I am not supposed to post this here, but pardon me i was tempted to do this


See how Christians threads are peaceful, nobody is diverting away from the topic, everything seemed focused

Come to Muslims thread on Friday and see how Christians will flood the whole place diverting away from the topic of discussion, insulting, abusing and uttering discriminative words to fellow Muslims even in their thread, yet Muslims never pass their boundary

Now nairaland mods create a preventive measure that will stop all these discrimination on this forum by imposing an oath meant for Muslims before commenting. They now start shouting Hypocrisy, if you'd not been disturbing their threads will they try to restrict you.


Please tell me who is the real hypocrite

Alcohol is like driving a vehicle. Too much of it destroys just as overspending kills, while also too little of it makes one bored just as slow movement makes driving boring.
Moderation is the key.

grin our Jesus turned water to wine. How do you ensure you stay within your alcohol limit?Do you need powerbank for laptop, over ten hours guaranteed and twenty hours possible. Increase your productivity and work when you like. Don't get mistaken for a Yahoo boy because of your generator noise. Ready to impress!
Be disciplined. I take one can of hero at a ago for a day if I want to take at all I don't buy it at home and I don't visit pubs or clubs. 5% Alcohol is still okay. Avoid drinks more of higher percent. If you must take higher Alcohol percents, take nothing more than 25ml

Matthew 26: 29

Amen, I say to you,
I shall not drink again the fruit of the vine
until the day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.

My interpretation is that there is wine in heaven. God is only against excessive drinking.

God is not against drinking alcohol..


Infact God supports the intake of alcohol even in his Church ( In his presence)


Deutronomy 14 verses 23 - 26

23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always

24 But if the journey is too long for you, so that you are not able to carry the tithe, or if the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His name is too far from you, when the LORD your God has blessed you,


25 then you shall exchange it for money, take the money in your hand, and go to the place which the LORD your God chooses

26 : And you shall spend that money for whatever your heart desires: for oxen or sheep, for wine or strong drink, for whatever your heart desires; you shall eat there in the presence of the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice, you and your household.



Even God went further to give approval to Alcohol


Ecclesiastes 9:7  “Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.”

You're a liar an wicked agent of the devil.
You quoted Ecclesiastes 9:7 out of context, a verse directed to those whom God have cursed and told them to enjoy the life under the sun and nothing for them in the hereafter and relating it to God's approval of it.

Either God approved or disapproved alcohol is not the key issue here... The truth is, what is the place of wisdom in alcohol consumption? It seldom interface with your sense of reasoning and judgement, sometimes stimulate you to do or act in such a that can hurt you or cause varying degrees bodily harm to others.

Alcohol from all indications doesn't go alone... It comes with bandwagon lifestyle, adulterous life, other illicit drugs and so on which are deadly combinations for our lives at different levels.

It is not about whether God approves or not.... We are only looking for God's validation of our wrong doings..... Remember God can never be hurt by your drunkenness.... So he's less interested in your case.




No u are wrong....


The bone of contention here is does God disapprove the drinking of Alcohol or not


Let's settle that first before u state your opinion

In a book filled with analogies meant to communicate the intangible to us, wine is used often to represent the Spirit. New wine in new bottle analogy for example told us about the Holy Spirit in a renewed or born again man.

So in essence there was no wedding, no wine...all na analogy or na only the wine be analogy?

Luke 7:34

The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
Why was Jesus refferred to as a wine bibber?
Getting drunk is the issue here and not taking alcohol. If I take a bottle of beer and then go to sleep or go about my normal business, will you said I've committed sin?

Taking alcohol is not a sin, what goes into your body does not defile you but rather what come out of you that does, the only thing is that in everything do it in moderation, even the alcohol we take was extract from the food we eat everyday, so let no one deceive you God is not a Man
Re: Is God Really Against Taking Alcohol Or Just Against Excess Of It? by helicoptarr: 9:36am On Mar 28, 2021
If you're in tune with the Holy Spirit, He'll let you know whether or not you should drink alcoholic drinks.

By the way, when you see 'wine' in the Holy Bible, you can't be sure that it's the alcoholic type that is been referred to.

While moderation may not be a sin lots of people have been turned to drunks and rendered useless from starting with just some sips of it. It is better to avoid spirits in all its forms so we won't get addicted to it. The Bible says a wise man foresees evil and hides himself but a fool goes instead and he's punished.

So will there be drunks in heaven when Jesus is drinking it with you guys?

Check your dictionary, what's the definition of wine? Wine is a fermented drink, a drink that is fermented contains alcohol.

Almost every Christian in support of the subject drink alcohol nd so in order justify it , they hide behind drink responsibly.
If u don't drink, u can't get drunk. There's a spirit behind drinking that people don't know, it's always a little here , a little there, before u know it u've turned to something else.
For a Born again Christian , alcohol is a no go area. If u want to serve God, choose to serve God nd stop serving God with alcohol.
For Timothy, it was a personal message from Paul to him.

The useless one remains silent and in hiding while his deluded followers debate about what he wants.

They all claim, while contradicting to each other, to know the mind of this imaginary thing because they read some jewish tales compiled by a few italians.

Madness.

The eye sees both bad and good, the ear hears both bad and good, the mind thinks both bad and good. ........ should we remove these parts because of the bad that can come from them ?
We must learn to control by understanding the good and bad.

Religion is being turned to a lip service because many preach extremes, which they DON'T PRACTICE.

Love Ur God.
love Ur neighbor as Urself....(implying that you should not do to others what u don't like. Anything that u know it will hurt you ordinarily, u shouldn't do it to another. What will hurt those you love, don't do it to another)

Instead some people derive joy in quoting some parts of scripture but do all dark things against others and still find a way to use a part of scripture to cover their actions......... HYPOCRISY has ruined us

I have been drinking alcohol since I was a child-- palmwine, wine.... and I have never been drunk in my life!

Never been drunk once!

Are you saying Jesus didn't drink alcohol?
Or you never read your Bible reach that side.

You people will just carry additional weight and hang around your neck.

God is definitely against drinking alcohol whether in small or large quantity. Those who got addicted today started small, now you can see a decline in their health and all, same as bet9ja.
cool You are not serious. Coca-cola is more addictive than alcohol and predisposes one to diabetes, Osteoporosis in old age and even cancer.

Define the excess level you are talking about first. To know your limit, you have to be drunk. So I Don think God supports alcohol intake for recreational purposes.

I don't think drinking alcohol is a sin the sin is drunkenness but its hard to avoid drunkenness if you drink alcohol constantly so as a Christian its best if you avoid unnecessary temptations
Re: Is God Really Against Taking Alcohol Or Just Against Excess Of It? by MrNipplesLover(m): 9:58am On Mar 28, 2021
I drink but never got drunk, for I am a light drinker, and a lover of wine/spirits. Not a fan of beer.

I know my limit, I don't go beyond it.

So, how do you know ur limit?

Thank you, Almighty father.
