proverb 31 v6 said give hard drink/beer to those who want to perish.

if you are not satisfy with this verse let do this simple illustration: buy beer and soft drink and take it inside the church, start with beer, let see if anybody will raise any eyebrow or not

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

may your days be long.

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.

There is nothing like non-alcoholic wine. All wines are alcoholic. The so called Eva 'Wine' is not a wine. It is a sparkling grape juice. Just a grape juice that is carbonated.
The importer labeled it as wine as a marketing gimmick to push the product. And the strategy worked. By the way, the 'wine' label seems to be limited to the carton. I didn't see the wine label on the bottle. That made me to suspect the importer just labeled the carton as wine for marketing in Nigeria. But the Spanish bottler wouldn't label the bottle as wine probably because it's not wine but juice. I don't know if they still bottle it in Spain.
I haven't checked out Valeta.

trapQ:
Where is your sense? So every wine is alcoholic?

Besides how does this relate to my comment about John the Baptist?

Yep. Every wine is alcoholic. Nothing like non alcoholic wine. Just marketing gimmick.

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

Alcohol is not a sin Oga. It becomes one when taken in excess. There was nothing like nonalcoholic wine in the biblical times. Please ignore the guy or man that told you it is a sin.

They are not wine in the strict sense. They are versions that are produced as alternatives for who do not take alcohol.

Christenity. Nawa ooooooooo

Well Bible support it sha

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)

There was no record of Peter been high and other disciples been tipsy in the Bible references you sighted here. Thou shall not add or take away from my word. Am not against taking alcohol but try and check the Catholic church altar wine, it's 0% Sir.

Why did God send the Angel to deliver a message about John the Baptist not taking strong drink (alcohol)?

Perhaps, it's for special purposes. Why should Samson's hair be uncut? Is it sinful to have a haircut?

Stop twisting the Bible and preaching heresies, proverbs 12:21B "but the wicked shall be filled with mischief".

Some of you are turning the scriptures upside down.. Jesus turned water into wine, the Bible didn't say alcoholic wine. Let your conscience be the judge here, a true Christian shouldn't take any alcoholic drink.

He's a Nazirite... Nazirites don't take wine

xtivin:
Not a sin, but alcohol is not for kings and as Christians we are kings because we are of the royal priesthood of God.

did you just say alcohol is not for Kings.
mention one king in the Bible that is of age and he is tee total.

Bigii:


What are you saying

and what exactly did you not comprehend

Why alchlohic is a sin is becos excess eg( taking 1 crate at a sit) And starting talking rubbish, raping innocent child, that why ISLAM banned totalling.

There are non alcoholic wines and you know it.

There's nothing like non alcoholic wine brother. You're not the owner of English. English says wine is alcoholic.. All those veleta, Eva or blue cocktail are just flavored fruit drink. The companies wey dere head correct will never write wine on those non alcoholic drinks.

If that was the case then there was no need for God to have sent an angel to reaffirm an already known tradition.

What tradition are you talking about

Jesus said in Mark 7 vs 18. Are ye so not without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him. If you read down to vs 23 you will see things that defile a man. All sin come out of man's heart not what he takes

Where in the bible did it say Judas, Peter and the rest of the disciples were drunk?

How can Jesus sit and watch his disciples drink till they got drunk. You are definitely adding to the scripture so that you can justify your drunkenness.

arixsto2:

Wise kings don't take alcohol, never justify any reason for taking alcohol, there is a spirit behind alcohol and demons use it to posses their victim, its very wise to avoid it

Do not mistake highness for drunkenness

You hear

Can you differentiate it for me??

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

Firstly are you a Christian? Is it possible to eat without been a glutton? If you are not a Christian, no need to answer d questions

profolaolu:
Stop twisting the Bible and preaching heresies, proverbs 12:21B "but the wicked shall be filled with mischief".

How is he twisting the scriptures.? If you really think you believe in God's words, go and check his quotation and study.... don't let stronghold of men doctrines and over righteousness deceive you. If you want to believe God's word, you must shut out every doctrine contrary to what you read in God's words irrespective of the pastor's status who taught you the lie contrary to what you are reading. How will I be seeing A and you will tell me it's B simply because we met the false as tradition in the church. Oga take it or leave it, the word of God is clear, and alcoholic wine is not a sin.
