19. Mormons & coffee

Sun Nov 9, 2025, 04:55 PM

Nov 9

Some Mormons maintain that a coffee drinker can not get to heaven. I have spent more than an half hour to find the book that quotes St. Paul. I thought, it was the Brothers Karamazov. It was something similar to, ‘Everything is permitted to you, but not everything is good for you’. There is something like that in I Corinthians vi.12. — All things are lawful to me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful to me, but I will not be brought under the power of any. So, i have the ability to drink coffee; why would it be bad for me? The prohibition is to control behaviour, the authority is both nebulous and capricious. As for me and my tribe, we will drink coffee.

“ And again, hot drinks are not for the body or the belly.” — Joseph Smith, Word of Wisdom 89.9.
