Bible Question: Can this verse mean what it sounds like. I have been raised in a church that looks on any form of alcohol as sin. I am having a hard time proving that in the word of God. Being a drunkard, yes, I find that condemned but a glass of wine or a drink? Can someone help? I want to move from what I have been taught traditionally and find the truth God intended. I have never been a big consumer of alcohol so this does not come from that. But when I teach my children right and wrong I want it to be what God teaches as such. |
Bible Answer: A Different View ........................................ Welcome to the forum Tepridemore. I personally believe that it is wrong for a Christian in America to drink alcohol. There have actually been some very good discussions on Christian consumption of alcohol. I would strongly recommend that you take a little time to read some of what is written. A great place to begin your search would be to do a quick search (top right corner) for the number 10288. |
