*** Moderator note ***

  • This was not posted to be “red meat” for the next Total Abstinence / Moderation ok (two wines , etc)) debate;
    • Since we all agree that drunkenness is sin (and folly)
    • And driving on thin ice is not wise
  • It’s a very powerful story about one man’s tragic mistake

Thanks

Jim's Doctrinal Statement

Mon, 04/09/18

Now if only there was an indication of saving faith there. Hope I missed something here for obvious reasons. One thing that strikes me as well is that since they were able to keep their home in a fairly spendy area, one would have to guess that his employer worked with him on those 100 tellings of his story. That can also be a critical part of repentance—making it something someone can work through instead of a “shoot the wounded” type of thing.

Aspiring to be a stick in the mud.
