Abstinence or Temperance?
Here is what two great men have said about alcohol:
Shakespeare said, “Alcohol is a poison men take into the mouth to steal away the brain.”
Abraham Lincoln said, “A cancer in human society, eating out its vitals and threatening its destruction.”
THE BIBLE SAYS: In Proverbs 23:29 the Bible asks six questions.
- “Who has anguish?
- Who has sorrow?
- Who is always fighting?
- Who is always complaining?
- Who has unnecessary bruises?
- Who has bloodshot eyes?”
In verse 30 of the same chapter we find the answer: “It is the one who spends long hours in the taverns, trying out new drinks.”
The most Scriptural answer to the above questions is complete abstinence. It is also the safest answer.
