Because "recent studies" have found that even one sunburn has significant potential for cancerous consequences. 🤔
Just an aside…

The prevalence of melanoma appears to be linked to consumption of seed oils (canola, sunflower, etc.).

Seed oils are in fact absolutely horrible for us. I completely quit the use of them for a little over a year and can confirm I no longer got sunburn while spending a day in the boat. They are found in almost everything. Some are worse than others of course olive oil being the least harmful probably.

I don’t see Mediterranean people having this problem, they consume gallons of Olive oil. :)

Yea I’m sure it’s the highly processed vegetable oils we have in the states that cause the most issues. It’s crazy to see how many foods we have here that are just illegal in other countries. I’ve found that if I stick to what He provides(meat, fruit, vegetables) and not what man tries to improve(aka make more money off of) I feel way better overall. Smoother skin, no inflammation or soreness, no indigestion, etc…

No, not at all. I believe false doctrine SHOULD be pointed out and condemned, and I agree with you that drinking isn't the problem but drunkenness is.

When I said "Condemning people to hell for [insert man-made unBiblical law here] is the problem.", I was referring to the man-made law that claims consuming any amount of alcohol sends people straight to hell. It is wrong, it is false, and it should be shunned whether coming from a person or a church. I hope that helps clarify what I meant.



Ah, I see! Thanks for explaining.
Who said, "the man-made law that claims consuming any amount of alcohol sends people straight to hell? "

I haven't read every post, but have most of them. While some of us said beverage alcohol is drunk for the purpose of the unnatural feeling it imparts, others said it's sinful. A couple of us said Jesus did not bring a keg to the drunks at a keg party marriage reception. That would make Him a sinner..He never committed sin. I don't recall that anyone said "consuming any amount of alcohol sends people straight to hell. "
There's some false gospelizers who teach sinless perfection. We are supposed to mark and avoid them, so please share who that is.
 
Thanks. I think I've run across one of them.
They shouldn't be misleading people on the gospel. The consequences are forever..
Yes but the problem is convincing them they’re wrong. Someone who believes they’re perfect aren’t likely to change their belief. Pride has taken complete control. It will usually take God humbling them which usually isn’t the most enjoyable option.

I use the extra virgin olive oil in a dark glass bottle, and also unrefined coconut oil. Love both of them!

Whenever we get food outside, you can definitely taste the difference.

Alcohol is one of the biggest health destroyers out there.
Drinking in moderation was recommended as a positive health habit for several decades.
It's now considered a myth by many researchers.

Politically motivated point from the Left, I’m sure! Even God tells us to drink a little wine for health…..

-"No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for your stomach’s sake and your frequent infirmities."
I Timothy 5:23 NKJV

The most important part of any study is to look at who paid for it. Most studies aren’t done out of charity or the general well being of humans. If Coca Cola pays for a study showing high fructose corn syrup is healthy or that Pepsi is unhealthy you can throw that study out. If a politician has anything to do with a study it can be thrown out. Always have to follow the money.
 
These were people void of Truth so just because they claim Jesus was drinking booze does not mean He actually was.

It cannot be proven from scripture that Jesus actually drank alcohol as the word wine simply means fruit of the vine and does not designate whether it's fermented or not.

Of course people that like to drink the booze claim Jesus was a drunk so they can feel good about themselves being drunkards.

That's why people drink booze so they can get their buzz on which is being a drunkard which is sinful behavior that God's Word says causes some to not be allowed in to God's Kingdom:

Galatians 5:19-21
Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,
Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Due to the false doctrines of so called once saved always saved people think Galatians 5:19-21 is not applicable to them but they are in error.

Nobody is condoning drunkenness. Blessings!

So true, but in this case we don’t need any studies, we have God’s word!

In general if we can take what He gives us directly meaning salt, plant life and animal life, and prepare drink or food in our own house without having to have lab equipment its generally safe to consume. There are some exceptions with plants since they can be poisonous. A few raw kidney beans for instance can put you in the hospital.

@HigherGospel

Regarding your feelings about alcohol. You presented some studies done by man about consequences of drinking.
Are you inclined to trust unbelieving scientists or is it just a fleeting dalliance. I'm kind of shocked that one who claims to be a follower of Christ would use science to support his doctrine.

Furthermore, you didn't even cite one alcohol study from the scriptures! How careless! How can I take you seriously if you don't cite the Biblical alcohol studies? Any serious Christian would love the whole truth yet you seem content to only offer the wisdom of man as proof of your beliefs.
I hope people could see through my thinly veiled sarcastic post. :cool:

It could be an issue of cold-pressed oil vs. Heat-pressed or chemically extracted. Heat and chemicals produce the best yields but the product is not as pure. I'll have to look in to it more.
