Subject: Is it o.k. to drink a glass of wine? |
Bible Note: 1faith1: I've never found anything in scripture that prohibits having wine (I am not referring to elder qualifications.. I'm assuming you aren't one), only being intoxicated (Eph 5:18). However, when in doubt, don't! I encourage you to study Romans 14. To sum up what I'm getting at - if you think it is a sin and do it anyway, for you it is a sin. I've struggled with that regarding more than one issue, including this one. My advice would be to pray about it a lot and study scripture on it. If you're in doubt, I wouldn't do it until you're confident you're not sinning. G. Preston: I am curious about your statement, "Don't interpret that to mean a hard drink, that is prohibited." I was hoping you could provide the scripture you're referencing, please. |
