I’d say it describes Irish Catholics pretty well!

I don’t know of any passages about buffalo wings, but you could probably loosely interpret some fatten calf references for barbecue beef.

Sorry....no pulled pork. :O)

YOU ARE OBVIOUSLY A PROD HATER!

My cattle hate prods, too.

At least Jack is smart enough to know that our bodies are bound for destruction regardless, not drinking beer wine or whiskey is not going to keep that from happening.

I wonder if Jack is the same man who went to the pastor and said his wife was considering a divorce because he spends too much money on beer while always complaining about how much she spends on makeup. The pastor asked why he was complaining about her purchases if he spent just as much. He said because that was what the beer was for.

Proverbs is clearly speaking about drunkenness, not alcohol. Same can be said about food. I go to a baptist church in KY. It is VERY teatotalling. I have a full bar in my house. I will have a single malt with a cigar with the occasional friend, but drunkenness is not permitted.

Regarding teatotalling, that is a Muslim/Mormon thing, not a Christian thing. There is a reason Christ’s first miracle was to turn water into wine at an event where they have already been “drinking it up”. First impressions matter.

And no, it wasn’t grape juice.

From Hebrew Scriptures:

6
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto the bitter in soul;
7
Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

Things that make you go hmmmmm.

Yes. It’s talking about getting drunk. The bible has a couple of things to say about gluttony as well. It always cracks me up when one of my fat baptist brethren tells me people shouldn’t drink ANY alcohol. I avoid the obvious accusation I could make because of that whole “judge not, lest ye be judged.” thing. It’s kinda funny though.

One has to realize this was written for Christians before cable tv and the internet. It is not a passage for Christians today. </sarc>

Actually, it was written for jews. And the book in question is wisdom 101.

[Gamecock]

The OT isn’t for Christians?

Still trying to figure out what having a Coors has to do with drinking beer. At least it wasn't Coors Light.

I hear it all comes from the same horse.

It most definitely is. But Solomon was speaking to Jews before the Church age. They were also doing a lot of animal sacrifice stuff and sabath keeping back then.

Proverbs is not about religious rules. It is about “things to do to live a better life”. One of those things would be to not hang around bad people. Another would be to not get drunk. They are very good advice.

I callit “Wisdom 101”, because the deeper wisdom is Ecclesiastes.

Coors is beer? Who knew?

This is going to be lost on the humor challenged.
