The wine from the Christ days was not the wine like today. It is a wine that is not made with old grape but fresh grape. So therefore it wasn't fermented for drunkenness. Any kind of drunkenness is considered harmful to yourself and therefore harmful to what is the temple of God (your body) is it a sin? I wouldn't harm God's temple would you?
Drinking and drunkenness isnt the same thing.
Then why would the bible say not to get drunk? If its a sin why not say not to drink
Deuteronomy 14:26
For you, she’ll spend your money on whatever your heart desires: oxen’s, sheep, wine or STRONG drink.
The Bible also says not to intake any alcohol before entering into the tabernacle,..that Leviticus 10:9
This is just not true. As a matter of fact, the opposite is true. The JUICE of Jesus' time wasn't like the juice of today because modern grape juice wasn't possible before Louis Pasteur invented pasteurization in the 1800s. Even juice in ancient times had a little alcohol content in it. Grape juice begins to ferment as soon as the skin of the grape is broken, so unless it was drank within the first or maybe 2nd day of being harvested, it had alcohol in it. The only question was in how much
@@williamavitt8264 makes sense,cause otherwise they wouldn't have accused him of being a drunkard.
The fact that the bible is the only book that says "drink but dont get drunk" means a whole lot. Its like what a parent would tell a child. Its makes us responsible for our limit. Its more than just a simple "drink or Dont drink" command. God wants us to always be connected to him in spirit and be an innocent child in that. Yet he talks to us as an adult and leaves the decision on us in this area. Its a very deep charge for us if understood
It's the truth but conscience problems is what you need to address.
I have to be honest in what I believe as a believer. Pauls repeated focus point of the topic to the Church is not to be a drunk.
So the question for everyone is, can you drink without over drinking? Everyone is different, so it's not a simple answer. I personally recognized that hard alcohol has a very high alcohol content level, so I push to stay away from it. Wine has much less than the hard so achieving drunkenness is harder to do. Beer has less than half the alcohol content than wine so it's even harder to achieving drunkenness with beer. It is drunkenness that is to be avoided for multiple reasons like mental impairment, social impairment, potientially bad health/untimely death, wasting finances. The drunkenness part is what has to be attacked. Most churches just preach NO on the topic altogether to play it safe or to keep up with passed down traditions.
Perfect 100℅ right in my view I m a Christian
I'm a drunk. I need the holy Spirit
I’m kind of sad I got drunk but I love the Lord I feel like I let him down
He didn't leave you back then and he ain't gonna leave you now
@J Cortijo I know how you feel
You're allowed to get a little tipsy. The danger is in going overboard. Over what for you is the limit you're comfortable with. In Scripture, drunkenness refers to the addiction of alcohol, or alcoholism. Don't beat yourself up because you had a few. Stay away from blacking out or falling down. That's a bit over the line
"oinos" is a generic term for product of the grape, but in the Hebrew, Gods position on alcoholic wine is very clear. And the New Testament writer use phrases from the Old Testament linking back to show God's position on alcohol.
"be sober" (abstain from poisoning yourself)
"look not on the wine when it is red" (alcohol) Prov. 20
"you can not drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils" 1 Cor. 10
Jacob drinking the "blood of the grape" as opposed to the wine of Sodom (alcohol) Deut. 32
and Jesus drank the "fruit of the vine"
So stupid question. If I have three beers a night, sometimes four, and I get tipsy but I'm always home and I'm a single mom so of course I'm still cleaning, cooking dinner, and just in general taking care of the house. Is this bad??
Small quantity ?
Well it is said that it would take about 23 glasses of the wine from Christ's Days to have a hit equivalent to one glass of our modern wine
That's just not remotely true
Drunkenness has its own spectrum. Where do you draw the line?
I can't say where you draw the line. No, but I can say where i draw the line. That is 2 beers except on seldom occasions. But I don't get drunk. It would take me 6 to 7 beers to get drunk.
Self control is a Biblical virtue

Proverbs 23:31 let me know what God is trying to tell us with alcohol.
Proverbs 23:30-32
King James Version
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
@@TheDivineCallingofJesusChrist Good point about how we are not to look on the wine when it is red (fermented/alcoholic).
Funny how carnal Christians bring up old testament verses and ignore the 13 times we are told to be sober that are in the new testament.
But even the old testament tells us what God thinks of alcohol.
Jesus is the new wine (grape juice) of the new covenant.
8Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. Isaiah 65
16The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?...
21Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils.
1 Cor. 10
32For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures? Deut. 32
(reference to alcohol which was poured out as a drink offering).
If anyone knows Jesus, he knows God too and so Jesus dwells in him and he knows his body and what's in him. If I know my body, I will acknowledge that I was a sinner and know the degree of alcohol that always made me drunk, blackout, not even remember when I slept off, I know the amounts of bottles I drank and the alcohol percentages. So if I know all that, even now that am a new creation in Christ, alcohol is one of the easiest thing for me to control instead of the other way round in the past. And my theory is 3 bottles of beer is now 1 and in a 12% of alcholic wine, my 2 or 3 glasses is equivalent to a bottle of beer. I still be in control of my body and my spirit.
Is being drunk a sin because some people act violent or sin because I drink two Bud lights five glasses of wine and a whole six pack of beer and I talked to someone about GOD for 2 hours straight
@The Wiggly Worm that law regarding shellfish didn’t apply to you. It was a civil law and not a moral law. God specifically gave that law to the Israelites and the levites. Drinking alcohol is not a sin, getting drunk is. You have free will but know your limits and use wisdom.
living as a drunkard is a sin. There is big difference between 2 bud lights vs. that plus five glasses of wine and another six pack of beer. If you don't know the difference, I am like smh?? I stop at two except on rare occasions. Drunkards shall not enter the kingdom heaven. You don't want to find out the Hard way if God is serious about that.
Being constantly drunk is a major sin, because at this point you do not live in this world, do not worship the Lord properly, your actions are not sincere and you are disgracing the body God gave you. That's why drunkards will not go to Heaven. However, getting drunk once doesn't mean you've comitted great sin, although it is not advisable. I would put getting drunk way below the sins of adultery, greed, pride and so fourth.
@J Swen exactly this. Know your own personal limits, and use wisdom. The absolute best way it can be said. Getting a little tipsy and chatting about the Bible is perfectly good. If you're coherent enough to have an engaging conversation, you probably haven't gone over the line

All ethanol is processed by the liver to acetaldehyde. Both of these are toxic and solvents that are not stopped by the blood brain barrier. Eventually the acetaldehyde is further processed by the liver to acetone which then is burned off. Every drink, every liver. I would be asking any Doctor how ethanol, acetaldehyde or acetone is good for the heart. Doesn't add up.
“Temperance is, unfortunately, one of those words that has changed its meaning. It now usually means teetotalism. But in the days when the second Cardinal virtue was christened 'Temperance', it meant nothing of the sort. Temperance referred not specially to drink, but to all pleasures; and it meant not abstaining, but going the right length and no further. It is a mistake to think that Christians ought all to be teetotallers; ... Of course it may be the duty of a particular Christian, or of any Christian, at a particular time, to abstain from strong drink, either because he is the sort of man who cannot drink at all without drinking too much, or because he wants to give the money to the poor, or because he is with people who are inclined to drunkenness and must not encourage them by drinking himself. But the whole point is that he is abstaining, for a good reason, from something which he does not condemn and which he likes to see other people enjoying. One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting everyone else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons -- marriage or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning.” -C. S. Lewis

Very well said
So I am saved because I don’t drink alcohol? Or because Jesus died on the cross for my sin’s?
You are saved because Jesus died for ur sins and nothing else
Lol
LOL
The problem here is the difference between non-alcoholic wine and alcoholic wine, and the keyword here is that in the original Greek there are two words that are translated into the word "wine." One is alcoholic wine the other is grape juice.
It fordids drinking
not true....that is not in the bible.
The Bible does not forbid drinking. Read your Bible
It forbids getting drunk not drinking.
Alcohol is a witchcraft potion. The biblical punishment for witchcraft was death.
?, no
Jesus turn water into red wine...
That would go against the many verses which condemn alcohol. And the 13 times we are told to be sober.
Jesus is the new wine (grape juice) of the new covenant.

Drunkenness is the sin regarding to drinking alcohol
@@charlesdefilmer7433 drunkenness is the process of intoxication/poisoning rather than a specific point. Which is why we are told to be sober (in the Greek it means to abstain).
Drunkards WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
I do on occasion
At times I wonder why Jesus didn't teach them how to purify water st that time (boiling/distilling, silver coins in barrel etc.) And while for most of my life I've been a totally sober Latter-day saint, I realized that Jesus brought the "best wine" to the party, Jesus is a Hebrew and all sorts of hebrew holidays are filled with wine, the last purge is called "the great wine-press" and when he comes again he will drink "of the fruit of the vine" with his saints and disciples. Soo ya, I agree drunkenness is bad (specifically condemned in the bible) but drinking wine is not.
They did both. They boiled and sealed it. Fermentation is just another way they tried to keep bacteria and such out of water. Try drinking the water in Mexico. Best of wine is a sweet wine we use it here often. It has very little alcohol less than DayQuil/NyQuil. Mom made it every year for us growing up for special celebrations. You could never drink enough fast enough to ever be intoxicated. Maybe someone could but it will be a huge feat.
The miracle of wine is not about the wine. It's about Jesus being owner and Lord of "TIME". See the best wines are those tht are stored for years. Hence the oldest ones are the most expensive. Jesus compressed time to give the best wine in a minute. He also showed he is Lord of substance. He can change an ordinary situation from water to fine wine.
He showed he is Lord of space/distance when he healed the servant and the child in an area far from where he was.
So his 1st stated miracle is the miracle of TIME
After so many of struggling with my husband with the spirit of alcoholism, thanks to *diza spell caster* who brought all that to an end..
You thank witchcraft for bringing it to an end? Are you satanic?
What?
No spell caster can help with that or anything turn to god himself for help
Alcohol is clearly prohibited in the Bible
@@Jayrod28 Alcohol is addictive and possibly the worst drug in the world. It's one of the root of all evil and debauchery, why would a believer tempt oneself to such a drug in the first place? Getting drunk from alcohol is just inevitable cuz after all, how do you measure drunkenness? To what extent will you then stop drinking? From your own subjective biased point of view? There's a sprectum to drunkenness
Besides, newer scientific studies have shown that any amount of alcohol is detrimental to one's health.
Proverbs 20:1 Wine is a mocker and beer a brawler; whoever is led astray by them is not wise.
It's best to stay away from alcohol altogether.
@@Jayrod28 Jesus did drink wine, but he wasn't addicted to it nor was he a drunkard. People in those days usually drank wine because often the water was foul. One of the biggest causes of death was dysentery, for one.
And by the way, He reluctantly performed the miracle.
If Jesus comes back today, he would surely prohibit the consumption of alcohol for the most part. Alcohol consumption in North America clearly has reached disastrous proportions. Millions of Americans use alcohol as a drug. It is used by many not to "gladden the heart" (Psalm 104), but to escape reality
@@Jayrod28 Alright brother. I'm not going to argue with you over this. I'll have to agree to disagree with you on this matter. Christianity is so watered down and tolerant on so many issues to the point where it's become a joke. The Muslims on the other hand are better in upholding their religion to this day despite the modernization. God bless you brother
@@LifeIsATest4TheHereafter muslims follow rules because theyre in a cult. But anyways, I've deleted my replies out of respect for another believer in Christ. Bless you, may the Lord keep you always.
False, that is an utter lie.
it is to be a hipocrite to think alcohol is not a sin. Alcohol has destroyed more lives and families! Alcohol is NOT your friend.
If you continue to judge everything, you will end up with nothing and a judgmental conscience which is worse than a lazy mind
Listen to his opinion and think it's not by force yours is correct. U don't drink alcohol but still, I know the truth.
I felt you are strongly encouraging 🫂 to join in “Drinking 🍷🍾🥂Beginner Group“ those people who are not willing. 😄
