Judolisco:why did Jesus turn water into wine? King James Bible And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. John 2:10. Do some studies and see what wine was drunk during that time. Proverbs are words of wisdom, decrying what happens when the drink takes hold of you. Not an instructions not to drink wine. |

Ctorch: God is not against anyone taking alcohol but He is against taking of alcohol by individual, group of people, tribe, ethnics, state and country that He has chosen or they willingly choose to dedicated their lives to Him and His services. In all tribe of Israel Levites were not allowed or were commanded by God never to take strong (alcoholic) drink. Even before the conception of Samson his mother was forbidden to take alcohol until she delivered because the child will be dedicated to God. The real question is should a Christian or someone who claimed to be a Christian takes alcohol? Christians were described as royal priesthood, those who has been called out of darkness unto His marvellous light. They are people who have choice to give (dedicate) their life to God through Jesus their Lord and Saviour. From the definition, it is glaring that a Christian is directly forbidden by God to take alcohol. 1 Like |

It's simple. Don't drink too much alcohol and get drunk! Drink a little to cheer your heart. Am a born again too but once in a while I take little alcohol. 2 bottles of life is enough for me. It has medical indications. I rest my case. Remain blessed! |

Electrochemistry: Too much of anything.....just name it, is bad and causes health problem. Taking too much water causes water intoxication also known as hyponatremia which can lead to health problems like seizures, coma and even death, I guess it’s better to avoid water. Taking too much food leads to Heath complications, overweight, obesity, increased risk of cancer and addiction to food, I guess it’s better to avoid food. |

God created everything and it was good by Him that's what the bible said. Nothin exist outside him. So God is not against His own creation but the abuse (excess) is what is wrong. Eatin is not a sins but excess gluttony is a sins. Nothing wrong with reasonable limit not a sin Ctorch: |

wealthpreach:Rom 1:24-25 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things, rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.(I think u are at dis stage so nothing I'll say will change your opinion) 1 Corinthians 6 vs 9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers, nor men who have sex with men, nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindler will inherit the kingdom of God. |

Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by it is not wise. Proverb 20 vs 1. Wine is a mocker.” After the Flood, righteous Noah planted a vineyard and got drunk, lying naked in his tent, out cold, the target of mockery. After escaping from Sodom, Lot’s daughters got him drunk, so that they could use him to get themselves pregnant. Wise Abigail’s foolish husband, Nabal, died after a festive bout of drunkenness. Solomon elsewhere mocks the folly that follows letting wine take over your life. “Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes? Those who tarry long over wine; those who go to try mixed wine! Do not look at wine when it is red (i.e., undiluted with water), when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things. You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast. ‘They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.’ (Proverbs 23:29-35).” It is important as a man to know your limit, for instance I don’t usually drink outside with friends and that’s why I have a bar in my living room and despite that I still stay to my limit. Too much of everything is bad and that’s why proverbs 20 vs 1 said “ WHOEVER IS LED ASTRAY BY IT IS NOT WISE” Drink responsibly 1 Like |

There's no where in the Bible that it is clearly written that drinking is a sin.I don't drink alcohol though.Let God be the judge of it.Let's hope that those in favour of drinking won't be in the wrong though cos it'll be too late at the judgement seat. |

NetValueFX:Christ took wine. Wine in the olden days (and still today) was made by pressing out grape juice and leaving it to ferment. That’s basically how wine is made! Just like how you leave palm wine to ferment after tapping it from the tree. A fermented palm wine has alcohol. So God that made the palm wine made a mistake? You people keep on mocking the creations of God in your over zealousness! |

Hashabiah:What the story of the son of rechab emphasized on is obedience even if its inconvenient or not popular. Jesus served God to the fullest more than anybody has or can and still he takes wine -atleast occasionally as recorded. |

lucky999:Human conscience is very imperfect. The word guides our conscience.thecword asks us to sacrifice. The word associated wine with enjoyment. The word allows us to drink it in moderation. The word however expects us to sacrifice the enjoyment, if on rare cases, consumption of wine at any level starts affecting us |

CAN YOU REPLACE GOD IN THESE INSTANCES WITH JESUS......Just the words , I want to know if Nigeria Christians are just mad about the name Jesus and Not God cuz am sure many of your fellow Christians will criticize if you assume Jesus as the God preaching Shayo n ogogoro Infact God supports the intake of alcohol even in his Church ( In his presence) Deutronomy 14 verses 23 - 26 23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always 24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you, 25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses 26 : And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or strong drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household. Even God went further to give approval to Alcohol Ecclesiastes 9:7 “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” [/quote] |

I have jz 2 questions. 1. You walk into a bar to get some alcohol, and you meet your Pastor there, nd he tells you, he's jz taking two/three bottles and not to get drunk. How will u feel about him? 2. Despite the wide range of consumption of alcohol in the Society, Have you seen a church that uses alcohol (No matter how little) as Holy Communion?. Thanks |
