Bible Question: The bible says"do not be drunken with wine. Does that mean that we can't drink at all? will a class of wine everyday at diner prohibit a person from entering heaven? |
Bible Answer: Dear jeh777: the question first of all is based on the assumption of salvation by works. Read the book of Galatians and you will see that a person does not receive salvation by what they do or do not do. One receives salvation by belief in Jesus Christ who died on the cross, was buried, and rose from the dead. Surrendering your life to Him to follow Him as Saviour and Lord by this belief in Him is how one is saved. Now as to your question can a person drink wine. The bible says in one place that we are not to judge each other in regards to drinking and eating. The bible says in another place that drinking to the point of getting drunk is a sin. Food and drink should be done in moderation. The bible says in another place that whatever you do do it to the glory of God and do not put a stumbling block in another person's path. You can do a word study with your concordance on these words; drunkenness, wine, drink, stumbling, and other words and search the scriptures for yourself. This should be a matter that you earnestly pray about. Sincerely, Val |
