but Paul advised Timothy to takes small of it? Do you really know that all the starchy food you eat used to end up as -coh and glucose but in very low content... Alcohol is not a sin but it become snare to you when it starts to influence your reason.

I don't think Paul is an ordained authority who has a right to issue rules or regulations, I would rather prefer the clear words of Christ himself or what do you think? So what did Christ say?

Hashabiah:
God's emphasis is on moderation. But those who want to truly commit themselves to knowing God will avoid any manner of drink. Just the way the sons Jonadab the son of Rechab, commanded his children not to drink wine (Jeremiah 35:6)

Jesus drank alcohol.

Almost every Christian in support of the subject drink alcohol nd so in order justify it , they hide behind drink responsibly.
If u don't drink, u can't get drunk. There's a spirit behind drinking that people don't know, it's always a little here , a little there, before u know it u've turned to something else.
For a Born again Christian , alcohol is a no go area. If u want to serve God, choose to serve God nd stop serving God with alcohol.
For Timothy, it was a personal message from Paul to him.

So u all claim born again.....but down deep in Urself......many of u are BITTERED HYPOCRITE. Constantly judging and segregating...... committing atrocities behind.

If I drink once or twice or more in a month but very moderate, then go home and sleep or play with my family before sleeping..... How is it a sin.

If I have to drive a car, I mustn't drink or I will drink small......it is moderation.
If I have to go preaching, I shouldn't drink.

The whole Bible got summarised by Jesus Christ into 2 sentences. It doesn't mean that other things in the Bible are not good,but understanding the whole whole of it makes a complete meaning.

Anything that can hinder your way of thinking and your subconsciousness is not good at all.... Alcohol can make you do a lot of things, wait first, what do you gain by drinking sef??

Define the excess level you are talking about first. To know your limit, you have to be drunk. So I Don think God supports alcohol intake for recreational purposes.
I drink but never become drunk. I know my limit because I don't drink for recreational purpose. I drink in my home and at social gatherings occasionally but not in bar.

If alcohol is a sin, why is there no record of God punishing any one for its consumption:

Noah got drunk and took off his cloths; God punished his son for laughing not Noah for drinking

David got drunk and danced naked; we termed it david dance and even have a song for it.

Jesus turned water to wine; it was the first miracle

When the holy spirit fell on the disciples and they spoke in tongues, people termed them drunk; their reply was how can we be drunk by this time. meaning they drink and get drunk but it was too early for that.

Holier than thou, Na una... Jesus went to party, not just that he went to Party, He sponsored the drinking with a very wonderful wine... From what you wrote up there, it means everybody in that wedding party were sick. They needed wine to cure their illness... Mtcheew

Salam bro, with all due respect I think you should refrain from using abbreviations while addressing a religion....Its better to type it full...For example :Christian instead of Xristian.

Chasing shadows! First realise yourself and master the art and science of it. What defiles a man comes from his heart. Meanwhile, intoxication is a sin whether alcohol or your favourite burger.

The greatest command is love thy neighbour as thyself. The question is, 'do you love yourself'? Don't get it twisted; discover thyself.

Electrochemistry:
While moderation may not be a sin lots of people have been turned to drunks and rendered useless from starting with just some sips of it. It is better to avoid spirits in all its forms so we won't get addicted to it. The Bible says a wise man foresees evil and hides himself but a fool goes instead and he's punished.
if e no good for ya body quit!! As a Christian teach ppl to know dia weakness and don't make it looks like since buhari is bad everything related to it is bad. alcohol in general is an hard drink with different brands of low alcohol in it so plz teach ppl to know it's not everyone who can take alcohol and it's should be taken moderately like red wine for example is a good drink but I take alcohol once in awhile because I know it's effect if taken much and get tipsy.

The Bible at 1cor 6:10 says that drunkards wil not inherit God's kingdom so that means that drinking alcohol is not bad but taking it in excess is

God is definitely against drinking alcohol whether in small or large quantity. Those who got addicted today started small, now you can see a decline in their health and all, same as bet9ja.

No u are wrong....


The bone of contention here is does God disapprove the drinking of Alcohol or not


Let's settle that first before u state your opinion


Is there anything worth debating over consumption of alcohol If you are charged with DUI in Australia, Canada, USA, UK or any part Europe you know risk a jail term or loss of your driver's license..... So if constitution of countries on earth could frown at the act how much more God almighty....

After you might have confirmed God's stand on alcohol and you feel it is favourable to your disposition, then you sired your conscience with hot iron and dive into wantonness head first

Little wonder the choice of your moniker. Illicit

Lastly, You are not incharge of my opinion on public forum like this, please be guided.

In that case, God approves of weed smoking and homosexuality since the countries you mentioned are legalizing it

I have been drinking alcohol since I was a child-- palmwine, wine.... and I have never been drunk in my life!

Never been drunk once!

Are you saying Jesus didn't drink alcohol?
Or you never read your Bible reach that side.

You people will just carry additional weight and hang around your neck.

Like I said earlier, people supporting d subject matter are those people drinking alcohol.
They must find a way to support it nd look for scripture to support their stand.

Why aren't we asking real questions like Why hasn't God rescued Leah from Boko Haram's den despite all the prayers from concerned Nigerians and Christains worldwide ??

It’s sad that she’s still in captivity.
She’s alive and there’s hope!
God will surely rescue her

But whilst she’s still in captivity and alive
People living in high brow areas in Lekki Lagos have died
Some boys in Edo were cruising in a new Benz they just bought and died a painful death; six of them.

Between the time she was held in captivity to now, over 1 million people in the (safe)world have died because of COVID.

God is God
Know this and know peace.
