 6:9-10 KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, {10} Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
There seems to be a misunderstanding concerning the wording in this verse. Let me explain. I was told by a brother that drunkards don't go to heaven but alcoholics do. This brother has swallowed the lie that there is a difference between the two. There is no difference between the two, but let's do a comparison anyway.
Drunkards don't care about their families.
Alcoholics do!
Drunkards crave alcohol.
Alcoholics don't!
Drunkards spend all their money on booze.
Alcoholics don't!
Drunkards can't keep a job.
Alcoholics can!
I guess I was wrong. There is a difference.
I guess I don't have to give the gospel to alcoholics just drunkards. Ridiculous
isn't it! The Bible makes no distinction between alcoholics and drunkards
because they are one and the same.
Too many Christians have swallowed the
lies of the psychologists who have declassified alcoholism as a sin and
reclassified alcoholism as a disease. Until people reject this excuse for
sin they will be doomed to hell after death and suffer a life of hell on earth.
On a personal note; the families of
alcoholics suffer too. There must be sin in causing others to suffer.
