Bible Question: Is it wrong to have a little alcohol a cople times a week? |
Bible Answer: Alcohol is not in and of itself tainted by sin. However, drunkenness and addiction to it is what a Christian must stay away from. The Bible discourages drinking alcohol in Proverbs 20:1, Isaiah 5:11/22, Micah 2:11, and several other verses. The Bible also condemns getting drunk- see Proverbs 23:29 to 35. We are to avoid anything that we can be mastered by, and also are told not to participate in things that might offend other Christians or cause them to fall (see 1Co 8:9-13). Although Scripture doesn't necessarily say we can't drink alcohol, based on these things, it's hard to say that you can drink alcohol for the glory of God. [1Co 10:31] |
