Bible Question: drinking of wine |
Bible Answer: theresamac: For more than a half century I have heard that Jesus drank wine, so it's ok for me too right? Drunks frequently use this verse to justify their drinking. I personally think it's a dialogue that can go on forever. The main issue is how does this line up with pleasing the Lord in all we do? I have never met someone who said I started drinking to please the Lord and be a witness to others and be able witness to the unsaved. I think if one had tithes and has money left over and not in debtb and the family is doing fine then money should be ok to use to support a missionary or help a family in need. In my book for me to buy drink is wrong. What do you think now? justme |
