1 | What scripture talks about alcohol | Hab 2:5 | stjones | 23961 | ||
Hi, B.; I believe that the only form of alcohol that the Bible speaks of is wine, the product of a natural process of fermentation. I would conclude that if the Bible "approves" of any form of alcohol or drugs, it would be wine. However, concerning all substnaces that can impair judgment or behavior, I think of Jesus' words: 'If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.' (Matthew 5:29-30) I don't think my eye or my hand can cause me to sin, but drugs and alcohol can. If they do, better to throw them away. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |

2 | What scripture talks about alcohol | Hab 2:5 | casiv | 24155 | ||
Hello Mr. Jones, Please see the Bible talks about alcohol other than wine in Luke 1:15. Luke 1:15 - For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. (KJV) Please note that "strong drink" in Greek is sikera, meaning any intoxicating drink not from grapes. FYI, Peace in Faith and Hope, Casiv |
