AMPLIFIED 2015 | 1 Timothy 5:23 ¶ No longer continue drinking [only] water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent illnesses. |
Bible Question: Is it ok to drink. I know the bible talks about drinking and getting drunk but is it ok to have a glass of wine once in a while. Smoking pot is also an issue in my family. Everyone thinks it is ok to smoke pot because of health reasons like cancer or just people with a.d.d. or a.d.h.d to get them calm. I feel if I have a glass of wine i am sinning before God. This is a big issue in my family. please guide me |
Bible Answer: Jesus certainly drank wine at reasonable levels, and due to adverse water conditions at Ephesus Paul advised Timothy to sometimes drink a little wine instead of water to prevent the illness which he suffered from (1 Tim 5.23). So an occasional glass of wine with the family is not sin against God unles you fear someone might be led atsray by it. Pot is a different matter and should only be taken when prescribed by a doctor. |
