Ask Countesss

[Tarol]

Wait, you mean when you said you would:
LOVE TO MARRY ELEVENTH DOCTOR?

*laughs maniacally*

This is an actual honest question... 0_o

What are your thoughts on medicine?

What about natural remedies?

What are your thoughts on alcohol?

[Miss Friendship]

Wait, you mean when you said you would:
LOVE TO MARRY ELEVENTH DOCTOR

So, YOU WOULD LOVE TO MARRY PAULA OR HELIOS OR ME.... OR DID YOU MEAN ALL THREE?? Why does everyone take me seriously when I am the most un-serious about this?!?

Medicine....its wonderful.

Natural remedies? Some of things that are really unscientific and occulticish wear this brand around them, so I m a bit wary when it comes to "natural remedies."

Alcohol. It should be avoided as a constant drink, but maybe twice in your lifetime is OK.

[Helios]

Wait...Isaiah wants to marry me? THAT IS SO WEIRD! *slaps Isaiah* Back off, creep!

I think polygamy is outlawed in most of the US.

What all is classified under "alcohol"?

[Blitz]

Polygamy is not outlawed on the message boards. *Whistles* I have been told many times.

Would you ever try vodka?

[aragtaghooligan]

*bops Blitz gently on the head*

[Tarol]

Are you quick to label things "occultish"?

Why should alcohol only be consumed once or twice in a lifetime?

Have you read any C.S. Lewis?

[TigerShadow]

Are you or are you not including people whose churches provide wine for communion?

[Miss Friendship]

Would you ever try vodka?

Doubt it. Isn't that like really strong?

Have you read any C.S. Lewis?

No. But I have been taught different ways to distinguish occult like things.

To avoid drunkenness.

Yes, I have read some of Mere Christianity.

Are you or are you not including people whose churches provide wine for communion?

I am not including that.

[Eleventh Doctor]

Do you think one could drink more than once or twice in a lifetime and not be a drunkard?

[Miss Friendship]

Do you think one could drink more than once or twice in a lifetime and not be a drunkard?

We have been through this. Yes, but I still think its unwise to indulge in alcohol much more than that. Is it true that everytime wine is mentioned in the NT, it usually has a warning against using it too much?

[Eleventh Doctor]

I know this is nitpicking but why once or twice in a lifetime?

I don't know about that, I do know there are many mentions of wine being a good thing though.

[aragtaghooligan]

I don't think that is true. I don't remember that being mentioned in the story where Jesus turns water into wine because all the partiers ran out of wine at the wedding, I also don't remember it being mentioned when he went to Zaccheus' house or when he used wineskins as a metaphor for christians.

[Miss Friendship]

Well alcohol has been suggested by Paul as a use for medicine. We certainly are not sick all the time. The "once or twice a lifetime" thing is my own standard for myself.

@Ragtag I was talking about the writers who mentioned wine in the epistles and such. Not really events concerning wine.

[Eleventh Doctor]

Do you think the Bible suggest drinking alcohol only as a medicine?

[aragtaghooligan]

I think romans 14 has been very useful for me on this particular topic.

My dad (graduated seminary, can read, in fact he taught both Greek abd Hebrew) says that the word wine in the bible can mean pretty much anything but water and milk. So Jesus could have easily turned the water into grape juice or Apple juice, or Gatorade, or some sort of amazing drink from the fruit in heaven.

So if that was the case, he wouldn't have to necessarily warn people about getting drunk

[Miss Friendship]

Do you think the Bible suggest drinking alcohol only as a medicine?

I know it mentions that as a good reason too. I didn't say only.

Hmmm, very interesting Sing.

Yeah that makes no sense, it was clearly wine as the bridegroom said it was the best wine.

[Miss Friendship]

How would you know what the best wine is? And suppose the best wine is from heaven and isn't acholic? I don't think we will be getting drunk in heaven come to think of it.

[Eleventh Doctor]

I find it hilarious that Biblical literalist get mad at me for not taking every word of Genesis literally but quibble about whether the word wine actually means wine or the definition of wine.
