I agree with RoscoesMommy42. Jesus came for the sinners, none of us is perfect in God's eyes, and he will make us into the person he wants us to be, but it may not happen overnight. I really believe that it's important to look at our own weaknesses and not dwell on the weaknesses of others. Your friend probably feels guilty about his drinking, and I think he should be reminded that God loves him regardless. I believe the Bible is the living word of God, and we should always pray for wisdom in it's interpretation, so little quotes here and there to prove a point seem to be a petty use of God's word. So Yes is my answer, but his life here on earth might be Hell. |
