    A Few Things to Discuss (A Bit Long)

    The SDA Church This is something that I've not been able to understand personally. Why do many people consider SDA to be a cult? I grew up in the church and the beliefs are different, though many people have different beliefs hence why we have so many different denominations. Although I do...

    How to not be lonely

    I am quite a lonely person and I’m very shy in general. I find it hard to speak to people for the first time and so there’s many people I see everyday who I’ve never spoken too - is this odd or normal? I still have a couple of friends from when I was at school but I hardly see them anymore since...

    Is husband controlling??

    I want some real non biased truthful opinions here. I really want to get to the truth of what is healthy and what is not. My husband and I were both raised in Christian homes, though still very differently. He was brought up extremely fundamentalist. No movies, no dancing, no alcohol. I was...

    Is it ok for christians to go to nightclubs

    I feel like I've really missed out on experiences at university to make friends. I don't drink, talk to women, have good friends. What are your thoughts on going to nightclubs and having a drink or two to become more social and meet new people?

    Bible condones poisoning yourself with ethanol?

    I drank that horrendous, lethal poison for the second time in my life last night. It is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! First it felt kind of good, but memorizing that, it was more about losing self-control than being happy. I possibly lost my reputation by sending drunken messages to everyone, in the...

    A New(?) Argument Against Drinking Alcohol--Any Good Challenges?

    I believe drinking alcohol is not a sin (that is important to remember), but Christians should not drink, should actively encourage the church community to refrain from drinking, and would do well to restrict the use of alcohol as much as possible in their surrounding communities. This is the...

    Broke Up Due to Alcohol

    Last night my boyfriend ended our relationship because of his drinking habits. He said he didn't want to get me upset anymore by drinking even though he loved me. And that he didn't want to lie to me by saying that he drank less or wasn't drinking. But he also justified his drinking and said...

    Teetotaling Family Issues

    A bit of background: Neither of my parents ever drank when I was growing up. My grandparents were alcoholics before becoming Christians, and my parents were united in rejecting alcohol on that basis, along with growing up in a strict Pentecostal church. As a result, I was very fearful of...

    Celebrating With A Medieval Drink

    I went to confession today, both, because I had committed several mortal sins, and because have been having a really hard time with anger issues this week. After I went, I felt really great, and even though I struggled with temptations at first, I clung tightly to Our Blessed Mother, and...

    Merry Christmas and a question

    Merry Christmas to all of you. My best whishes in this blessed day. A question (I'm afraid this is not the right place for this question but I don't know which is): the bread dipped in wine shared in Orthodox's ceremonies has alcohol? Is that wine alcoholic? I do not mean the Eucharist but...

    How intoxicated does one need to be, in order for it to be sinful?

    Hey everyone, At dinner tonight, I decided to try a Bourbon. Afterwards, I have been a bit clumsy, and a tad more absent-minded and loose in thoughts. I think I'm okay, but I just want to ask, how intoxicated does one have to be, in order for it to be sinful?

    What are you're anti-puritan pleasures?

    So I've tried the Melomel, and it is strong. This is the third time I've drank alcohol, -receiving the Precious Blood doesn't count, cause it's His Blood, not wine- I'm a fan of alcohol, I'm nervous about influencing my mind, and I'm starting to realize, I don't really like the taste of alcohol...

    The Bible And Alcohol

    In the 1800’s and early 1900’s the church in America took a bold stand for total abstinence. People read research about the word "wine;" Bible studies showed the truth about alcohol. The result was Prohibition with its great benefits. But the prohibition amendment was repealed, and the church...
