One of the master strokes of deceit which satan has been able to put over on millions of people--including many Christians--is the clever whitewashing of the sin of drunkenness, dressing it up, twisting it around, and palming it off as the "disease" of "alcoholism"!

If satan can just deceive sinners into thinking that they are not sinners, but just unfortunate victims of a "disease," who deserve sympathy and treatment and acceptance--what more would satan want? No sinner will be led to repent of his sin so long as he and others call it mere "sickness".

We all know and agree that habitual drunkenness causes various kinds of bad or diseased conditions in the body. In fact, a large number of sins have an obviously bad effect upon the body and the brain.

Now ordinarily, intelligent people can easily distinguish between a sin or crime and the various kinds of bad results of that sin or crime; but the amazing thing is that in recent years satan has successfully brainwashed the public and many Christians so that they confuse the sin itself with the bad physical and mental results!

I have in my files much documentary proof that many people are flatly denying that drunkenness ("Alcoholism"--repeated drunkenness) is a sin or moral problem at all; they claim it is solely a medical or psychological or psychiatric problem, a sickness or disease--and that's all!

And the shame is that some of the leading preachers and college professors have taught this.

Now brethren, God in His Word is absolutely authoritative and infinitely wise, and He has made it perfectly plain to all those not blinded by the "foolishness" of man's wisdom, that drunkenness is a sin, a "work of the flesh," that will keep one out of eternal salvation, if he does not truly repent of it--and that means stop it!

If you will study the following statement from God, and believe and exalt them to the place of supreme authority over all of man's notions, there is not a doubt as to what conclusion you must draw.

Please study every verse of these: 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Galatians 5:19-21;
