This question was posed to me recently during a disagreement concerning other things. Why this popped up, I don't know. I said let me think about that and pray about it. This person is a family member who is an alcoholic and very argumentative. He may or may not be a believer. I need wise counsel if that doesn't violate the rules of this website. I could have answered with "all things are permissible but not everything is beneficial," or love God, love people, but I don't think that's what I was supposed to say. I'm still praying about it. Thanks.
