Drink but don't be drunk

YorubaEmir:


If alcohol is a sin, do we call the holy communion wine a holy sin?

Mechie onu. Nwa Aboki
I dnt argue wt Yoluba muslims

Kylexy3000:
Now temme, how will you drink alcohol without being drunk.

Temme has to answer this question.

Not likely, 'cause you have to be already really drunk and terribly intoxicated with the resulting passion to be a Christian.

It is not but drinking excess is.

Ifesinachi22:
There is no where in the Bible that has it clearly "Don't drink alcohol", Rather you will see things like Drunkards will not enter the king of God.

Paul told Timothy to stop drinking water and drink wine instead because of his health.
Catholics use wine (May not be alcoholic) and holy communion together.
Finally Jesus turned water into wine which became the best wine in wedding.

Drinking alcohol is not a sin. Drinking in excess is what is a sin.
My humble opinion

Proverbs 31 vs 3-7

3 Do not spend your strength[a] on women,
your vigor on those who ruin kings.
4 It is not for kings, Lemuel—
it is not for kings to drink wine,
not for rulers to crave beer,
5 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.
6 Let beer be for those who are perishing,
wine for those who are in anguish!
7 Let them drink and forget their poverty
and remember their misery no more.

Do not mistake highness for drunkenness

ANOTHER topic to attack the church. watch it the gates of hell shall not prevail

HeyCorleone:


Not all man. Veleta and Eve are some non alcoholic wines in Nigeria. Wine is basically Grape juice. The more it is left to mature, the greater the alcohol in it.

But no I don't think consuming alcohol is a sin.

...from all definition I hv seen and i mean all...all wines are alcoholic drinks from grape... Yes some have very very low alcohol but still alcohol dey am and it serves as preservative

EVEN mohammed drank alcohol earlier on in his ministry he was only insutructed to stop

NwaAmaikpe:



Consuming alcohol is not a sin.

That's why the wine used in the biblical last supper was alcoholic as is still used today in the Catholic church.

After drinking it, most of them got high.
Judas betrayed Jesus under the influence of alcohol.
Peter denied Jesus under the influence of alcohol.
Peter sliced Malchus's ear because he was high. (John 18:10)

Finally, the disciples couldn't keep awake in the garden of Gethsemane because they were tipsy from the wine (Luke 22:39-46)

Ah swear, u no well at all.

hisgrace090:
What goes into a man cannot destroy a man says our lord Jesus.

Alcohol is food but should not be taken in excess.

So if you consume cyanide, you don't think it can destroy you?

Nothing above says that taking alcohol is sinful.

vchykp:
Is alcohol a sin?

This particular topic has been bothering me, i once asked a Rev Father, who said its not a sin.

On the contrary i met another man of God(prophet) who said alcohol has an evil spirit in it, it has demons that controls who ever takes it.

But on friday, my cousin who happens to be a prophet came around and has been drinking Williams(beer) comfortably from my fridge and he said neither can alcohol stop his gift of prophecy nor possess him with demon.

I really need help concerning this topic and scriptures to back it up.

#thanks

Have you seen where people drink alcohol.. As in the shayo dey flow.. Ask your self if the Holy Spirit is working in the people there ...

Flee alcohol

Always looking for excuses to justify ourselves. Is eating 3square in a day a sin since it's not recorded in the Bible?

Alcohol...The only chemical mixture that can turn a weak man to a commander

BlaqCoffee109:
Give strong drink to him that perisheth (Proverbs 31 vs 6) ...@ Topic in Christendom Alcohol is no sin but in the sight of The True living GOD and in The Body of Christ, it is sin; choose ye this day where you belong and what you believe

What are you saying

addikt:





I am a Christian and I am not a king ..... so can I drink my alcohol in peace now ...

God loved noah he was a drunkard
God loved David a womaniser ,pedophile and drunk
God loved Solomon

I know he loves me more


And Jesus turned water into wine




On the passover feast

Jesus shared bread and wine in remembrance of him

Anything called Wine does have a certain percentage of alcohol in it.


If there is no alcohol in it, it is not called Wine but simply fruit juice.


And yes, I agree that simply consuming alcohol is not a sin as long as it is taken in moderation.

Ifeanyi4491:
(Matthew 11:19). In the first miracle he performed, Jesus did not turn water into Ribena or orange
juice. He turned water into wine.
Which is an alcohol

Turning water into wine was not the first miracle of Jesus. His first miracle was his ability to talk when he was a Baby. ( Defending Mary about his miraculous birth).

ayoku777:
Alcohol is not a sin in scripture, getting drunk is what scripture rebukes.

Ephesians 5:18
[18] And BE NOT DRUNK with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

So alcohol is not a sin. Even the wine that was used by the early church for Holy communion was an alcoholic wine

1 Corinthians 11:20-21
[20]When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

[21]For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

Paul was rebuking some of the Corinthian believers for getting drunk on the communion wine. You can't get drunk on wine that is not alcoholic. So the Holy communion wine they used was alcoholic.

Shalom

holy Communion used by some Anglican churches are still alcoholic.. its just that know that recession don come the way they dilute it now is serious
