Can A Christian Drink Alcohol ?? by MFMRevivalist: 3:19am On Aug 02, 2020

When an European Airline was initially launched, an educated Christian gentleman
was traveling in the first class section.
An air hostess approached him with a complimentary drink, this was an alcoholic
drink, but the man politely refused.
The air hostess returned but this time brought the drink on a platter, designed to
appeal and impress. However, the Christian man again politely refused, explaining
he doesn't drink alcohol.
The air hostess was concerned and informed the manager. The manager
approached the man with another platter, now designed with flowers. He
questioned, “Is there something wrong with our service? Please enjoy the drink, it
is a complimentary offer.”
The man replied, “I am a Christian and I do not drink alcohol? The manager still
insisted that the man take the drink. Then, the Christian proposed that the
manager should give the drink to the pilot first. The manager stated, “How can
the pilot drink alcohol, he’s on duty! And if he drinks there are all chances for the
plane to crash”.
The Christian passenger with tears in his eyes, replied, “I am a Christian and I am
ALWAYS on duty in order to protect my FAITH and if I Drink Alcohol I will crash
my whole life here and hereafter. I AM 100% ON DUTY!"
Maybe yours might not be an alcohol, it may be tempting you for sex as it was
done to Joseph, battling with how to control your anger, profane and vain
babblings, your dressing , your attitude towards people and finally not sharing the
Word.
Do you know that souls are dying because of those reckless behaviours of ours?
WE ARE 100% ON DUTY

I have shared this with you 'cos I am on duty!

As much as the style of message is okay, in the OP, the experience doesn't teach nor agree with scriptures. Christians can drink alcohol but in moderation not being drunk and out of control. You should avoid preaching legalism to Christians.

With all the mention of wine in the Bible you ask this question? The sin is not in the alcohol but in getting intoxicated.

Not according to the Bible.

Even those who did not like Jesus Christ noted that He was a glutton and a drunk... And no, they were not lying that He liked His alcohol grin

Let's not try now to lie or put a spin on what is written as if it is our job to fight for God in even these things. grin

I hope you have a Bible verse to back up this absurdity?

Well, 1 Thessalonians 5:22 says, Abstain from every form of evil.

The Bible does not forbid drinking alcohol, but it does warn against dangers of drinking too much, and thus engaging in immoral behaviors and other consequences of alcohol abuse. While the Bible recognizes that drinking in moderation can be enjoyable and even safe, it contains passages that advise against heavy drinking.
E.g
“Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to reckless indiscretion. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”—Ephesians 5:18

You deliberately interpreted the Bible literally to foster your sinister motives.

I know people like you.

Jesus doesn't speak literally, He speaks in parables. As such, there is always a story behind His words

I warned you against trying to think it is your place to make Jesus Christ look good in your own way.

What makes you think In Jesus was not being literal there in that verse? undecided

What the hell do you mean when you say that Jesus Christ does not speak literally? undecided

He came to preach and teach the poor and uneduxated yet you suggest he did not speak literally to them? Are you serious? undecided

According to His example, it is not evil to get drunk.

Even better, Jesus Christ said it is not what you eat(or drink) that makes you unclean/cause you to sin. But that sin comes out of what is stored up in your heart. undecided

This is the last time I'm going to entertain you with reply because I can see through your motives.

I know to " wine and dine" doesn't mean to be a gluttony and a drunk.
Do you?

Not that I agree with the guy you replied to, but how does what Jesus said there sound like a parable?
Re: Can A Christian Drink Alcohol ?? by jmoore(m): 9:53am On Aug 02, 2020
Jesus made the best wine ever.

If it is wrong to drink wine, why did Jesus gave them wine?

This alone destroys any opposing view. Alcohol is. good.
Excess alcohol is bad.

Point: Drink in moderation. If you feel you can't handle 1 milliliter of wine, then stay away from it.
