Actually the topic of this thread is and I quote "Can You Be Christian And Straight Edge?"

ROFL..How the hell can it NOT be about Straight Edge when it's written right there in the question??

C'mon man, seriously, I've read some of your other posts. You're a very intelligent and educated person.

"How Christianity views and deals with alcohol" is another TOPIC, maybe related to this, but another issue none the less. I would love to see this issue as it's own thread.

the title of the thread is that. The topic is actually the issues that come with christianity's view of alcohol and how it's in opposition with the straight edge view of alcohol use. It doesn't need it's own thread, it just needs you to read more than just the title, since the topic goes far deeper than just the title.

No, actually I think that WAS the problem, by page 36 some how or another I became severely confused.

LOL! Why didn't you just tell me to go back to page one? I'm with ya now.

Except for one thing..I see contradiction on both sides of this argument.

It may be a while, I'm gathering facts to back up my points.

A Christian can be sXe, but since sXe is rooted in the non-conservative and non-mainstream hardcore scene, there might be some conflicts of ideology there.

The whole debate about whether Catholics can take communion and be sXe is a whole other can of worms, and a discussion I'm frankly sick of having. It's my personal opinion that if it comes to that, a person would have to choose between sXe and Catholicism, but many others disagree. My opinion is probably tainted by my bias against organized religion, which is of course a contradiction since sXe could be seen by many to be a similar organized commitment to ideals.

Did you even read the thread? Why do you think a christian can be straight edge, in light of the scriptural issues brought up in the thread?

you have very valid points there...please just read the thread from the beginning, you don't have to read it all way through, it's pretty repetitive.

no.....the fact that it should be common sense is what makes it petty

everything you need to know is right in the bible....people keep asking all these questions like "so why is there wine in church etc etc" it doesnt say anywhere in the bible that you have to drink and it doesn't condone getting drunk. it says matthew 24:48 "But if you are evil and say to yourself, 'My lord won't be coming for a while,' and begin opressing your fellow servants, partying and getting drunk, your Lord will arrive unannounced and unexpected, and severely whip you and send you off to the judgement of the hypocrites; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth". And in church, you don't even have to drink the wine if you don't want to.
And whoever's saying "but Jesus drank so I don't like him" well have fun with that I know other people that are straightedge and a few people in courage crew who are still friends with people that drink occasionally. As long as you follow what you think or know is right in your heart and still stay strong with your own personal choices, I really don't see how it can be a problem.
