Hey, Reepicheep! Where can I get some of that Newcastle Brown ale?
Beer drinkin' buddies?

I was joking, which I thought was obvious, but I guess not.... I hate beer and ale.Beer drinkin' buddies?

1. Frankly, I don't care about the booze, but I did send your Lutheran booze link to a friend letting him know that he would fit in at a Lutheran church.As Dr. Mark U. Edwards, Jr. notes, “Luther had his way” and the “peasants were brutally suppressed.” Estimates of those slaughtered range from 100,000 to 300,000.
Lutherans Are The Biggest Boozers Among Protestant Christians, Poll Finds
Lutherans have the highest percentage of drinkers among Protestant denominations, according to a LifeWay Research poll concerning Protestant views on alcohol.dailycaller.com
What would happen to a Luteran Clergy if he preached against alcohol?
I'm very careful of alcoholic drinks. My Daddy, rest his soul, left this world from his own alcoholism.Hi Tert--this thread is in response to something Reepicherp wrote, tongue in cheek, on the SEP board, about averaging:
- "Covid Takes Another Bite Out of US Life Expectancy" Common corpse maths.
As others have already pointed out, Nouveau's claim is nonsensical, so there is no need to post a rebuttal. This seems to be a good thread to post an update of US life expectancy for the past few years: 78.9 years - 2014 78.8 years - 2015 DOWN 0.1 78.7 years - 2016 DOWN 0.1 78.6 years - 2017...forums.carm.org
I jokingly asked where I could find that ale--but I too was speaking tongue in cheek, as I loathe beer and ale. I enjoy a glass of wine once in awhile, but that is all.
Well, I have a glass a few days a week. Just one glass. Nothing more. Even Jesus drank, and His enemies called Him a drunkard. So, obviously, enjoying a glass of wine now and then is not a sin. It is abusing alcohol that is.I'm very careful of alcoholic drinks. My Daddy, rest his soul, left this world from his own alcoholism.
My doctor doesn't seem to think I'm telling the truth when I tell him I have a glass of wine now and then. That means once or twice a year. I'm guessing folks like you and I are not normal.
I've lost close family and friends to drugs and alcohol... and I've also lost friends and family to generally not taking care of themselves. A very sad example of this was an older overweight person in my church that was having a lot of knee pain. The church prayed for the person in corporate prayer. While the prayer was meaningful and God-glorifying, the other part of this should have been elder (or friends and family) intervening to help this person lose weight... because the excessive weight was one of the major factors making the knees hurt! Eventually this person lost a lot of mobility and died from a number of weight and general health complications. I've got a good Christian friend now going through the same weight / knee issue.I'm very careful of alcoholic drinks. My Daddy, rest his soul, left this world from his own alcoholism.

We don't do that in our church. Some of us just go out to lunch after services, no alcoholic libations involved. But people in a lot of different churches do that, as well.I don't know. But if the answer isn't "Lutherans of German ancestry who were born in rural Saskatchewan", I'm sure we could give the winners a run for their money.
Incidentally, a group of us at church have started following the fine German tradition of going for Frühschoppen after our Sunday service. A great tradition, look it up.
As an aside: the 2022 Lutheran Church Canada Synodical Convention will be held here in Edmonton in two months time. I've been given the responsibility of purchasing the wine for the opening communion service. I can imagine no greater honour.

The older I get, the more I see, like Luther "that the strength of Scripture is this, that it is not changed into him who studies it, but that it transforms its lover into itself and its strengths." The gist is that the Scriptures is not the object of our interpretation, but we are the object as Scriptures interpret us. Food, drink, people, objects, health, children, jobs... anything... can be appreciated and loved to the glory of God, or it can be that which is abused and used for the remnant of sin that still dwells in us. Scripture reads us as we read it and points out those areas, maybe it's alcohol, maybe it's Dunkin Donuts!
I would hardly call a beer extreme alcohol and if your other apparent emphasis is on Lutherans because more Lutherans imbibe than other protestant communities big deal. We also enjoy our coffee. If drinking to excess isn't the delimiter than you have no case. Some Lutherans are also guilty of consuming lutefisk and cigars but these things may disgust some, they are not sins. Perhaps you can post an sensational topic about the protestant denomination with the most extreme coffee snobs and quilt-makers?Beer drinkin' buddies?

If you're not misrepresenting the author then he is not much of a historian.As Dr. Mark U. Edwards, Jr. notes, “Luther had his way” and the “peasants were brutally suppressed.” Estimates of those slaughtered range from 100,000 to 300,000.
The use of alcohol is not a sin so it may be suggested that he study the Bible and spend more time in sermon preparation.What would happen to a Luteran Clergy if he preached against alcohol?
Ja, that's the real deal.The gist is that the Scriptures is not the object of our interpretation, but we are the object as Scriptures interpret us.
Lutefisk gets a bum rap.It just needs some hot sauce.I would hardly call a beer extreme alcohol and if your other apparent emphasis is on Lutherans because more Lutherans imbibe than other protestant communities big deal.

Why not? I like to get to the bottom of these things and set the record straight.
I have never had nor seen it, but depending on initial investigation of aroma, appearance, texture and consistency, I am usually game to try things on their own and unadulterated. Hot sauce is a nice compliment to many foods. The two variations of hot sauce I am inclined to enjoy emphasize either vinegar or a fruit forward profile. 90% of the time i choose the vinegar option. In was going to order some online to try it, to my surprise, their is a producer here in TX, but the minimum order was ~$50, so I declined.Lutefisk gets a bum rap.It just needs some hot sauce.
Yes, that is best! On the other hand, as a lousy cook I have found that hot sauce can make anything palatable.I have never had nor seen it, but depending on initial investigation of aroma, appearance, texture and consistency, I am usually game to try things on their own and unadulterated.
Have you come across a guide which indicates which is which? Maybe you could do a Lutheran's guide to hot sauce?Hot sauce is a nice compliment to many foods.

It is the abuse of alcohol that is a sin.Alcohol use is not a sin.

Ja, concupiscence is sin. It is just as Moses and Paul wrote.It is the abuse of alcohol that is a sin.
