Condemnation of Drinking altogether: Proverbs 23:31-32 31 Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly! 32 In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper. Romans 14:21 It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. Luke 1:15 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord; and he will drink no wine or liquor, and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit [a]while yet in his mother’s womb. Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank. Habakkuk 2:15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken. Hosea 4:11 11*w*h*o*r*e*d*o*m and wine and new wine take away the heart Judges 13:4 Now see to it that you drink no wine or other fermented drink and that you do not eat anything unclean Judges 13:7 She must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, nor drink any wine or other fermented drink nor eat anything unclean. She must do everything I have commanded her.” ============================================ Condemnation of Alcohol and Drunkenness: Deuteronomy 29:6 You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.” Isaiah 5:11 11 Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine. Judges 13:4 Drink not wine nor strong drink, and eat not any unclean thing. Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine, or for rulers to take strong drink, Jeremiah 35:14 Jonadab ... commanded his sons not to drink wine ... unto this day they drink none, but obey their father's commandment. Galatians 5:21 Drunkenness ... and such like ... they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Like |

oliidell: on the issue of alcohol consumption the bible is at best contradictory if not confusing.there are verses (see my post above) that prohibit drinking alcohol.there are verses which only speak against drunkenness.there are verses which allow alcohol.and we can also understand that there is a verse which promotes drunkenness (proverbs 31:6-9). 3 Likes |

You can drink wine but not to be drunk by it! Being drunk does not cos you to sin against yourself but to the Almighty! |

lanrexlan: The bible advise christians to drink wine and beer to forget their sorrows.From the first scripture you quoted,I will like to ask; are you perishing or do you want to perish? Are you in anguish or do you want to be in anguish? Then from the second scripture, are you sick or do you want to be sick frequently? Because the scriptures quoted never justifies drinking. Except you are perishing and you are averse to redemption or you are permanently sick and need little for you sickness from time to time. 1 Like |

sseunth: well,to me drinking is not the sin.....geting drunk is the sin And that is what the Bible says. QED! Even under the OT laws, Jews were EXPECTED to convert their farm harvest tithes to money, which could be used to buy alcohol at the place where God is. However the coming and death of Christ has FULFILLED THE law. The Law of the Tithe |

LagosShia: Then we can summarize the argument with these two verses: 1) 1Corinth 10:23 "All things are lawful to me, but not all things are expedient (beneficial): all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not. [For the sake of the liberty in Christ name, the above verse was written by Paul to the Corinthians. Alcohol may not help in edifying your body, but it is not sinful as you you speculated] 2) 1Corinth 10:31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." Do you know why I quoted the 2 verses above, because "For the earth is the Lords and the fulness thereof." (Vs 26 of same chapter). I think the chapter 10 of 1Corinth, when studied well, will answer most of the controversial questions we ask today. 2 Likes |

wolajumoke: @lanrexlanOops,do I look like a christian? I said the bible gives christians authority to drink wine in some cases. 1. Proverbs 31:6-7 (NIV)- Give beer to those who are perishing,wine to those who are in anguish;let them drink and forget their poverty and remember their misery no more.You are reading my posts upside down.I am not experiencing any one 2) 1 Timothy 5:23 (NIV) -Stop drinking only water,and use a little wine because of your stomach and your frequent illnesses.I know,my religion prohibits beer even for illness. |

To really know what the Bible says about drinking, we ought to be clear what it meant by the word wine. Wine, for instance, was the common drink in ancient times, and Biblical scholars are of the view that, the water available for drinking contained pollutants and harmful microbes, which made it unfit for consumption. From what is believed, the alcohol content in wine was needed to kill these microbes, and also to keep ailments and infections at bay. You analysis is very poor if you think man has lived without drinking water because it was unfit for human consumption. Do you think NAFDAC was around in those days ? If you think slaves were given wine when they were thirsty then you better go have a strong drink and rewrite your post. 2 Likes |
