Would you consider Jesus to be a strong Christian? He drank routinely and in public. I also doubt if he always stayed completely sober while doing so.I know there are plenty of people who can drink and not get drunk. Most people I know who do drink get drunk fairly often. It seems pretty similar to the church attendance thread to me. Two questions; Do you know anyone that you consider to be a strong Christian who routinely or while in public consumes alcohol? Can you personally drink and always remain sober? I practice passing judgement only on myself in this matter as I think is appropriate. Putting this entire issue into a black and white box of classification seems foolish.
