In terms of alcohol, yeah you can drink as long as you don't get drunk. Indulging in anything, food, wine, women, anything at all is a sin. Christians are suppose to stay humble, and keep things at a respectable level. Getting drunk, eating too much, showing vanity, that's all a sin.

Now when we say the person is looking down on us after they die, Christians are suppose to believe that we are asleep until the last day when God judges the living and the dead. Our souls are to be awaken, and we are judged. I think the dead looking down on us is more of something to say to help deal with the pain of losing a lost one. Who knows though, with all the different branches of Christianity, who knows what people are believing now-a-days.

Now with the 7th Day Adventist, there was a really fine girl, actually girls, they are sisters both my age, that I was going to talk to, either one was fine, but they're beliefs just don't agree with me at all. I am Catholic, which is the original Christian church. It wasn't until 15something that other sets of Christianity formed in protest of the Catholic church. From Catholic to 7th Day Adventist, the differences come because at onetime the Catholic church was the most corrupted church in the world. The Pope was the most politically powerful man in Europe, the church was giving "forgiveness" to the rich for a small price that poor people could not afford, and many people gave at least a daughter to the church as a nun, usually the ugly one that couldn't be married off, because the Catholic church practice that if you give a child to the church as a priest of nun that you'll go to heaven. Many Christians still believed in God, and Jesus, but could not agree with all the corruption in the church. So Martin Luther lead a split of the church with the modern day Lutherans. In England King Henry VIII started the church of England when the Catholic church would not grant him a divorce, and from there the protestation verse Catholic battles have been going on ever since, and in the United States the Morons, I mean Mormons formed the Mormon church that came from the believe that Jesus left his word in the United States also, and that their Bible, the book of Mormons completes the Bible. Since then the Catholic church has also done it's part to try and straighten it's wrongs with Vatican II, and Popes have been liberal in their beliefs, like telling preist to stay out of political matters in their countries, and supporting multi-culturalism within the Catholic church. Of course even though the church has changed for the better in the last 500 years, most people stick to their own sets of Christianity, and to this day talk about how the Catholics ruined Christianity and ow Catholics themselves are mislead. Trust me, I've been to other churches, and I have yet to hear a sermon that didn't include bashing those old school Catholics. It's mainly to keep people at their church, on all sides, since religion is a great way to make money.
