Bible Question: I want to understand better Jesus's view on drinking alcohol? Is it bad to drink every once and a while? Or can you drink whenever you want as long as you don't get drunk? What is the bible's definition of drunk? |
Bible Answer: Dear mrc0026, There is no prohibition in the Bible against the moderate use and enjoyment of alcohol. Neither is it a sin to refrain. On the other hand to drink after a gluttonous fashion is strongly forbidden. 1 Cor 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. John Reformed |
