Of course then how do you explain the text that says something like Nothing is forbidden to me, but some things aren't good for me. It certainly sounds like you can do, eat, drink what you want - it might not be healthy but it isn't forbidden.


"Christian liberty is not the license to sin, but the power to refrain from sin." IOW -- God would still let Christians do wrong (although we would have to pay the consequences of it) and would not prevent them from having that choice, but gives them the power to be able to be as perfect as He is.
