SATURDAYUnderstandingWhat We ReadTHE HOUSE OF THE LORD“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of Goddwelleth in you? If a man defi le the temple of God, him shall God destroy”(I Cor 3:16,17). What is Paul referring to? Is he telling us that drinking acan of beer or using tobacco will defi le us in God’s eyes? No! We are notadvising one to participate in such activity, but when I hear religious leaderstelling us use of tobacco or alcohol is a sin, something is not spiritual.Jesus himself drank wine. Are we going to call Jesus a sinner? There is away to become drunken without consuming an alcoholic beverage. “Theyare drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.”(Is29:9) This verse is referring to spiritual drunkenness. This is the type ofdrunkenness that defi les man-drunk with false religion. Man, throughouthistory, thinks he knows how to please God, but does he? “This peopledraweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with lips; buttheir heart is far from me. But in vain they worship me, teaching for doctrinesthe commandments of men”(Matt 15:8-9). Example: the trinity doctrine,three gods in one, man-made or biblical? Beware, when God clearly tellsus there are no other gods but one! To adhere to any other teaching isblasphemous to God himself. “Not that which goeth into the mouth defi letha man; but that which cometh out of the mouth defi leth a man. For out of theheart(mind) proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts,false witness, blasphemies; these are the things which defi le a man”(Matt15:8-20). The problem with those that are spiritually drunk is that they donot even know they are drunk with false religion. BEWARE of false religion.Second Advent Christian Church615 S.
