King James Was Against
Beer

Dave, I've got some quotes from King James, James was against beer too, feel
free to use these quotes from James (I know they're not as short, but, I
really wanted to show you them):
“Another
thing that offendeth the Realm, is abundance of Alehouses;
and therefore to avoid the giving occasion of evil, and to take away the
root, and punish the example of vice, I would have the
infamous Alehouses pulled down, and a command to all
Justices of Peace that this be done. I may complain of Alehouses, for
receipt of Stealers of my Deer; but the country may complain for
stealing their horses, oxen, and sheep; for murder, cutting of purses,
and such like offences; for these are their haunts. Devouring beasts, as
Lions and Bears, will not be where they have no dens nor covert; So
there would be no thieves, if they had not their receipts,
and these Alehouses as their dens. Another sort, are a kind
of Alehouses, which are houses of haunt and receipt for debauched rogues
and vagabonds, and idle sturd; fellows; and these are not properly
Alehouses, but base victuallers [innkeepers], such as have nothing else
to live by, but keeping houses of receipt for such kind of customers. I
have discovered a strange pack of late, That within ten or twelve miles
of London, there are ten or twelve persons that live in spite of me,
going with Pistols, and walking up and down from harbour to harbour
killing my Deer, and so shift from hold to hold, that they cannot be
apprehended.” – King James, Speech to the Star Chamber, 1616
“One thing for mine own part have I cause to thank GOD in, That if GOD
for our sins had suffered their wicked intents to have prevailed, it
should never have been spoken nor written in ages succeeding, that I had
died ingloriously in an Alehouse, a Stews, or such vile place”
– King James, Speech to the Parliament [undated]
Alcohol was primarily intended by God to be
used a medicine (1st Timothy 5:23), not to be to be deceitfully advertised
and abused as a recreational drug. Alcohol commercials always include
promiscuously dressed women, because drunkenness and fornication are nearly
synonymous. Alcohol by definition is a “narcotic,” but it is abused a
thousand times more than prescription drugs, such as Percocet. Millions of
people die around the world, families are destroyed and countless more are
permanently disabled or commit horrible crimes because of alcohol. King
James highlighted many of the same evils of alcohol in his time that are
plaguing America today. Theft is often commonplace amongst alcoholics. I
agree with King James, who's last name was also Stewart by the way...
taverns are a “vile place.” They are morally reprehensible houses of
sin. If you want to find sin, look no further than your local tavern.
King James also said something very
interesting... many people have no real job in life except to sell beer.
That is their sole source of income. It is unethical and wrong in my
opinion. I feel the same way about professional sports. I don't think anyone
should make a living playing sports, pastoring, or making music or selling
booze. In a real economy, people are expected to work (produce).
While
Americans are paying tens-of-millions of dollars for their favorite singer's
latest CD, we import most of our consumer goods from slave-labor nations
(like China and India). Every American ought to produce something tangible.
It just bothers me that U.S. music producers
can take any woman who's willing to strip naked and behave like a whore, and
then have her sing through some fancy computerized equipment they could make
Oscar-the-Grouch sound awesome, and then charge $15 per CD.
Meanwhile some
poor struggling mother is getting paid 15-cents an hour in China, working 16
hours a day in a sweat shop, with no union representation, in horrid working
conditions. To me, it is immoral in itself for anyone to make their sole
living on the sale of beer. That's why I refuse to play my steel guitar at
bars, because they want to exploit my God-given talent to sell beer. I like
playing for the elderly in nursing homes or other free functions.
I'm glad
that King James hated beer, a man after my own heart. I'm sure, beer has
cost the American people a TRILLION dollars in damages over the last
century. So much of that money could have been used to build youth centers
for America's wayward children who are busy selling illegal drugs, killing
each other, fighting over territory and loitering in the streets. The very
city leaders who criticize such rough teens
rip off
billions of dollars, scam by scam, that could be used to help them. We
always hear our city leaders talking about helping the poor, but the poor
stay poor. It's all a bunch of deceitful rhetoric.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration's (NHTSA) position on the relationship between blood alcohol
concentration and driving is that driving performance degrades after just one
drink."

As my pastor used to wisely say, you can't
take two drinks of beer if you don't take one.
It is comforting to know that the honorable King
James, who commissioned the production of the precious King James Bible,
also despised the sale of beer and publickly voiced his concerns over the
evils associated with beer. May we as Bible-believing Christians who love
the Lord Jesus Christ do the same.
The above picture speaks 1,000 words. The beer industry hypocritically
tells teens not to drink alcohol until they are 21, while those same
companies saturate American culture with booze, booze, booze!
Consequently, underaged drinking is an epidemic problem in America!

drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing.”
1st Samuel 1:15, “And Hannah answered and said, No, my lord, I am a
woman of a sorrowful spirit: I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but
have poured out my soul before the LORD.”
Proverb:20:1,
“Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and
whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”
Proverb

unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle

Isaiah 24:9, “They shall
not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink
it.”
Isaiah 28:7, “But they
also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way;
the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are
swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err
in vision, they stumble in judgment.”
“I've stood for
more sneers and scoffs and insults and had my life threatened from
one end of the land to the other by this God-forsaken gang of thugs
and cutthroats because I have come out uncompromisingly against
them.” —Billy Sunday

The Occult Roots of AA
(Alcoholic's Anonymous)
Here's a Christian alternative to
Alcoholics Anonymous...
Founded in 1948, Alcoholics
Victorious support groups offer a safe environment where
recovering people who recognize Jesus Christ as their "Higher
Power" gather together and share their experience, strength and
hope. AV meetings use both the
12 Steps and the
Alcoholics Victorious Creed.
There is Hope!
