do you think its ok to play sports on sunday?

i know God doesn't want us to get drunk or to work on sunday and so I stopped getting drunk or working on sunday but i was wondering what everyone here thought of doing something like playing golf on sunday. do you think The Lord approves or disaproves?

 

i don't think the Lord cares if you play golf on Sunday. It is work? Or is it restful?

and about getting drunk, i havn't read anywhere in the word not to get drunk on Sunday, but i did read that we are not to get drunk, period. We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit, sober minded and always ready to give an answer about our salvation through God's Grace. C'mon Chief, I'm sure you know this stuff, are you just posting questions to get reactions or are you sincerely wanting answers??I am beginning to think that most of your posts are strictly for sarcastic purposes and that you're pretending. I would personally like to get to know you for who you really are, take the mask off and shine brother!

 

seahorse, jesus turned water into wine at the wedding feast so he must endorse drinking

 

i know, it was His first miracle. And, he tells us to drink a LITTLE wine for our stomach's sake. He's obviously not against drinking, but He is against drunkeness.

 

Sunday is set aside as a day of television and masturbation.

 

hahaha..the religion all my dutch relatives follow allows nothing to be done on sundays aside from reading, sleeping, certain boardgames, eating and singing psalters. Its not really my thing, but *shrugs* w/e floats your boat. The thing I try to follow about that stuff is the part I read that says that if one mans heart convicts him to not eat meat, but anothers heart tells himself its ok, thenn both are right in following their eating /noneating habits. Does not eating make the one that eats stumble in their walk with god? Does me personally going for coffee with friends on sunday make my cousins stumble? no. I think that its a personal discision ad as long as you stick to the basics gods set out, and follow your won convictions, its all good.

 

yes, but he did make the wine for a wedding and we all know how folks drink at weddings

 

Can anyone clear up the line between drinking and being drunk? I know there's a difference, but the 'line not to be crossed' seems a little grey. I would hope the placement of that line would not be established while one was drinking.

 

that line is different for everyone and we should all be wise enough to draw the lines appropriately. Alcohol is for mature adults who have self control.

 

ditto... seahorse, you and i finally agree, immature people have no business getting drunk

 

Well then with all the drinking I've done, I'm going to hell. As for playing sports, why not? It's been done since the dawn of sports.

 

it was not only called a wedding but a "wedding feast"... there is a general overconsumption at feasts for all times and not just "modern"... i don't think it is at all a stretch of reasoning that folks were doing some serious partying at the wedding feast at caanan

 

i wasn't saying that getting drunk is only for mature adults, i was saying ALCOHOL is for mature adults. Drunkenness is not for anyone.

 

a rhetorical question: do you think its ok for God to get drunk?

 

God is not a human. Getting drunk is a stupid thing that humans do. Where do you come up with these questions?

 

if you have an issue with sports on sunday then maybe something is trying to tell you something.
Otherwise who's up for a game of hockey?

Drunk? Eat, drink and be merry.

when are you actually drunk? be legal driving standards? around 2 drinks? People that dont fdrink that have a drink will most likely catch a buzz off it, is that drunk? if so then how can you have a little wine for the stomach without feeling it?

Again if your having a problem with drinking take the hint.

otherwise who's up for a rye and ginger.

 

ditto.... or should i say "bottoms up"

 

Seahorse, i think if you asked people around the world (without telling them that this was God) if this Person was human?, they would say He was... and too, we are made in God's image so and so He is in a sense human.

My point is, if you were a bartender, at what point would you cut God off?... I think a drunk God could be a real problem and something we all should seriously think about

 

or how much drink would be too much drink for God... and ocean of liquor?

 

which raises another interesting theological point

"can God sin?"

"is God bound by the laws that He makes?"
