First of all, a christian is someone who believes in the Bible and the authority of the Bible- God’s Word as the foundation for their faith and for all that is morally acceptable, therefore somebody can not be a strong Christian and be gay, if someone is openly or homosexual, or a sodomite whatever you want to call it and says it is ok, they are not a strong Christian, and obviously don’t care about what God says and what God wants, they only care about what they want,
secondly, in regards to alcohol, lets see Jesus goes around calling people to follow him, teaching them and working with them to clean up their lives, he also heals people, making the lame to walk, giving the blind their sight, making people whole, common sense anybody could understand is that Jesus would not choose for his first miracle to make something that caused people to get drunk, he also wouldn’t make something that was rotten, thats not in his character, he would knowingly be sinning if he made alcohol- not going to happen Habakkuk 2:15-Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also” anyways thats what I think.
