| You'd need to explain a bit about 'drink to relax' to make it a sin. How about relaxing with a cup of coffee, is that a sin? Why would it be wrong to do the same thing with one cup of win? How about a low alcohol beer?When Jesus drank wine, did He ever relax a bit? What about the apostles? They weren't standing up at the Lord's Supper.There are times it is appropriate to refuse to work. There is a Proverb against working too much too |

| Cheat on their spouse! This would be pretty hard to do and it not be a sin, since it is listed as a SIN in scripture, That would be adultery, I think.I really do not like lists. If we all made a list of the top 10 things GOD looks at as sin, we might have many different lists with about 4 being common. Just a guess.If a Dr. Prescribes Valium most Christians would take it. If a Dr. Prescribes marijuana for pain, SOME Christians would use it.If a Dr. prescribes a glass of wine before bed time, many Christians would follow the 'script'.Lists get shaky. If you compare a list from 1952and 2016 you would see a drastic change. Did God change? A list from 1952would have been drastically different. It would contain TV, Movies, jewelry, make-up and bobbed hair at the top. Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/ |

| But, I have seen all of these in the churches I have attended or pastored and the ones who commit these things say they have no need to ask the Lord for forgiveness, because they aren't spiritual issues. |

| Hey Link, if you need liquor to relax, more power to you. Do you know for a fact that Jesus drank wine to relax? I only read where they drank wine with their meals, for an upset stomach, and while they was partying, but I'm sure someone has wrote somewhere that Jesus drank wine while cruising the seas, cause He was telling them, Let's go over to the other side quite often. |

| Link simply asked for more explanation, I did not read that he drank to relax.As far as the Lord drinking wine. It is a simple fact, mentioned, referred to and written in scripture. folks who deny that and tap dance around the fact with 'low alcohol' content or ir was only grape juice etc are defying logic.
