@MartinTheFirst No sir. I have no need for alcohol and it's not because of what happened to my husband. I don't care for it. I'm happy and satisfied, with having Jesus in my life. The Bible doesn't explicitly prohibit alcohol consumption, but it does caution against drunkenness and excessive drinking.
I don't like the potential negative consequences it can cause. I don't see anything good coming from it. I believe alcohol can impair judgment, lead to poor decisions, and hinder spiritual growth. The presence of the Holy Spirit and spiritual growth, is very important to me. I don't like clogging my brain or reasoning, with it and I don't need it to have fun or be happy. The Holy Spirit alone, fills me with joy, peace, and contentment. I could have it certainly, but I don't want it. I don't see any sense in it.
I keep in mind that the Bible says not to be a stumbling block to people, those who may be weak around crowds that drink alcohol or even an individual. I believe in being a good witness for Christ. I certainly don't want to cause anyone to do something that would harm their body or mess up their whole life. I don't want to be a stumbling block for others who may be struggling with alcohol or have a different view on the matter. I wouldn't want to cause a brother or sister to "fall" in their Christian faith, either.
I believe Christ wants us to set a positive example, role model, and be a witness of moral character, especially in communities where alcohol abuse is prevalent. Ultimately, the decision to drink or abstain from alcohol is a personal one, based on an individual's interpretation of scripture and their own conscience.
They mostly drink wine in Jesus's day because the water was so contaminated.
It is called nothing but mockery and any Christian who promotes it or supports that company, should be ashamed. The company uses Satanic imagery to promote an anti-Christ agenda. Within three days, the video has been viewed more than 5.7 million times.
Yes. Look at this video:
[media=https://www.tiktok.com/@faithflix_/video/7279086018345602336?lang=en] All the Christians are protesting and they should, because they are doing nothing but mocking God. Christians will want to know that the "M" on the word "Monster" is the symbol of 666 in Hebrew. Not only that, there's the Cross of Christ in the letter "o". This is no coincidence and Christians know how subtle Satan is, in trying to downgrade Christ. It is a mockery and God will not be mocked. And energy drink has nothing whatsoever with Christ. His picture does not belong on an energy drink or anything else that tries to defame him.
Also, the side label reads "Unleash the Beast," in reference to "the Beast" in the Book of Revelations.
The cross sure was a big deal to Christ. It's also a big deal to me, I don't know about other Christians, but the cross is a powerful reminder of Jesus' horrible suffering and death, representing the atonement for the sins of humanity. And it definitely doesn't belong on the side of a can.
It also reminds us of hope and redemption, as Jesus' death on the cross is seen as the foundation for the believer's faith. The cross is a reminder of the love and sacrifice of God, who sent his Son to die for the sins of the world. A way of acknowledging Jesus' crucifixion and the power of his sacrificial death. So no, I don't see the humor or cuteness in seeing the cross on a can of soda, energy drink, beer bottle or anything else. Jesus went out of his way to save those that he even knew would not accept his Plan of Salvation. That speaks of his eternal love for us and He proved it on the cross...the same one they put on a can of energy drink! I see it as being most irreverent to God and His agony on the cross, just to save some who think it to be "no big deal."
While we are not to worship the cross, nor pray over it, nor idolize it, it does serve as a powerful reminder of Jesus' crucifixion and the power of his sacrificial death.
While the Bible doesn't explicitly state the cross is "holy" in the way we might use that word today, it does highlight the significance of the crucifixion and the cross as a reminder of Jesus' great sacrifice and the Christian faith, emphasizing its role in atonement and redemption.
Philippians 2:6-8: This passage describes Jesus's humility and obedience, even to the point of death on a cross, highlighting the depth of his sacrifice.
1 Corinthians 1:18: "For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish, foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God."
1 Peter 2:24: This verse states that Jesus "himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness," emphasizing the role of the cross in atonement.
