Pray for the beer supporters

Folks, today we face a totally different kind of generation. To prove my point, I will start with a very real and scary fact. People today between the ages of 18 and 40 are ten times more likely to overdose than the same age group from the past generation, and generations before that. If you don't believe this, then call Greg Nelson or Danny Terry and ask them how many drug related burials they conduct on a yearly basis. The stats will blow your mind!

What's my point? My point is that today's generation is a totally different animal. People today are simply brainwashed by sin and evil. JESUS is a "fairy tale" to many of these people, and they continue to fall off the face of the earth one by one. This is no joke, it's VERY real. So how does this tie into the "beer supporters?"

Well the beer supporters are of this same "generation" I'm telling you about. Knott County has been fine up until the past 10 years so to speak. But this new generation of sinful, brainwashed souls, thinks they have all the answers. They honestly believe that Knott County needs BEER sales to survive. These are the "SAME" generation of folks that are overdosing left and right.

They need our help folks! If you TRULY love JESUS CHRIST, then I'm asking you to hit your knees tonight and pray for their souls. Pray that GOD will convict their hearts and pray that they will turn to CHRIST, instead of their beer and other secular crutches. JESUS is all any of us need, but our "new generation" nationwide, is sadly casting HIM out. Obama is doing it, and it's creating a chain reaction nationwide, amongst non-believers.

The Bible says that if we are CHRISTIANS, then we should be "about the Lord's business." Ladies and Gentlemen, "The Lord's Business" does not consist of drugs and or alcohol or homosexuality or adultery or gambling etc. The Harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few.

ARE YOU FOR CHRIST???????? or are you against Him? Your fruits/actions will prove the answer.

Is Jesus hiring or sending any revenue into the broke county?

Stovepipe: No He's not and it's because of SIN. Read 2 Chronicles 7:14 and you will find the answer to ending economic woes. Jesus is not going to bless a land full of sin, and the last time I checked, Knott County had more overdoses and drug traffic (on a regular basis) than any other place I've ever seen!! Ever heard of Sodom and Gomorrah? Knott County isn't far from it. God will not bless a sinful land. And by bringing more sin (BEER) to Knott County, you'll only be adding fuel to your fire.

REPENT!!!!!!! TURN AWAY FROM SIN and follow CHRIST. Then (and only then) will Knott County be blessed!

I don't believe that most people think we NEED beer sales to survive. Anybody with any sense knows that very little revenue will result from alcohol sales. In fact most people do not care one way or the other. That is why the wet vote lost last time. If the wet vote can figure out a way to convince those that don't care to vote wet, Knott will go wet.

Most people are use to picking up their "devils brew" while they are in Hazard or Prestonsburg shopping anyway. People that are going to drink are going to drink and keeping Knott dry ain't gonna change that. It just keeps them on the road more.

Just curious. Do they sell beer in Brandon, Fl.??

Jesus doesn't care or they would not happen....

I agree with the first post .People are so mean now a days they do not care for nothing.Iam not a church member but if they dont want to believe the bible there is nothing no one can do so let them go to hell or make some kind of smart remark on here as usual

The Bible forbids drunkenness, not alcohol consumption. This is about the 15th time I've had to say this on Topix. Please do your research, and actually read your Bibles. Thank you.

P.S.
Over the last 20 years, alcohol related crashes have plummeted, while overall accidents have skyrocketed. Know why?

Seems like some people are confused about what's actually 'evil', and what isn't.

Done. Now, your turn:

I challenge you to refute anything said in this article.

Yes pray for these supporters of the "DEVIL'S DRINK". With the Devil's drink would have come the "DEVIL'S DENS" scattered throughout the county. Why do the supporters of such evil want to destroy so many lives? The devil's dens have destroyed many lives and has took many lives. Why do these supporters not see this? They tried to tell us how all the factories and JOBS would come to Knott County if it were to be voted wet. I can see it now. PROGRESS riding into the county on the back of a whiskey bottle, PURE HOGWASH I say. The good people have seen through all the nonsense these people was saying and they voted to KEEP THE COUNTY DRY.

If I were to take the Bible literally, I would be forced to conclude that evil is greater than good--that Satan is more powerful than God (or at least God lets Satan win).
First, one has to wonder why God created Satan or evil to begin with, since he seems so adamantly opposed to evil. One answer I receive time and time again is, "God wants us to choose (between good and evil I assume)."

OK, but if I was God's PR manager, I would strongly advise him to make the choice between two goods. That way, no matter what choice we make, it will always be the right one. No one burns in hell; God's blood pressure stays low; everybody parties in Heaven--a win/win situation for everyone!

But NO..........

God has to work in mysterious ways! Whatever!

First he creates this dude named Satan--a fallen angel. Later, God creates Adam and Eve. God makes his pitch: "Don't eat the forbidden fruit or you will surely die (or words to that effect)."

However, Satan, being more persuasive and more powerful than God, surreptitiously transforms himself into a talking-snake hand-puppet and makes his pitch to Eve, and basically wins both Adam and Eve over to his way of thinking.

Satan--1, God--O.

At this point, God is really pissed! Or he's just faking it if you believe he planned everything. He kicks Adam and Eve out of Eden and makes Eve and all women suffer at child birth. Yikes!

Now, again, if I was God's PR manager, I would strongly advise him to take at least some of the responsibility for what happened and give poor Adam and Eve and their progeny a break. After all, they did not ask to be created, nor did they ask to be sinners,

2.
nor did they ask God to create evil or Satan or temptation or the forbidden fruit.

If God is really all-powerful and all-knowing, then God is really the guilty party here. Adam, Eve and the serpent were just his Barbie dolls.
Sometime after the Eden fiasco, evil spreads throughout the world big time!

Satan--2, God--0.

God then floods the Earth, wiping out all life except for Noah, his family and several pairs of animals--(two of every kind, including two termites that would have multiplied and consumed the Ark).

Unfortunately, God's plan didn't work. Evil still flourished long after Noah landed his Ark in the Himalayas.

Satan--3, God--0.

For some reason only known to God, God only revealed himself to the Israelites, and allowed Satan and his demons to trick the rest of the human race into believing a slew of pagan cults and false gods. Such an act by God is analogous to a football player scoring a touchdown at the other team's goal.

Satan--4, God--0.

At this point in time, God was clearly behind on points. He needed to give Satan a knockout punch! So what did he do? He committed adultery with Mary. She was married to Joseph. He could have chose a single virgin, but NO........

Satan--5, God--0.

Amazingly, God allowed himself to be tempted into committing adultery! What a break for Satan! As you know, God did this to create his son Jesus. According to the prophesy, the messiah was to appear and wipe out evil for all times (or words to that effect). Unfortunately, Jesus failed and was crucified.

Satan--6, God--0.

However, a new draft pick, Saint Paul, picked up the cross and ran with it! The Christians cheered in the stands! Jesus really came to Earth to die for our sins and will come a second time to finish what he started.

Satan--6, God--1.

3.
2000 years later, most of the people on Earth are not Christians or Jews. Their souls belong to Satan (so we are told).

Satan--7, God--1.

According to the book of Revelation, less than 200,000 of God's worshipers will be saved. That means, out of the billions of souls that have lived on Earth, Satan will be getting the lion share to torture and torment. However, God will bind Satan for a thousand years, so the final score shall be:

Satan--8, God--2.

Would have had the Red Fox Resort 20 years ago if this county was wet ! Come on folks it 2012 women vote,we indoor outhouses evem ! Good LORD if they sell it you don't have to drink it YOUR CHOICE !

Jesus is going to fix our problems like he helped the Jews, his chosen people in World War II.

Your the one who is brainwashed. You 've been indoctrined by lies since birth and held in sway through guilt (sin) and fear of punishment (hell).

You still cannot answer why Jesus turned water into wine, moron. Doesn't seem he was against alcohol but you are, do you presume to know more than him?

What an IDIOT you are little pig.

Gee, Believer, I can see you practice Christianity and turn the other cheek. LMAO, your really a devout Christian. What if I told you I was Jewish and think your Christianity is a false bastard religion that borrowed from ours and isn't accepted by us Jews as a whole.

Channel 27 in Lexington just reported that business at Jenny Wiley has INCREASED 17% since they passed legal alcohol sales!! And, with 0% increase in problems due to alcohol sales. Are you listening Knott County?? I doubt it. You still have your backward, ignorant, Puritan, holier-than-thou, heads buried in the mud. Will ignorance always prevail in this God-forsaken county?

The earnings from the first month of packaged beer sales in Corbin have exceeded expectations.

The city of Corbin received more than $22,000 in tax revenue from alcohol in the month of June.

“Alcohol has been demonized here for a really long time, and the package stores almost make it ok. I'm glad the restaurants aren't the only ones any more that are actually selling alcohol,” said Melissa
Davis, owner of Sherry’s Tomato Grill.

Twelve stores within the city are now selling packaged alcohol.
And business owners we talked with have no complaints.

Maybe pray for taxes with revenue like this increase all paid by sinners. Knott left in the dark again but at least she has her honor. I would like to point out medieval men let their churches do their thinking and had something called the "Dark Ages". Science and discovery were stymied by the church. People were killed by the church for little reason. All you protestants sprang from this very church which I am sure Jesus would not have condoned this violence.

I don't want you damn Hippocrates to Pray for me I think I will be better off on my own

Well,Well,Well...I see the guzzlers are at it again. News flash guzzlers, Knott Co. and Hindman isn't Corbin. The best Knott County could have had was a few hole in the wall greasy spoons that served lukewarm beer. If you Guzzlers remember, the experts came to the sportsplex and said the only way the county could benefit would be to impose a sin tax. We know how the people feel about a tax in knott County, don't we?

The land of Knott will remain dry forever. People like the good "Brother Tom" will continue to fight the devil and his demons when it comes to the devil's drink, AKA Devil's Brew. The good brother will continue to fight against the hole in the wall bars which is nothing more than the devil's playground. Get up a petition for another vote and see how easy the dry forces defeat it again.

Also, Brother Tom is not just one, there are thousands of Brother Toms in Knott County, and their purpose in this county is to defeat sin and the evil that is associated with sin, LIKE ALKIE-HAUL.
