Working in an alcohol producing company doesn't make u a drinker. Even if you drink, it's not a sin before God, provided you don't get drunk.
After all, Paul advised Timothy to add a little shepe in his system so as to carry on his ministry
I no dey forget that bible verse

1 Timothy 5:23

Do not take only water as your drink, but take a little wine for the good of your stomach, and because you are frequently ill.

Deutronomy 14:26 even encourages christians to eat their tithe; specifically, to use the tithe to buy whatever they wish to buy, including fermented drink (alcoholic drink)!

Use the silver to buy whatever you like: cattle, sheep, wine or other fermented drink, or anything you wish. Then you and your household shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God and rejoice.

Christians of today feel they know their God more than their God himself.

WHY NOT? IT'S A JOB

No I dnt think so n datz because d word of God says "if eatin d meat sacrificed to d gods would make ur broda fall den dnt eat it"

I will like to share a true life experience that is happening now.

Also, I will appreciate if the moderator can move this to front page to gather enough advice as possible.

My wife's brother-in law who is a pastor in RCCG was offered an employment in one of the leading MNL brewery company but contemplating on taking it up. His reason was it is against his faith. I argued that so long you are not going to be taking their products I don't see anything bad in it. Here is a man that really needs to change his job because of his current state of living which is not good at all.

So, I will like you to advice if I am the one that is wrong or him. Because I am of the opinion that whether you are a Muslim or Christian faithful working in such industry is not against one's faith.

Maybe I should start by asking this question: Is it right for a carpenter to make coffins?

There is absolutely nothing wrong in working in a brewery in whatever position.

He is under no obligation to take the product.

In any case, the bible does not prohibit drinking beer......only do not overdo it.

Most men of God take alcoholic drinks and still perform their duties well.

the opposite of high is low

I have been waiting for a topic like this for ever make i sit down read comment
my comment is practice what you preach the only negative comment about it is do not take too much of wine, don't be filled with wine and that was an advise to the kings/rulers so they will not make decisions while intoxicated

Back to these preachers that condemn drinking, why will you work there i know some will come out to justify that hes not drinking but he is against it ITS JUST LIKE FVCKING SOME1 OF THE SAME SEX AND PREACHING AGAINST BEING GAY I PRAY GOD WILL LET US SEE BEYOND WHAT MOST PREACHERS SAY AND OPEN OUT MIND TRULY TO HIS WORDS

I think pastors should start earning good salaries

BUT WHAT IS THE POINT BEEN LOW WHERE YOU CAN BE HIGH

EggovinMma:


What about the abuse of drugs? Especially codeine, super glue? In the north?

I don't know what you mean by"in the north"..we aint talking about north here neither am in from or live in the north..what is wrong is wrong..islamically,it is wrong...most of our politicians do so many wrong things we complain about..does that mean their religion allow it?..kidding,ritual,scam and all forms of crime happen in south and west too..that doesn't mean christainity or islam permit it...

#Randomthought why are stuff referenced towards pastors most of the time are imams not doing anything too.

Yes Pastors can work in an alcohol factory if he is now the alcohol taster thats a different story

tonychristopher:

it helps you appreciate the high better. If you experience the low, you will not take the high for granted again

If it is wrong for a pastor to work in a brewery, then the church has no business collecting tithes and offerings from members who work there.

Yes. He can also swim in the brew tank if it is part of his roles and responsibilities.

If Only he attends ST. BOTTLE CHURCH OF ORIJIN.

Most people that claim to be religious are hypocrites, but your wife's brother-in law seems to be a TRUE-CHRISTIAN.

As for My personal opinion- I'm a disciple of sir Friedrich Nietzsche.

And we believe that-

Hey brother, the wine being referred to is the one gotten from grape fruit (called grape juice), the same type used in the last supper, and not the alcoholic drink u think!
Thanks.

Hmm how do you know? Did they write it there?

My dear brothers and sisters,i have good news for you all and it is that JESUS loves you madly and is yearning for you to open up your heart and let Him in to show you true love beyond compare and to repair all broken areas in your life.That pain,the tears,rejection,hopelessness loneliness,life of sin,sorrow and suffering are a few He wants to deliver you from and give you a life of peace and joy.JESUS loves you no matter who or how you are so give Him the chance.GOD BLESS YOU!

@op: edit pls, that wasn't necessary.

Very daft question.
Just for the sake of argument, tell your brother-in-law that Felix Ohiwerei one of Daddy G.O's favourite pastors was the MD of Nigerian Breweries for over a decade.
I doubt any alcohol company will force him to drink if he does not want to.
If he does drink, he must take it in moderation. That is what the bible is against.

Is it also right for a pastor to work in a hotel?Is it right for a pastor to buy jet with members' tithe?Is it right for a pastor to force his members to bring their PVC to the church n tell them 2 vote for a particular candidate in an election?Is it right for a pastor to work in a tobacco company?The least,goes on and on.Some questions to me are childish.

Alcohol, God's primal gift for nursing wounds... and also helping Man turn unsightly woman into Beyoncé

Dea is no biting around d bush... A pastor shud not work dea. He will be promoting sin if he does...

There is nothing like non-alcoholic wine. It is like saying 'she is a slim fat lady'.
Wine by its nature is alcoholic. What you are referring to is fruit juice and not wine.
The bible does not condemn alcohol. What it condemns is drunkenness.
If you are a Christian and do not want to drink or it does not go down well with your metabolism, all good. However, you will be lying against God if you say what His Word does not say.

Is it only alcohol they brew in that brewery?
Tell him to consider these;
1. I will not work in a hospital because they commit abortion there.
2. I will not work in a car factory because people use cars for robbery
3. I will not work in a hotel because people fornicate there
and so on. There are many reasons why he will not work in various places including where he is working now.
If it is because he is a pastor and does not want his congregation to misunderstand him then that's fine.

Since you are not a Christian how do you know who qualifies to be a true Christian?

My bible tells me to drink and forget my sorrow!
It also tells me to take small stout a little wine for stomach ache. I have been purging since morning! Just took a bottle of small stout and I an currently feeling ok.Thank you Lord!

Alcohol isn't a sin.But too much of everything is a sin!
After all Jesus turned water to wine! And please don't tell me it's fruit wine! UNA NO DEY THERE!

Thank u jare fruit wine is not wine its juice wine contains a % of alcohol in it. It is only in Nigeria we have a different definition

I will not eat because the bible condemns gluttony
