Most believers today believe drinking alcohol is sinful(some even go to the extent of not torching the bottle). But biblically do u think drinking is a sin considering the fact that jesus christ turned water to wine (alcoholic wine). |

If you visited me, I wouldn't offer you alcohol Habakkuk 2:15 15 Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also |

Omo Alata:another version says 'woe to him who makes his neighbough drinks of the cup of his WRATH and makes them drunk to gaze on their shame'(RSV) i dont think the writer of that verse literally meant alcohol 1 Like |

elveco: Prov.20:1'wine is a mocker, strong drink a brawler; and whoever is lead astray by it is not wise' (RSV) what this verse is saying is dat we shouldnt cloud our judgement with strong drinks. strong drinks(not only alcohol) will only interfere with ur judgement when u take too much even paul advised thomas to take wine timothy 5:23 |

Timothy nt Thomas. He sd he shld take a little for his stomach sake ... which means its medicinal, he did nt take it for pleasure (Proverbs 21:17 He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich.) The question u shld ask urself in whteva u do is whether it will glorify the name of the Lord (Col.3:17) stay blesd! |

i would assume anything that can impair your judgement is harmful |

I don't think there is a concrete verse in the bible that say we should not take hot drink except prov 31 vs 6 but the verse 4 and 5 of that same chapter quite support it. The only reason why i think we should not take alcohol is because our body is the temple of God and no unclean thing should be found in the house of God. As u and i know that alcohol defiles the body, it does nothing to the body than making the body unbalanced, you dont think upright when drunk. So, why do we take it. Remember 2corinthians 6 vs 16 'for ye are d temple of the living God; as God halt said, i will dwell in them nd walk with them' |

Personally i don't think it's a sin to take alcohol as long as you know your limit and don't get drunk. The wine mentioned in the scriptures could have been made from grapes(sweet non alcoholic wine) or vine(alcoholic wine), but i know Noah drank wine and so did basically every Israelite, Greeks and Egyptian. |
