Everyone will have to excuse my postings concerning both the coaches and the sale of alcoholic beverages. There's a reason I feel the way I do and I find myself not being objective concerning the subject. I just won't post anything else concerning the subject. Carry on.

I say sell it.Why does some one always bring up that the wine Jesus drank only grape juice?I mean he could have turned water into coca-cola if he wanted to.Some people who go to church every Sunday may also like a drink now and then.Just because you drink that does not make you a drunk.

I agree... Sell it anytime. TN is the one getting the tax benefits since people drive east ridge or so to purchase on Sunday..

Not everyone who buys alcohol is a drunk. I personally like to have a Pale Ale with a good meal. Not necessarily 6 of them. I am personally annoyed when I decide to cook out on a Sunday and would like to enjoy the taste of a good beverage, then realize that my local churches have convinced the state government that I cannot. Well, I personally have dedicated Wednesdays to be my drinking days, so can I pass a law closing churches on that day? Or is my status as a citizen less than those who hold high council in the church? Legalize the sale of alcohol anytime, any day.

The sale of alcohol on Sunday is regulated by what we call the blue laws and there are many states that still enforce them.
Just remember that Prohibition didn't stop drinking, it just made people drink in private clubs.

if the fair tax law goes into effect, then you will see sunday sales approved. i think that the only reason that sunday sales have been restricted so far is due to the lingering wishes of the moral majority. i dont see anything wrong with keeping the sales prohibited on sundays. i think that it should be taken a step further and satuday sales restricted too! ( man, would that start something or what?)

My opinion is fairly simple: sell the alcohol anytime, anywhere if it's going to be sold. I only object when we ourselves don't practice our beliefs. There are too many religions that hold different days holy - if they hold any day holy. If I want to keep Saturday holy, that's the day I shouldn't go out to eat, buy alcohol, go to work, and etc. The same would be true if Sunday were the holy day for me.

It would never be correct to be dominated by any substance, possession, person, etc., except for Jehovah God. So to be a drunk just doesn't fit anymore than being a gambler fits with what God wants for me. However, I also believe that we all fight our demons. They might be addictions; any kind of sicknesses. They might be flaws that get in the way of positive choices. On and on - you know this could get lengthy - but since we are human, we will have to fight to stay close to God or get closer to God.

My job is to pray for the drunk so he'll get sober, get a relationship with God, take care of his family, and help the next drunk. Meanwhile, God will teach me how to go further than just praying for the drunk until I'm involved in all sorts of ways. Why would God make us all special and unique if we weren't able to help one another? Or learn from one another - the negatives and the positives? And then someday, the drunk might turn around and help me do something I'd never get done without him/her.

Alcohol isn't going to go away. None of those things will go away. Human nature is human nature. Laws dictating behavior fail over and over. Those laws separate folks into polarized opposite camps divided by a chasm. And instead of people trying to help one another, the great divide creates opportunity for people to hate or turn away from one another in disgust.

There goes peace and love.... right out the window....

CSS4, people should remember that in many European countries they drink wine with their meals. One reason is the water quality in many areas is not that good. They are not drunks. I agree with you about the drinking and gambling. I have seen people go from store to store scratching lottery tickets. Of course they could be going out of state to the casinos. I would rather see the money spent here.

The 10% alcohol reference is not in Scripture, but from those who have studied the manners and customs of that day. I suggest you check out John MacArthurs' commentary on Ephesians. In the section on Ephesians 5:18, he explains in detail how the wine was preserved through boiling into a syrup and about the mixing with water.

He also poses several questions to help us determine if consuming today's wine/alcohol is a wise decision in light of the command in Ephesians 4:1 to walk worthy of our calling. We have the freedom to do many things, but they are not always the best choice.

CSS4, you make some very good points. Guess those who devour the buffets have forgotten that gluttony is also a sin.

Some have mentioned that the wine used by Jesus was only 10% alcohol. Would someone please remind me of the exact scripture where that recipe was recorded. I can't seem to find it.

In addition, would someone also explain to me where the refrigerators were mentioned in the Bible. If the wine was that weak, they must have kept it refrigerated or it would surely have fermented in that middle eastern heat.

I'm really having a difficult time finding these scriptures. Noah must have really consumed a tremendous amount of this 10% alcoholic wine when he got drunk and passed out.

I believe what people are missing is that, if this wine was close to the wine we have today, the Bible usually mentions that people drank the wine with their meals. When drinking wine with a meal one is less likely to become influenced by the alcohol content.

Drinking alcohol is not a sin. Over-indulging in alcohol, or anything else, is the sin. Purchasing a lottery ticket, or any other type of gambling, is not a sin. But, when you spend your entire payday on lottery tickets and your bills go unpaid and your kids go without food, then it becomes a sin.

Ironically, the same people who want Sunday alcohol sales and lottery tickets banned pack the local buffet restaurants every Sunday after church.

Not everyone is a Christian and even those who are don't stop drinking on Sunday. As for closing all stores onSunday, ain't going to happen in this day and age when people are working all hours and days of the week. Sometimes Sunday is the only day they can shop. If we close store, people will just go to TN where stores are open just like they do to buy liquor.

I think if we want or need to see no alcohol sales on Sunday to be based on a religous reason, then as Christians you must also believe that not only alocohol sales should be banned on Sundays, but all STORES should just be closed. The Sabbath is a day of rest...why do it only half-way. Either you believe the day is for the Lord or not. I think its silly to ban alcohol sales, but think any other business is fine on Sunday. That is my biblical view.

Now, to jump to the other side of the debate.......who cares what everyone does? If you disagree with Sunday alcohol sales, then just know that you do not support it and leave everyone else alone. Go to Church, come home and rest..be with your family and do what you truly believe should be done on the Sabbath. Remember that banning sales on Sunday does not keep people from drinking on Sunday. I keep a stock of wine and beer in my house. Just some thoughts for both sides.

Don't really have a dog in this fight. But, I don't see a problem with the selling of alcohol being bought in the state of Georgia 24/7. Just want the buyer to be of age and be responsible. Now that's the real problem.

Romegasir,
I was simply providing some information about what a real Jew had to say about wine, Israel and drinking wine. I thought it was interesting and wanted to pass it on to others. I do that every now and then. My sister has provided all sorts of interesting things from Jerusalem. I wish she didn't live there. But since she does, if she has something neat to say, I pass it on here and at other places. I didn't actually offer my own opinion about Sunday sales yet.

Now I'll try and answer your inquiry. If a person is a Christian, they are obligated to read the bible if it's available to them. And we believe that we are enlightened as we gain knowledge and come closer with God. The process and pace is different for each one of us just like everything in life that is personal is an individual thing. Prayer really helps with this process.

When the wedding happened and the wine ran out, Jesus' mother told him that they had no wine. (For those of you who read the bible, I'm looking at John 2.) Jesus told his mother that he was not ready yet. So his mother told the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to do. And, Jesus told them exact directions. Then the wedding continued with more wine. Later in the story, tha master of the banquet told the bridegroom that the best wine had been saved for last!

Romegasir, this does not tell us that Jesus drank the wine; only that he made it. I think that gives us somewhat of an assumption that wine must be okay. I don't know for a fact - it's an idea. But it also gives me an idea that like my sister and Samson, a biblical strongman with belief issues, maybe Jesus did not actually use alcohol himself. There are lots of Jews who never used or use alcohol. Again, I don't know. I only know that from the bible, Jesus did not sin. If a person is a Christian, that person believes that Jesus did not sin.

For most Christians there is an even bigger story here than the 'water into wine' story. We talk about it in discussions like these, but it's almost a shame because the bigger story is the better one. To really elaborate more, I'm sure everyone would rather I move over to the 'Faith' site so I will if you want to expand this. But, this, along with other sections of Jesus' timeline, tells us how Jesus revealed himself to the world. In John 2:4 Jesus told his mother, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come." KJV In the NIV, the quote is, "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour is not yet come."

Jesus did not want the world to know who he was yet. You asked, "why didn't God make soda, juice, or even more miraculous a nectar of the gods?" When Jesus turned the water into wine, this "was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples put their faith in him." John 2:11 NIV
Christians believe that faith is our cornerstone. Jesus didn't come into this world with blaring trumpets - not yet - that's for his return. (he he he he) We believe that God is perfect and so what happened with Jesus is also perfect. Jesus had a select few begin his church and look what happened? We're here thousands of years later talking about water turned into wine. But it really goes back to how Jesus began His recruitment, ministry and salvation of the world.

ringgoldone, I agree with your post wholeheartedly, the only problem is this, if you assert that drinking one alcoholic beverage is a sin, we can't forgot that government is not here to keep us from sinning.....in fact, God wanted us to have the choice to sin or not sin. Lots of people violate the law by beating their wives and kids while they're sober, stopping them from buying alcohol one day a week is hardly a disincentive to beat your wife.....may make some alcoholics beat them more. msla, my only question to christians who always say what you just said is ... why didn't jesus turn the water into purified water? or soda, juice, or even more miraculous a nectar of the gods......before you say that it's because wine is what people drank in those days, then I would point out that when the Jews were starving God rained down manna, not lamb or grain, manna.

My sister lives in Jerusalem and has for a long time. She is an Orthodox Jew (converted years ago in the states) and is a graduate student in ancient Jewish religion. To her, Jesus is considered a prophet. When asked about the water to wine, she responded that it's common to drink wine instead of water because the water is not purified. So the wine is safer. That's not just in the Middle East. It's common in Europe, Asia, the Soviet Union and elsewhere to drink something besides the water. We Americans don't realized how good we have it. She said it has been getting better in these modern days so it's now more of a cultural thing in a lot of places. Also, they didn't do the fermentation like it is today. It was completely natural and not a 'commercial process.' So looking back on the wine is sort of like looking at a liquid like a cider - it didn't taste like cider - it's just that it's kind of like at that level, if you can imagine it that way.

I thought this was interesting and wanted to pass it on. She didn't offer an opinion on others drinking or not drinking as she keeps her body completely holy. In her religion, it's kind of like what Samson did - no alcohol at all.

If we are going to use Jesus as our example, then we know He never sinned. So, we know He never drank enough to be considered under the influence of alcohol. And as you pointed out, they would have had to consume a great deal of wine to become drunk - in excess.

The problem is that we don't have any alcoholic beverage weak enough to compare to what they drank in Jesus' day. I have seen too many people influenced by one wine cooler or beer, so that would be in excess.

The second issue is the harm that can come from being under the influence. Children and women are abused. People die in car accidents. Is it worth the risk?

Lastly, we don't need it. We have excellent water, and plenty of other non-alcoholic beverages.

Bottom line - it is not a wise decision to drink alcohol.

Ringgoldone...did my own research and found that you're partially right in that the wine of that time was weaker in alcohol content than today's wine because of the addition of yeast and sugar. However, some interesting points came up in my research. There are over 250 references to wine in the Bible and several of them warn to not use wine in excess, thereby showing that it was possible to get drunk off the wine of the time. i guess the alcohol content of the wine was one of the reasons that it was used in festivals, celebrations, weddings, etcetcetc, including the Last supper. So, since Jesus drank an alcoholic beverage, I assume that it is okay to drink an alcoholic beverage, so long as it's not in excess. So, once again, christians make up their own rules and impose them on others.

So Jesus only turned water into 10% wine and 90% water? Why didn't he just turn 10% of the water into pure wine and then mix it with the remaining 90% water? By the way, growing up in church I've heard that wine in those days was non-alcoholic, or that they were forced to drink alcohol because of no cool storage, etc etc, have never heard that wine in those days was diluted with water. It seems that if they could make wine, they wouldn't want to mix it with water. Where is the evidence of this?

Jesus did turn water into wine. However, the wine of that time was 1 part wine to 10 parts water. We have nothing today that has that little alcoholic content.

Can't use the miracle of Jesus to justify drinking alcohol. But we can look at the scripture in Ephesians that tells us not to be under the control of alcohol.

I think it is a personal choice.I think it should be sold on Sunday that way you can buy it if you want it.I know for a fact some church people buy beer and wine during the week.I don't see whats wrong with a few drinks ever now and then.I mean didn't Jesus turn water into wine for a wedding reception?I don't want people pushing their beliefs on me or deciding whats best for me.I can make my own choice.I haven't had a drink to get drunk in years but I do like a cold one now and then.

Because the folks who claim to be "Godly" have decided that it is best that you don't buy alcohol, at certain stores, on Sunday. It's really ridiculous if you think about it, but at least it has gotten better. I can remember when I first got out of the military, and thinking I had nothing to do on Sunday, then hooking up with a few friends and calling everyone we knew trying to find out who had alcohol. Of course now, I rarely drink alcohol as a source of "partying", and I usually keep a few cold ones in the fridge, but yes, on that rare occassion that I want a beer on sunday and have ran out, I shake my fist at those "godly" people who have done me the favor. (then i get in my car and head to chili's).

Is georgia the only state that bans alcohol sales on sunday? The world is slowly moving toward a capitalistic state at God's expense. Why is it such a big deal to ban alcohol sales on Sunday? The fact is stores are open on Sundays. The mall is open and I can get a beer now on sunday at outback. But why can't i get one to drink at my house?

I feel like in this day and time, with everyone going against school prayer, prayer at football games, the ten commandments in the courthouse, etc, what is the problem of serving alcohol on Sunday? I agree with what someone said about Sunday not being the only day that people go to church. Granted, it is the day the majority goes, but times are changing. I for one, am a Christian by faith but it seems to me that the whole world is changing and no one takes the day as a Holy day anymore. Most stores are open, most all of the resturants are also open on Sunday, so go ahead and make your alcohol sales, let's just hope that they take it home to drink it and not drive. I personally don't think that if you want beer on Sunday that you are an alcholic, some people have the need to relax with a beer and most of the time, it is with only one or two. I don't drink but maybe once or twice a year myself, but I would be devastated if someone told me I couldn't buy my pepsi's on Sunday. I know it is a little different, but kinda the same. Shoot, no one seems to be doing anything about the selling of drugs on Sunday, or any day, as a matter of fact, and it does worse to a person than the alcohol. Just wanted to jump in and put my two sense worth in. Have a good afternoon!

The law is watching for you.2.You are endangering yourself and anyone else that is on the road.3.Why is it wrong to buy alcoholon Sunday,but porn is readily avalible at any store.If porn was banned on Sunday,would you rush out on sat. nite to get it.If the store is open ,they should be allowed to sell any product that the law says is legal.Every-day!We can keep the sabbath holyer,if we don't have drunk drivers on the road on Sat. nite.my opinion,MM.

We may as well sell it on Sundays. We sell it all the other days of the week. It's all about religous reasons and all religous folks dont do their service on Sunday anyway. If people are going to drink on Sunday, sell it to them. Keep the money in our town instead of giving the business to Tennessee. Im a church goer on Sundays, and it dont offend me on Sundays any more than it does on Mondays. Go for it!

When do the big NASCAR races take place? Sunday! When do the NFL games take place? Sunday! I had rather people be able to purchase their alcohol on Sunday and take it home for consumption while watching their favorite sporting event than to consume it in a restaurant or bar and drive home drunk.

Besides, if it is not sold on Sunday because of a Holy day, then why are we discriminating against the Seventh Day Adventists or Jews who recognize the Sabbath from sundown on Friday until sundown on Saturday? If Holy days are the only reason for blue laws, this could eventually blow the whole weekend.

Gluttony is a major sin.. Yet most Christians sure do love there sunday buffet feeding fest. Why not ban buffets bar on Sunday?

If I go shopping on Sunday I should be allowed to buy some table wine to last me for the week.

Thanks to all of you who claim to "care" about me and that is the "real" reason that you want to continue the ban on Sunday sales.....to stop my 40 year long suicide attempt. Hows about banning all fast food restaurants on Monday?.....heck, Monday through thursday for those from Lindale. Don't you care about their health too?

Yes, I remember Lester..I met him on a number of occasions. My neighbor actually got him to sign an ax handle, if you can believe that. I wasn't referring to blue laws when I said 100 years, I was talking about Jim Crow laws.

I think economically it is a good idea, I work in the hotel industry, and many of our customers are very suprised when they arrive on saturday and find our that on Sunday they have to go to a restaraunt to imbibe. Not that they all want to party, but they want to be able to purchase some wine or drinks to enjoy while in their rooms. Why are they surprised? Because most cities do allow the sale of alchohol on Sunday. My ex used to drive to Chattanooga it seems like every Sunday to buy beer, or go to Atlanta for it. who ever mentioned that establishments may not even open on sunday is more than likely right thinking they may not want to open on Sunday.

Actually, it didn't take 100 years. The Blue Laws were put into place by Govenor Lester Madox. Remember him? He was the Georgia govenor who rode around backwards on a bicycle and used an ax handle to run black people out of his eating establishment. I have heard that it was because they were unrully and spit on his tables. If you google Lester Madox, you will find a world of info on when Georgia started it's backward trend. As for Alcohol being served on Sunday, I've noticed that people drinking in a place of business are not as likely to over do it, but when it is not available in restaurants, those who do drink will stock up for the weekend and are more likely to try to finish it off before Monday morning. That is not a statistic, it is just a personal observation. I have a drink once every 2 or three years so it doesn't matter to me.

Why Sunday...hmmmmmmm? I just couldn't imagine why Sunday would be special. Oh wait, I know, it could have to do with sunday being a christian holy day! If only there was something in the constitution that protected us against the establishment of state religion so that religious people in the majority couldn't force thier religous taboos on others. Hmmm, after doing a little research i found out THERE IS! It's called the Establishment Clause. Looks like my lifelong home state might be growing up a little. It only took 100 years after the end of slavery to end segratation..maybe they are getting around to establishment now. Hooray for Georgia!

he who drinks and drinks with grace is always welcome anyplace, but he who drinks beyond compare is never welcome anywhere. how do yall like that one? heard it once from a fellow bar patron when i was staggering drunk and it kind of sobered me up! that was a long time ago when i was a lot younger but i never forgot it and it has always stayed with me. some say that there is nothing wrong with sunday sales in resturants but the fact of the matter is after even one drink that person is intoxicated. maybe not drunk but is still intoxicated. and they have to go somewhere when they leave. they cant stay there. so in my opinion one day sober is not going to hurt anyone.

I used to drink like a fish.

Then I grew up.

But other people drinking a little doesn't bother me. I just don't like people who live for it and think it proves something about them. Anyway, enough preaching. I realized that if you took just the alcohol from the beverages and drank it, you'd be poisoning yourself. So logic dictates that drinking is poisoning oneself just enough to get off on the effects of the limited amount of poison one takes in. Well, that's the logic I used to stop it, anyway. Besides, I had just as much fun before I drank; more actually, so there was that, also. I don't miss it one bit. But if people want to drink on Sunday, it's their prerogative. Remember when Hooters was coming to town? The planet didn't burst into flames, there's no more hookers than normal, our leaders are still crooks. Life kept on keeping on.

ithink that restaurant should be able to sell alcohol on Sunday but don't see a need to sell on Sunday. Anyone who can't remember to buy enough on Saturday is drinking too much.

I think the purpose was food establishments to be able to sell. If not that is the way it should
be. Most major areas in the country do not stop on premises consumption with food on
Sunday.

Alcohol is converted by the human body into acid aldehyde.

That should be a sign of a serious drinking problem, when 7 days a week alcohol sales are needed.
Adding one more day to slowly poison one's self to death should'nt hurt.

Alcohol abuse and smoking is such slow suicide, no one seems to notice/or care until they have cirrhosis or lung cancer. Is there such a thing as partial suicide?

Don't they commit people to psyc hospitals for attempting suicide?

I agree 100%. There should be no prohibition on the sale of alcohol on Sunday. But, I would expect most of the licquor stores in Rome would close anyway. I think they want a day off just like the rest of us!
