Ever occur to you that the Holy Spirit speaks through man today?

The Holy Spirit can speak through man today, has done so in the past. He also speaks to each and every one of us, as we read God's word, as we pray, as we live.

I'm not advocating drinking, in fact, I'm against it. However, it seems that the horse here has been dead a long time. Continuing to flog it isn't going to change anyone's mind here, let the Holy Spirit do His work:

"But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;" (Titus 3:9,10)

Brother, you've made your point, many times over. Let the Lord work now, He's quite capable of pricking the conscience of those who are not doing as He would have them.
