God really doesn't mind if we eat, drink and be merry from time to time.

I agree, but I think God does care HOW we make merry. Do you have more fun drinking beer and watching football with a group of men, or spending time with your wife and daughter? Can you make merry without drinking, gambling, etc.?

Yo Mack. When do you want me to begin posting my notes from the "Hebraic Roots of Christianity" seminar I attended this weekend? :-)

Sure.

Different things. To everything there is a season.

If you wish. The point is that God wants us to be happy. He doesn't want us worrying if we are somehow being greedy if we go out to dinner.
