I didn't want this thread to turn into a debate about alcohol. I admit I worried it would happen because so many Christians, like I said, seem to defend it. Maybe we should all agree to disagree on that topic.
If alcohol use violates your conscience as to being wrong, you are not incorrect to decide that you will not drink. Don't impose your own conviction on others though because the Bible doesn't forbid drinking.
God's Word says to flee from the appearance of evil. I'm not imposing my conviction onto anyone, I gave my opinion based on my personal conviction but also based on the Scripture I mentioned above. It was a matter of disagreement. We can't expect to agree on everything. Let's change the subject?
Not agree to disagree. But we should refer to what God's Word has said on the matter.
Right and if we want to following Scripture than however much we don't want to ourselves we must admit that alcohol use is not wrong according to the Scriptures.
Now keeping with the OP there are many other instances of true liberal evilness sneaking into all Churches.

You can't just take one verse and blanket that verse onto everything. The Bible verses are clear as far as matters of conscience and right and wrong, and Christians who decide to be vegetarian and those that choose not to, and also matters of alcohol use. Romans Ch 14 covers this well. Read it.
