The Bible prohibits looking at wine when it's red or moves about in the cup. Sounds like drinking is prohibited.

What about having alcohol served during Bible study?
Is it permitted in church or in someone’s home during Bible study? Thank you for talking about this topic.

OUR MINISTRY'S FOUNDER IN AFRICA PRAYED TO GOD FOR DIRECTION ON THIS MATTER. HE HAD SINCERELY PRAYED AND CONFESSED TO THE LORD THAT HE WAS AT A LOSS FOR WHAT TO SAY IN RESPONSE TO THOSE WHO CLAIMED THAT DRINKING WAS NOT PROHIBITED BY THE BIBLE AND OFFERED SOME RESPECTABLE DEFENSES. HE USED TO TRY TO EVANGELIZE INEBRIATED PEOPLE AND PERSUADE THEM TO ABSTAIN FROM ALCOHOL, BUT THEY USED THE BIBLE TO PERSUADE HIM THAT IT WAS NOT FORBIDDEN, AND THAT PAUL ADVISED TIMOTHY TO DRINK SOME WINE. HE WAS IN A DESPERATE SITUATION AND SOUGHT THE FACE OF THE LORD FOR SOME DIRECTION ON THE MATTER.


THE LORD INSTRUCTED HIM TO MAKE TWO COLUMNS ON A PIECE OF PAPER: ONE FOR ALL THE SCRIPTURES THAT APPROVE OF DRINKING AND EXTOL ITS VIRTUES, AND ONE FOR ALL THE VERSES THAT FORBID DRUNKENESS AND ASK TO BE FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT. "WHAT DO YOU SEE?" THE LORD QUESTIONED HIM. I ONLY SEE TWO COLUMNS, LORD, HE RETORTED.


THE LORD EXPLAINED THAT THE SCRIPTURES THAT PRAISE ALCOHOL VIRTUES ARE WORKS OF THE FLESH AND THOSE THAT FORBID DRUNKINESS ARE WORKS OF THE SPIRIT. HE WENT ON TO SAY THAT THOSE WHO WALK ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF THE SPIRIT WILL LIVE, WHILE THOSE WHO WALK ACCORDING TO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH WILL DIE. HE GAVE HIM THE SCRIPTURES THAT REFER TO THE WORKS OF THE FLESH AND THE SPIRIT. (ROMANS 8 :5-14).


I'M NOT ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE TO ABSTAIN, BUT IF THEY ARE CONFIDENT THAT WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS RIGHT AND APPROVED BY THE LORD, THEY CAN DO IT GUILT- FREE.


I WAS A MUSLIM AND USED TO DRINK, BUT THE LORD SAVED ME AND INSTRUCTED ME TO GIVE UP ALCOHOL.❤❤❤

What if I drink every Friday, and I do get drunk but I also control myself, like no blackout drunk

Why was it prohibited in the Jewish Scriptures and then prohibited in Islamic Scripture?
Why isn't there any verse of Jesus drinking wine and not referring to the accusations by others.

[biblebill]

2 beers a day or a small glass of wine is perfect one beer not enough 3 too many, take it too the bank

Just remember, as a Christian, if you feel guilty doing it, then it's the holy spirit telling you to not do it. Follow the holy spirit.

Just don't drink it 69% of ruining your decision
