Re: The Fast Way to Jesus – Episode 2 – Experimental Christian

Greg Qualls — Sat, 20 Jun 2015 13:20:40 -0000

I don't think it's the carbs that make me hangry. I've done diets where I don't touch carbs or sugar at all...but I get hangry. I think the equation for hanger is hunger + selfishness = hanger. When I feel like a deserve the food and that those around me are keeping me from getting it...that is when the hanger kicks in. Carbs can't overcome my selfishness in the end. That is what I think I don't get hangry when I'm fasting...because I don't expect food.

Yeah. I've done it a few times as well. The main point is to pursue Jesus. If that is one meal or 40 days, it doesn't matter. I would recommend trying a longer fast though. You would be surprised with what you can do and what you might learn. I get hangry pretty easily. But I don't get hangry when I fast...most of the time.

Once again. You are spot on.

I have used the journaling bible for years now. My current one is held together with duck tape and love. It would be nice to get into a new one.

Re: One Practical Way to Learn How to Pray

Greg Qualls — Mon, 25 May 2015 16:53:30 -0000

I'll go first. The biggest lesson I learned was that prayer is simply talking to God. I don't have to be fancy. I just have to talk to him like I would my best friend...because he is.

Re: Christ in Colossians – Part 8 – Atonement – Jesus is Our Penal Substitutionary Atonement

I would agree if that was the only statement they ever made. But Paul goes on to say a lot more in Romans 3...especially verse 20.

20 For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

Looks like you need to read the rest of Romans....and maybe Ephesians, Galatians, Phillipians...well pretty much the whole New Testament. There is a lot more that Romans 2:13.

I've never heard that before. I don't know how you would spin at the bottom before opening. From what I understand, the widget is attached to the flip top of the can. Looks like I need to do some more research on widgets so I know for sure.

Re: Cults, Christians, and Lager – Where did the idea that alcohol was a sin come from?

I was personally liked the fact that he pointed out that all light beer drinkers are heathen.

I am too. Jacob is a good friend and has a lot better grasp on the history aspect than I do. It's good to have friends who read old-thick books. It saves me the time.

Re: Conviction v. Freedom – Can’t we all just get along.

Greg Qualls — Thu, 24 Feb 2011 01:01:16 -0000

Steve I can't agree with you more. I look forward to the day that alcohol is no longer a polarizing issue, but it brings unity like it use too. Might have to be a dream for the next generation though.

Sorry you feel that way Wgwerghop. "On The Internet" is a weekly post I do sharing things that I've found "On the Internet." Other than that, every other post on this site is original. Plus I'm always looking for guest posts. So if you want to add to the original content, you can email me any articles you have written to greg[at]thebeerean.com.

Sorry you feel that way Daniel. Thanks for bringing it up. While I feel that God has redeemed and sanctified my language over time, I'm not really affected by the language of others. I'll make sure to avoid this in the future.

It's great to see you on the site. It's nice seeing some Beerean Alumni on here!

Re: What is ABV (Alcohol by Volume) and how is it determined?

Greg Qualls — Mon, 14 Feb 2011 01:25:15 -0000

Yeah I actually came across that studying up on ABV. It was the first time I had ever come across Alcohol by weight though. So I didn't feel the need the mention it. Maybe I'll need to to Beer 201 at some point. :)

Yeah people are slowly showing up again. We don't have the conversation like we use to...yet.

This is the first time I've ever heard of Red Rocket Ale. I'm going to have to look around and see if I can find any. Speaking of which...have you come across anything interesting in Thailand?

Re: Alcohol Hurts A Christians Witness – BULL CRAP!

Greg Qualls — Fri, 28 Jan 2011 01:26:16 -0000

Hey Matt. Thanks for checking out theBeerean.com. Let me first say, that you are right. I did write this out of anger almost three years ago. I've become a little more level headed since then, but I still stand behind my ultimate argument. I'm kind of curious if you took the time to really read what I wrote and read anything else that I written on this site.

I'm not arguing for Christians to ignore their conscious and slam a few cold ones in the name of mission. My main argument in this post was that we should use scripture to determine what our freedom is and let culture determine how we present the truth to them and not a poll on a Christian website. Scripture is clear that drinking is ok. In both resources you provided, Piper states this is clear. While he personally has convictions against drinking alcohol (and therefore I wouldn't argue with him about that), he clearly states, "I could easily fall into a trap of ruling out for everybody what God has given as a precious gift." In his words, it is a precious gift...but more importantly, according to God, it is a precious gift. The weight of scripture is far more in favore of alcohol than opposed to it. In fact, I've yet to come across one verse that says alcohol itself is evil (only the abuse of it).

Therefore, it is our job as those that have the freedom to drink to use it to the glory of God and in the gospel proclamation to the lost. That is my stance. To use another Piperism...Don't Waste Your Freedom to Drink.

Once again...thanks for adding to the conversation, and I truly hope to see around the site some more.

I wouldn't say that is weird at all. In fact, I would say that is spot on! Thanks for the comment and welcome to theBeerean.com.

Here is a link to an article I wrote that will answer your question.

I would also search their site for more articles on prayer. I'm sorry I don't have more time, but you caught me right as I was about to got to bed. I hope it helps.

Re: Who would you drink a beer with?

Greg Qualls — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 22:04:25 -0000

Great answer man. The really cool thought is that some day we get to have a drink with Jesus and Paul at the wedding feast. That is awesome if you think about it.

I have to say thanks to Jacob for writing this. I love the fresh perspective on here. This is a great article.
