Jewessgratitude:


I don't know why people keep asking this dumb question about alchohol..
I think what you should be asking yourself is if alchohol is good for your health. which we all know very well that its not.

Keep looking for mean to justify your dirty and unhealthy habits. Tar ta..

Apos2kay:
Alcohol intake is good for the health, too much of it is bad

deltateam:


Drunkenness is a Sin not drinking of alcohol. This means you can drink and not be drunk!

Similarly, sex is a beautiful thing you can perform but to your wife only! Out side this is promiscuity that is recorded in Romans you just quoted.

The implication is that, every thing from God to us is good if we use them according to instruction.


1 Corinthians 10:23-24

Proverbs 31:4-5

Romans 13:13

Proverbs 20:1

Ephesians 5:18

CHM11:
So many great guys in the bible drank alcohol. Even Jesus too changed water to wine and was known to drink and eat with strangers and sinners. And yes, Jesus drank alcohol that's why some people accused him of being a drunk and a glutton in Mathew 11:19.

Even getting drunk and sleeping as u said is not a sin, but if it becomes addictive and takes the place of worship in your life then it is a sin as you are placing alcohol over God.

Be free from these gods of men. Most of them are empty vessels. Study the word of God yourself, read and meditate for a discerning spirit. Nothing is more beautiful than being a free true christian. It is a beautiful religion!!!.

Okay.. So once am drunk its a sin? Even if am drunk and went to sleep nko?

Look at this one. It's people like you I hate. You go about with false doctrine and boast as if that is exactly what the Bible teach. You are even subtly telling people to stay away from pastors. Now let's examine your claim.

Which great guys drank alcohol? Perhaps, you think the word wine means alcohol Everytime it is mentioned.

Jesus didn't drink wine, he was only falsely accused of being a drunkard. Let's see the passage clearly.

Luke 7:33-34 King James Version (KJV)
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!

John was only eating locust and wild honey, he didn't like normal food. For that, they said he had a devil. Did John have a devil? No. This means he was falsely accused.

Jesus loved normal food and drink etc eater, non-alcoholic wine, but those false accusers called him a glutton and a drunkard. According to you, because those people accused Jesus if drinking alcohol, then it means he use to drink it. Why not also believe it when they said he was a drunkard and a glutton?

Jewessgratitude:


It is not advisable because of its addictive nature. One can live healthy without alchohol so its not as if its mandatory for a healthy well being.

There are other means of living healthy.

Apos2kay:
I stand by what I've always said, alcohol intake isn't a sin, just that getting drunk is a sin, because the moment you get drunk, a spirit controls the body, which makes a drunkard do something he can't do on a norm.. Too much of everything is a sin

Apos2kay:
Uncle, too much destroys, even the doctors recommends alcohol, try and Google search the benefits of alcohol.. So don't say what you don't know

caracas:
Absolute no
Even the Bible tells us that our lord Jesus was a wine drinker. In those days wines were not without alcohol.
It’s not even a sin to be drunk, but its morally wrong.

bixton:



Interesting. .....
*Are you sure you are a Christian?
*Please why do you think you are a Christian?
*What qualifies you to be called a Christian?


More so, there's no such thing as drinking responsibly.
Alcohol drinking is alcohol drinking, because for some even just one shot of it will cause them to misbehave.

babtoundey:
Well, I am here to learn and unlearn. From all the comments, it can be established that you can drink alcohol but abstain from getting drunk. Moderate drinking of alcohol is not a sin. Does that mean that one can MODERATELY involve in adultery and fornication, after all, it is too much of everything that is a sin?

1StopRudeness:


What are u even saying?? it’s a christain religious thread that takes guide from the Bible...
and u are saying even doctors recommend,
U even brought google into the matter..

As in... how are random doctors whose opinion isn’t even the same world wide and google an authority in this matter

Elobless:
God said to man in garden of Eden, eat every tree in d garden except for d fruit of knowledge and evil. Paul admonished us that what ever that will cause to sin we should avoid it, he also said that to save our brothers in faith whose faith is not strong yet we should avoid what may make them sin. that same Paul said am privilege to do many things but for Christ he gave them up. Alcohol is not bad as u want to hear, but ask ur self this question what benefit am getting in taking it? what effect does it have over me? what is d message am passing to unbeliever who is watching me?what about babies in d faith will they grow?. for d disadvantage alcohol has is far more than d benefit.

chymes0359:

Oga even in the advert they said Drink responsibly..
Same way as smokers are liable to die young on their packs..

Arespect10:
It's prohibited and sin according to both MUSLIMS & CHRISTIANS

naijalodge:
Lemme educate somebody here

Nbote:
There is not place in d bible alcohol or it's intake is condemned... D bible only clearly condemned drunkenness... D same way it condemned gluttony

bixton:



There's no point in trying to stress "non alcoholic " wine in the subject matter. Do not add to where the Bible did not.
You can trace from the OT till the coming of Jesus Christ. Everyone who had or owns vineyards produces wine and if you go through the passages, you will see the effect on those who drank it.

It will be nice if you say, alcohol drinking is not good or its a sin, but trying to add to that which is not written in the Holy Bible is more wrong.
If you search the scripture, you will see, the Bible made mention of wine and strong drink. Now these are 2 different categories of alcohol.

John the Baptist is an exception of a no wine drinker, because practically he lived in the desert and not among men.

bixton:


That's a marketing slogan and nothing more than that.
Do you know of any car manufacturing company that tells anyone to drive responsibly or says speeding kills, or say don't drink and drive, etc, etc, etc.........

9jawitch:
I think it's a sin because too much of everything isn't good, besides over eating too is a sin

Bro let me ask this questions ;
does Holy Spirit speaks to you?
If yes, has the Holy Spirit convicted you about this before.

Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities - I Timothy 5-24

Hi don't drag Islam or responsible muslims to this. No muslims argue on this, it is only Christians who always argue, argue on many sin issues.
