I stand by my comments about the Scriptures...G. F.,<br />I stand by my comments about the Scriptures in Proverbs 23 and the NT commands to “be sober” as directly condemning beverage alcohol. More evidence will be provided later. <br /><br />There has been opposition to drinking throughout church history, but it is true that as far as we know it was not until the late 1700s and early 1800s that the church began to rise up in significant opposition to drinking. But then much the same could be said about the church’s opposition to slavery. I’m glad the church (at least much of it) finally got it right on both issues. I’m glad the Southern Baptist Convention has it right on both issues. I also think the SBC basically has the right perspective on the social gospel. <br />David R. BrumbelowDavid R.

If it looks bad for my position, I'll define the word in one way, if it looks good for my position, I'll define it the other. Why is it that in Church History, it wasn't until the massive growth of the social gospel movement in the mid-to-late 1800s that Total Abstinence from alcohol was elevated to a tenet of the faith?G.
