I go to a Southern Baptist church here in KY but in Seattle I went to a large non-denomination that, for one of it’s wednesday “small group” outings, went to a bourbon bar.
And the Sunday school lesson last week was that Christians should abstain from all alcohol use. I’ve studied the subject in depth and my wife was afraid I was going to cause a scene. But I didn’t, though I brought out a couple of important points without getting into the weeds.
It’s interesting how you can inject false doctrine on people that really don’t understand scripture and see their pastor as some sort of “super” Christian and therefore believe everything he says without questioning his doctrine.
These false teachers count on the fact that 80% of Christians never read the Bible. So it’s real easy to lead them to hell.
