drinking wine is not a sin but is a weight. weight is anytin that weigh or hinder us from moving or making progress.Hebrews 12:1 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with........however as a Christian is a choice if u think taking it u will be able to control it no problem....taking it is not d problem the problem is control it so that u will not be drunk....drunkenness is wat d bile say is a sin 1corth 6vs10.....for u not to be drunk don't drink that is mi conclusion of the matA

People that drink are called fools, the question is, can a fool make heaven?
everybody is entitled to his or her opinion buh it wasn't written in the ten commandment naa, jesus even turn water into wine, so what are u talking about naa, bible also said a little alcohol is good for ur stomach, why do before u pray u ask God to forgive of ur sins? all of us are all sinners, so leave that thing, drinking is not a sin buh getting drunk and misbehaving is a sin

Whatever the old testament Bible called alcoholic drinking fool or what, Jesus see all before his reply of nothing that goes into man can defile a man but what goes out.Jesus drink wine and all bible wine contains alchoholc as what they called non alcoholic wine today is nothing but fruit juice. Even Jesus deciples preach moderation in drinking . colosian 2:16 says let no man condamn you for what you eat or drink, read also ROM 14:1-12. Let me end here for now thanks.

First of all,there is no law against it in d bible n it wasnt stated in d ten commandment as a sin, wat was said abt it in d bible is dat we should avoid being drunk cos it can lead u to committing dat which as been stated to b a sin.
Read 1timothy 5vs23 although it didnt really state if it should b alcoholic .

Was there ever a non alcoholic wine?
Wine in the biblical days must pass through fermentation process which in its state is already alcoholic.

All instances of wine mentioned in the Bible are alcohol.

Nope it can't it just makes you act foolish. He who is born of God i.e born again is seated in heaven already so drinking that doesn't stop you....... drinking alcohol just makes you lose focus on who you are in God

Jhosh:
Many Christians simply won't be able to give an answer using the Bible, part of the reason for this is that the Bible does not pronounce clearly on the matter of abstinence or it leading to hell. It is often alleged that a stand against Christians drinking alcoholic beverage is unscriptural and is an improper binding of the conscience of others. While it is a fundamental principle of Christianity that each individual has a right to act in agreement with his own conscience before God and in the light of written revelation, it should always be remembered that conscience is not an infallible guide. Our conscience about a given issue is not to act independently of Scripture but is to be shaped by the teaching of the Word of God, whether that teaching is clearly stated or implied. While there is no express command in Scripture prohibiting the consumption of alcohol there are other Scriptural principles which can be applied to the case of the Christian's use of alcohol...Follow Your conscience !
I simply go with this!

You are welcome.
After I lost my son just after birth some years back,I practically ran mad with grieve for 3months.I locked myself up and was Alwz in a state of grieve.
But in my darkest hour,I found strength and the love of God comforted me.The whole incident changed my life for good!I'm a better man today cuz it positively change my perspective on life.

Don't let the devil steal ur joy by letting yourself wallow in constant grief.

Job lost all his children in one day,but was duely compensated when he realized the awesomeness of God's love and Grace.

As long as the Lord liveth,He will comfort u with another before the end of next year.

I have kids. Angel was my last. I certainly don't want to go through pregnancy again, but the thought of living without my last born is just tearing me apart. She was born April 10th. And died yesterday...
She was premature.

The pain is driving me insane.
And I don't want to talk or see anyone cos a times people just don't know the right things to say when a person is grieving. For example they say stuff like at least you have other kids focus on them and forget this one.. my question to them is which of your kids would u like to live without??

That's the reason I'm online, a times a stranger can do more for you than family and friends.

Seems you guys do not understand the meaning of alcoholic drink and to be addicted drunkard. No Bible passage really forbid drinking of alcoholic drink. What Bible established is nobody should drink excessively and it must be in moderation.
Also, no one needs his/her Holy book to condemn ones drinking habit if and only if it is of diverse effect to ones health.

Peritus:


The question is: how can you measure drunkenness? Is it when one has lost his sanity and is staggering and vomiting around?
Taking of alcohol is discouraged if there is no good cause you intend to achieve through it.
Once you take a bottle+ you may retain a firm mind, but not a firm will. You will know what you are doing but not what is doing you. People who struggle to avoid certain sin (especially the sex related ones) usually fall back to it once they drink because of lack firm control that follows such.
Only if we can "de-categorize" our actions from sin and no sin to whether it pleases the Spirit of God in us/glorify God. Only if we can worry more about what the Spirit desires than what our flesh lusts for. Then, we may understand Proverb 14:12 and worship Him in truth and in SPIRIT.
NLT
When you arrive, you may use the money to buy any kind of food you want--cattle, sheep, goats, wine, or other alcoholic drink. Then feast there in the presence of the LORD your God and celebrate with your household.

Wine is alcoholic. . .but the Bible says a little wine is good for the stomach... and also says drunkards would not be allowed into Heaven. We eat food...but the Bible says gluttons would not be allowed in Heaven. Must we not drink wine because we can become drunkards?...must we not eat food because we can become gluttons? The Bible says whatever you do....do it in moderation and that's the bottom line.
