alBHAGDADI:
It's either you shut up or you prove how wrong the OP is.

I should insult you for your own good (but today is Sunday, so am gonna pass...) I don't have to prove OP wrong, am not trying to find a reason to start drinking or something, am a Bible student and I know qouting text and putting fact down here we only be going back and forth. But calling a spade a spade is a necessity.

alBHAGDADI:
The Bold part is where your problem lie, lazy reader. If you had read the entire write-up, you would have seen that the Bible speaks two kinds of wine: Fruit juice and alcoholic beverage.

Paul didn't advice Timothy to take alcohol. It was fruit juice he advised. Telling Timothy to take alcohol is the same as going against the Book of Proverbs 23:31 that says we shouldn't even look at alcoholic wine not to talk of drinking it, regardless of the amount.


Now, go back and read the OP again, Mr personal encounter with God who throws away the word of God just to operate based on his own conscience.

Leave sentiment for the ignorance, God is the Word (Bible) , he didn't say "having personal encounter with the devil" and this person you are accusing sef might be holier than you (who knows) there are many do and don't in the Bible, there are empathic don't (sin) and there are moral don't. Jesus did not marry, Jesus did not had a house to himself, Jesus only gave us one commission (are you doing that as you should), Jesus said on the last days "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’

37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’"...

Are you doing this as you should and to name a few, my point is we are Christians by faith and we live to that name by grace. But definitely not by all this twisting and force interpretation of literary words of God

Frankled:
We understand you're trying to preach the Word. Almost everyone here are Christians just like you.
But the topic you bring is unnecessary if your intentions and discipline is on check.
Have you ever read "lev 10:9". It says;
You and your sons are not to drink wine or other fermented drink whenever you go into the tent of meeting, or you will die. This is a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.
This was God talking to priests not even the congregation. And this means that he said they should drink but not to drink when they go into the tent of meeting in order to really teach and direct people on what is good.
Sometimes wen you are in Christ you don't even force it but to drop some normal behavior which is not sin, everybody's purpose is not the same. Just like paul said that he would prefered for you not to get married at all so that you will fully consentrate on God but if you think you cant, you should marry.
In all thy getting, get Wisdom

If I have seen this I wouldn't have commented, if you truly have true salvation and personal encounter with God and God doesn't want you drinking for one reason or the order...then fine, or grace is sufficient for you to drop it, not because it a sin but because you desire to let go (... there many things that are not sin but we choose not to do) but don't condemn people to sin because you don't drink, because the Bible is not an author of confusion, will Christians get things twisted just to make our righteousness others business

alBHAGDADI:
Hello,

There's this wrong believe among Christians that the Bible supports drinking alcohol but only in moderation. They say we can drink alcohol but we shouldn't get drunk. Well, I will be using Bible verses to show that Christians are not to look at alcohol not to talk of drinking it. Also, this thread will debunk common lies told to support drinking alcohol e.g Jesus turning water to wine.

The word wine is mentioned 231 times in the Bible. But the mistake we make today is that we think the wine mentioned is just alcholic wine. Half the time wine is mentioned in the Bible, it is about fruit juice.

In the Greek and Hebrew languages in which the Bible was written in, the word translated as wine was used to refer to alcohol and also fruit juice. So when those who translated the Bible into English did so, they had to look for an English word which could mean alcoholic beverage and fruit juice. That word is wine. You might wonder why the translators didn't make things easy for us by just writing fruit juice when the verse is talking of fruit juice and write alcoholic beverage when it's about alcohol. The thing is, doing such would mean they are injecting their own idea into the Bible.

Now, in modern times, we have this believe that wine means an alcoholic drinks. That's why we think the word wine in the Bible is always referring to alcohol. Let's me show you that wine in the Bible doesn't always mean alcoholic beverage but fruit juice.



As seen above, wine is found in the cluster i.e wine still in the cluster of grapes. This is purely fruit juice and not alcoholic.

However, grapes usually have a white powdery film around it called yeast. It is that yeast that is made use of to make alcoholic wine. They crush the grapes and in the process the yeast mixed with the fruit juice that was inside grape cluster. Next fermentation takes place then the result if alcoholic wine. Most times, wine makers add more yeast to attain the desired alcohol level. So you see, wine moved from normal fruit juice before it became alcoholic wine after yeast was added.

Now, there are two types of wine as explained above: The alcoholic and fruit juice. There's a certain type of wine the Bible said we shouldn't even look at, not to talk of touching our lips with it. Read the passage below.



The verse above is talking about alcoholic wine. It even describes fermentation process. It says we shouldn't even look at that type of wine. Yet some folks say we can drink it in moderation.



It describes the feeling one gets after drinking alcohol. It's a horrible feeling.



Have you ever had alcohol such that after taking it, women whom you would never touch with a ten foot poll suddenly start looking attractive to you? The above verse describes it as the effect of alcohol. It also describes how you start saying all sorts of junks which you would not normal say.



Remember when you lie down after taking alcohol and the whole bed seems like you are swimming, and also you feel like you are floating and your eyes being dizzy. That's the feeling described.



After the whole horrible night and you wake up to hangover, what's the cure drunkards usual prescribe? They say to cure hangover, start drinking again. That's what the above passage described.

Yet, some people say we can drink alcohol in moderation and that it only becomes a sin when we get drunk. Sorry buddy, the Bible says don't even look at it.

The Bible doesn't say we should drink alcohol in moderation. It says we should be sober at all times (1 Thessalonians 5:6 Titus 2:3).

Now let's see the common verses people love to twist to try to say we can drink alcohol

The first is found in the passage where Jesus turned water into wine. They fail to realize that it was fruit juice kind of wine, not the alcoholic or fermented one. Let's examine the passage carefully.



According to some people, it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into and gave the people at the wedding to drink. However, a closer look shows that not to be the case.

Pay close attention to verse 10 where the Bible says when men have well drunk. Let's see how the New International Version (NIV) renders that verse.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into, then it basically means he wanted to destroy the guests at the wedding. After they have had too much to drink, Jesus decided to give them more. That means if there were cars back then, many would have accidentally on their way home. Remember the passage in Proverbs 23 which talks about the horrible effects alcohol. If we say these people were already drunk on alcohol, then Jesus just helped them double those effect in their life by giving them more. This means they would start to behold strange women and say perverse things. Now, tell me, who would want to listen to Jesus preach the next morning after the "alcoholic wine" he gave them to drink made some of the men to sleep with their housemaid to the anger of their wives? Made them to saw perverse things to their boss? Made them to sleep in the gutter? Yet you say Jesus gave people alcohol to drink.

Jesus didn't give anybody alcohol to drink. Doing so would mean he's a liar. Remember what he said in the passage below.



If it was alcoholic wine Jesus turned water into at the wedding in Cana, then he abolished the law and the prophet which spoke against alcoholic wine in Proverbs 23:31. So clearly it wasn't alcoholic wine he turned water into but fruit juice.

Another passage people love to use for an excuse to drink alcohol is seen below.

Mathew 11:18-19
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.
19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

The above passage talks about a false accusations against Jesus who pointed out how they also falsely accused John the Baptist. Yet, some people will say because Jesus was accused of being a drunkard then it means he use to drink alcohol. Was John the Baptist possessed with a devil? No, but he was accused of such. I now wonder why you believe Jesus drank alcohol due to some false accusations. Remember, the accusation is that he was a drunkard. So if you use this verse to justify drinking alcohol, then don't get angry when some tells you that Jesus use to fall into gutter after getting drunk; he use to behold strange women and say perverse things. Can you see how wrong they are with their interpretation of the passage?

Another verse they use is seen below.




They pick the verse out context and say God is telling us that we can buy alcohol and drink it. If you read the previous verses, you will see that the context is about tithing. Those items listed alongside strong drink are to be brought to the temple for sacrifice to God. Some are eating, but it excludes the strong drink because nowhere in the above passage does it say drink the strong drink, same way it doesn't say drink the oil. Now, see what the strong drink is used for.



The strong drink or wine is poured out onto the Lord for a drink offering. It is not to be drank at all. But people have twisted the verse in Deutoronomy 14:26 to mean God is saying we can drink alcohol even when he said in Proverbs 23 that we shouldn't even look at it.

Guys, drinking alcohol is a sin and every Christian should abstain from it. Don't let anybody fool you into think moderation is the key. A little sip sends your good sense of judgment out the window. That's when another glass or bottle won't seem like a bad idea. And note, wine has tripple alcohol content that four bottles of beer. So don't think drinking a glass of wine is sophisticated. You are emore alcoholic than the beer drinker.

When it comes to religion and faith, we need to have personal encounter with God and not the "words" only, in order to see "LIFE" in the proper perspective... I don't drink or am I planning to start drinking, but all your qouted verses and explanations are mostly weak arguments, twisted and taking out of context. Faith, Bible and Christianity are more than logic and you trying to prove something this ways give people more reason to believe it is right to "drink". There are many point in your long epistle that when Table logically will work against your point. Let people know the facts, the disadvantages, moral consequence and addiction susceptibility, irresponsibility it's could implies and sorts. Don't twist things to force conviction through people's throats just because you are sure it wrong.

After-life something, if by claim spiritual activities include visiting families, taking revenge and sort, is the brain part of the spirit being or is it physical?

ALLNIGERIANSMAD:

I am a Yoruba man, and I can't dispute the fact that we are coward, but all tribes in the south are coward too, just that our level of cowardness is in grades. Yorùbá laziness makes our situation more serious

UncleJudax:
Even if Nigerians stop "eating cow meat" the agenda would still match on.

They can always come up with a justification.

This is the easiest excuse, if this is discouraged from the root, even if they would come up with another justification, it would be another thing entirely which I can promise you, would be difficult and take another century

Cow meat is not the best, it has many substitute and at even relatively cheap price, stop accusing buhari and start looking inward... We all promote fulanization by eating the starved nutritious meat. #StopEatingCow
