"Is it against Church standards to drink cola beverages or any other beverage containing caffeine?"
Bishop H. Burke Peterson, who was the First Counselor in the Presiding Bishopric at the time answered:
"'And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man.' (D&C 89:10)
"We should notice the word wholesome and always consider the things that we take into our body as to whether they are wholesome or not. The scripture continues, 'All these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.' (D&C 89:11)
I did look it up and still wondering about it. PD do you drink cola drinks? If not why not?
So...
...are they WHOLESOME or not??
(PD’s been trained WELL!)
Good for you! You still found no definitive answer. I wonder if there is one to this question? Maybe if you tried a little more. Another site perhaps. Rewording your query perhaps.
Whether or not I drink soda (or any member for that matter) I find to be nothing more than a distraction issue. Keep trying! Shall I give you my links?
Would that be considered "wholesome"?
Best of my knowledge...viagra isn't an herb.
