    I predict that this accusation will be leveled by post #5 of the first debate, regardless of the subject.

    Why?  Tradition, personal preference, and indoctrination.

    A poor choice of an expression.  One would hope that there would be more care taken with Our Lord's Name than this.

    For what it's worth, I've drunk plenty of toasts in my day with fruit juice. I might try to choose something that definitely doesn't look like alcohol... But that can be harder than it looks. Once I chose ginger ale because I thought cola looked too much like beer... then realized it prOBably looked like champagne. Sometimes you just can't win. But everybody knows I don't drink, so I don't worry too much about it.

    As for anyone who thinks one should avoid such situations altogether, well, my brother is saved, but they had alcohol, rock music and dancing at the wedding. Sometimes you attend anyways - because the people are important.

    ..saying that he went to towns and villages where sins were being committed, or ate in the houses of sinners.

    On the contrary, right context.
     
    And basically you're saying one of two things:
     
    1. Jesus didn't go to or speak to people who sinned.
     
    2. Jesus did go to people who sinned, except people who drank alcohol. 
  14. Thanks

    Of course Jesus went to places where sinners were, that's the whole point. Some people would no doubt have been drinking at Levi's house too, as well as doing whatever else. If we say 'there's no way Jesus would have come within a mile of where people were sinning' then we negate why He came and dwelt among us. 
     
    Mark 2:15-17 And it came to pass, that, as Jesus sat at meat in his house, many publicans and sinners sat also together with Jesus and his disciples: for there were many, and they followed him. And when the scribes and Pharisees saw him eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners? When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

    Wow - you're assuming a lot here.  Why don't we wait til jebarr tells us the music is "swanky" (I know of a number of DJ'd receptions that played quite good music - the DJ simply made sure it was done right) and that she's going to pull a garter off her leg.  Not all weddings do that - even in the unsaved realm.
     
    If going to a wedding where there is alcohol is wrong, why did Jesus go to one? There's no way anyone will convince me (and you can't use scripture because it doesn't say) that there wasn't alcohol served during the three days of feasting...

    The decision belongs to whomever is paying for it. He who holds the cash...

    I am sure some would still rather "vote for Jesus" because he is a Republican.

    Isn't it funny how the OT doesn't apply until those who claim it doesn't want to make it?  
     
    Neglect of our responsibilities as citizens puts the problems in American squarely on the backs of Christians.
     
    I'm hoping Ted Cruz runs. He's a born again Christian.  Of course, some will say he isn't enough of one...

    They also make one wonder if pot smoking is more common than originally thought.

    I noticed that "huckster" (I think that's the English word for a snake-oil salesman) is not an option.

    I can sympathise.  It takes time, and English is not an easy language to learn for many.

    I should start a thread about overly-critical people.
