How To Obey The Word of Wisdom: Tea and Coffee
Have you ever heard that coffee and tea are prohibited in the Word of Wisdom because they contain caffeine or tannic acid, because they’re addictive, or because they’re unhealthy? Errors like these are very often sources of confusion among the Latter-day Saints and others about exactly what the Word of Wisdom demands of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Most of these errors do not come from the actual Word of Wisdom revelation, but from the additional rules Latter-day Saints have invented and added to the Word of Wisdom.
The result has been nothing but confusion, misunderstand, and apparent hypocrisy as so many of us have failed to understand what the Word of Wisdom teaches, why it teaches those things, and how to properly live it. I have undertaken here to hopefully correct these mistakes, and explain what are apparent contradictions and why they aren’t hypocritical or contradictory once you understand the Word of Wisdom and discard all the other rules that we have made up surrounding the Word of Wisdom.
