Aren't herbs (plants) mentioned in the Holy Bible as being given to us for medicine ?

Also those who condemn all consumption of alcohol forget that Jesus Christ Himself changed the water into wine, and Paul recommended a cup of wine for the digestion.

There is nothing wrong in the proper use or consumption of what gifts God has provided ; it is the ABUSE that is the problem.

Lastly, many , if not most, employers ask about health and medicinal history. Before condemning the man , all should realize that those medical question are used to negatively screen candidates. Persons who have suffered certain injuries, especially back injury, are quietly but most effectively discriminated against, in the fear that they will claim new injury and get monetary awards. It can actually be easier for an paroled felon to secure a new job through gov't/private programs than a person who has a chronic health problem

How can this possibly even be legal??

I had always been informed that a potential employer is prohibited by law to ask my exact age, if I have children, their ages, my maritial status, etc.

That was just grape juice, don't you know? I got kicked out of Sunday school class many years ago for asking how they kept it from fermenting.

Quasi-scriptural arguments don't come flimsier than this. If you want to force the issue, you lose big time. According to the Bible, Jesus drank wine. Paul drank wine. Neither smoked a joint.

Next!

Besides, you will find few people who call themselves Christians that "condemn all consumption of alcohol." Don't be silly.
