Bible Question: Is it scripturally wrong to drink alcohol? |
Bible Answer: Clearly you should not get drunk. Romans 14:12-15 says any food or drink can be a stumbling block. If it causes your brother to stumble then don't do it. We need to help our brothers and sisters grow in the knowledge and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is no sacrifice to avoid drinking alcohol if it helps a brother grow. Please read the chapters in their entirity. |
