Why I Think Good Christian Must Avoid Alcohols by nabiz(m): 9:59am On Aug 20, 2019 |
Consumption of alcohol is repeatedly condemned throughout the Bible, we are admonished to never touch it Jesus turns water into wine, but reluctantly and under the promptings of his mother - he clearly would not have done so otherwise - John 2:3-4 Christ teaches that it is good to avoid wine because it is a weakening stumbling block - Romans 14:21 God commands all his people to never touch anything even remotely alcoholic if they are to be his people - Numbers 6:3 God commands all his people that they must not drink alcohol forever more, especially in temples - Leviticus 10:8-10 Alcohol takes away your capacity for righteousness (judgment), thus opening the floodgates to sin - Isaiah 5:23 Alcohol brings about a false sense of security - Isaiah 56:12 Alcohol justifies a stiff penalty to the wicked - Isaiah 5:23 Those who drink can not teach the true Gospel, and thus they teach corrupt doctrine - Isaiah 28:7-9 False prophets wrongly preach that drinking alcohol is ok, and this doctrine will be accepted by the people - Micah 2:11 Clergy must not drink - Titus 1:7 Alcohol itself is condemned, and those who drink it are "unwise" - Proverbs 20:1 People of leadership are admonished not to drink (kings and princes) - Proverbs 31:4 Laws and judgment are perverted at the hands of alcohol - Proverbs 31:5 Alcohol causes poverty and depression and even death - Proverbs 31:6-7 Woe to those who wake up and start drinking in the morning and continue all day (alcoholics) - Isaiah 5:11 Woe to those able to drink mightily/strong drinkers (alcoholics) - Isaiah 5:22 Since drinking often leads to bragging, see Isaiah 3:9 (prideful boasting) Be full of the Spirit, not wine - Ephesians 5:18 Samson's mother is strictly and repeatedly forbidden to touch any alcohol - Judges 13:4, 7 & 14 John's father told that John will never drink alcohol throughout his entire life - Luke 1:15 Daniel refuses to touch even the king's alcohol and states that it will defile him - Daniel 1:8 Therefore beloved christian brothers and sisters. Do not be deceived by the world's doctrine. For they thinks they are wise and must look for a way to convince you the need to take alcohol. Even the enemy set an himself quote the bible to deceive From missionaries king james reference |

Why do some of U like sharing half truths and misinterpreting d bible to suit ur intentions? Now let us take a look at each of d verses u pointed out. Dis also means eating meat/flesh is also a sin then ryt? Becos dat verse clearly stated eating meat and drinking so why single out only drinking? D whole Chapter 6 of numbers is d law of Nazarites. How come U also ignored d part where no razor shall com to his head? Did U also ignore d part where his separation days ends?
Dis was d Lord's command to Aaron and his sons who have been selected to serve in d tabernacle. It clearly states dat strong drink or wine shldnt b taking WEN THEY GO INTO D TABERNACLE...
The whole of Isaiah 5, 28 and 56 have at no point condemned alcohol.. Chapter 28 specifically started by condemning drunkards. Those who allow abuse alcohol.. D same way d Bible's condemnation of gluttony doesn't make food a sin is also d same way drunkenness doesn't make alcohol intake a sin.
I had to give U different bible versions so U see how U are blatantly lying against d scriptures..
A clergy shld not give in to wine meaning a clergy shld not give in to drunkenness which is d abuse of alcohol. Samson's mother was asked not to taste alcohol becos d child she was carrying was a Nazarene which is why he was also tasked not to shave his hair. D same goes for John d Baptist... Stop misleading ppl with ur view of d scriptures...

Did jesus drink wine? if yes then we can too! matthew 11:18-19 Paul at 1timothy5:23 adviced his fellow Christian to take some so what me see for the matter is that moderate usage is okay.. Even ANYTHING if consumed in Excess is most likely not good. |
