Bible Question: so, this is where i get confused. is it wrong to get drunk at all, or just to get drunk all the time? I have gotten drunk once in my entire life, and I don't plan on doing it again any time soon. was it still wrong? |
Bible Answer: Hello suescott, Scripture is clear that it's wrong whenever it happens. Eph 5:18 (ESV) And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit, I'm thankful that you have put that one time behind you and moved on. That was the proper thing to do. Steve |
