is it a sin to drink energetic drinks?

[DamianWarS]

hmmm.... because they produce "soft" bones ? and cavities (teeth).... and "soft" (less healthy) nervous system ....

no, because they have no alcohol.

"laboratory tests ... have proven that babies who start drinking soda during that early formative period have a much higher chance of gaining acceptance and 'fitting in' during those awkward pre-teen and teen years."

... 'fitting in' in an evil society .... not sure that's a good thing....


also, "fake/false reporting" was already a 'thing' back then, thru today... for profit - follow the money....

Why for YOU would it be a sin? no

If you have one handy
Love is described in the Bible.

Sometimes it's like giving lessons around here.

Nature of the language. Love as described in the Bible is quite a different thing to the sort of love that we hope to feel.

i drink it everyday

I wouldn't be so much concerned as to whether it is a sin or not and more concerned over whether drinking energy drinks every day does a lot of damage to your health.

 

[S.O.J.I.A.]

what makes you think it would be?

why?

 

[lambofgod43985889]

No. But may not be good for your health.

why my health is involved?

you are being no reverent with the word of god

we are called to "fit in" so that we may proclaim the gospel. Being estranged to our mission is no benefit at all. soda or energy drinks have their limits but if we are too busy looking after our own inabilities to control ourselves then we have lost the focus somewhere and that's a problem.

Somewhere along the way we have become so self-absorbed that we have forgotten about our mission and it has become all about filling ourselves. Paul tells us "To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings." here Paul is a slave to his mission and identifies a focus first on the mission then the blessing returns to him. Today we think the best approach is to make ourselves better before we go out, in short, we flip Paul's approach.

In regards to Soda or energy drinks... well Paul also informs us of this saying "whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." So who's glory are you trying to build by consuming or by not consuming energy drinks? Because I'll submit that if our goal is too self-focused then it doesn't matter what you do it's all misses the point even if it for health reasons.

No.

Now if you wait a minute or two more, I'll go read the rest of the post.

Non-sequitur. What does this have to do with anything being discussed ?

 

[yeshuaslavejeff]

If that happened to you and those with you, stop. Cease, be still and know that God is God.

No.

Some do, some don't. Again, if you or those with you do, stop. Cease, and know that God is God. Trust Him to deliver you and all with you.

Pray continually and follow Jesus. Do as the Father says.

Non-sequitur. Not related to anything happening that I saw in this discussion or thread.

i drink it everyday

I laughed a little when reading this. I came to think of:

"Martha, Martha you worry about all these things, when one thing is necessary."

You know, we can worry about all these small things in life. I say, don't worry about it. Go out and share the gospel with people, that is what God wants you to do.

Drinking lots of energetic drinks, or coffee, or coke may not be good for us. God wants us to treat our body right. So that is something to have in mind, but I don't see it as sin.

why my health is involved?

I said, "may" because I don't know. But anything that is hard on the body may be harmful in the long run. Alchohol, drugs, and chemicals added to food, over the long run have shown damaging effects to the body. I don't know what is in the energy drinks, but it seems possible.
