What is good about the topic? this topic as been discussed on at least a hundred threads on nairaland. The bottom line is that christians are free to consume alcohol in moderation. Jesus christ used to drink alcohol. Luke 7:34 / matthew 11: 18-19

Is that true? It says he prolly drank wine, but i don't think it specifically said it was alcoholic!

why don't people search before posting?

@hesperus

You should do a search and see how your statement was addressed by debaters on both sides of the fence.

There is no such thing as non-alcoholic wine, wine is defined as analcoholic beverage in any dictionary. The wine the hebrew people used to drink was certainly alcoholic and that is why you find such injunctions as do not be drunk with wine. If you read Luke 7:34 / matthew 11: 18-19 it implies that the wine Jesus drank was alcoholic.

Matthew 11:18-19:

18 For John didn’t spend his time eating and drinking, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man,[a] on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’ But wisdom is shown to be right by its results.”

Footnotes:


Matthew 11:19 “Son of Man” is a title Jesus used for himself.


Luke 7:33-34:

33 For John the Baptist didn’t spend his time eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man,[a] on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’

This is a minor case even Paul asked Timothy to be taking little content of wine from time to time because of his health,
if it were to be fruit wine he wouldn't have advised him to be taken it little by little.It is wrong to get drunk but not forbidden.

Well, all I know is that I see nothin wrong in alcohol consumption, its just like any other drink to me. The keyword is moderation in anything. I neither encourage nor discourage it, every man has his choices to make.
