OUR LOVING GOD OF UN-INTOXICATED LIVING--Should Christians Drink Alcohol?

God is looking to train a generation of un-intoxicated men and women to lead and model Christ’s righteousness in an intoxicated world.
God wants men and women who do not succumb to the intoxicating influences that dull, cloud, neutralize, and inhibit their minds.
Any desire, unrestrained by God’s grace, can become an intoxicating idol.
Things like fashion, comfort, convenience, security, work, sports, and amusements can be as deadly and powerful as addictions to alcohol, drugs, and sex.
Some Christians drink alcohol, others do not.
Should Christians be drinking at all?
Where does it talk about this in the Bible?

    The Bible does not say thou shalt not drink alcohol. Jesus himself drink wine and turned water into wine. Paul told Timothy to have a little bit of wine to settle his stomach. It does say that drunkards shall not enter the kingdom of heaven. But drinking does not make you a drunkard. I will get a craving to drink about maybe one time a year and all I will have is a glass of diet Coke and rum or diet Coke and whiskey.

    I completely agree with our precious brother John, but I guess I'll have to admit that I'm a little weak in my stomach like Timothy and drink a little wine often. What's really interesting is that I'll be having some "new wine" with Jesus when I come to be with him in his kingdom. I guess some of our brothers will not participate, but I personally will. For those of you who need a verse, here it is: "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it with you, new, in My Father’s kingdom.” Matthew 26:29 BTW, Jesus was NOT referring to grape juice.

    True Christians cannot completely abstain from alcohol since Christ commanded that wine be drunk as part of the new Passover ceremony. Evangelicals are completely deceived into thinking alcohol is an inherently bad thing because their religion is based on their own silly, self righteous judgement of what constitutes sin. Christ Himself was a social drinker(Luk. 7:34), and it did nothing to inhibit His ability to stay close to His Father.

We do know however, that he will judge us for defiling our flesh, but it's not what goes into a man's mouth that defiles him, it's what comes out of it. I'm certainly not going to deny the downside of alcohol comsumption, it's bitter sweet. It can bring joy and then can also bring sorrow and poverty, lazieness, foolishness and lack of self-control. It's up to each believer but, those in Christ will be led by the spirit to examine himself as to whether or not he is treading where he should not go.

    Alcohol is a euphemism for anything that pollutes the mind. It could be your job, your hobby, food, drugs, porn, your marriage partner, your own body, even your children. We have the capacity to elevate all these things and more to the place that should be reserved for God alone. I know I’m guilty of multiple infractions in this regard.

    We all know (or should know) what our respective weaknesses and lusts are. If we're weak or easily tempted in any area, we should not feed this area in any way. We should also not partake in anything wherein a fellow believer is weak or easily tempted, at least not while they are around us. Yielding to our earthy, carnal lusts and desires is never the Godly approach for the believer - we should be yielding ourselves to God and His Word.

However it's so sad Churches can't see by faith into the most holy place of heavenly sanctuary Rev 11:19 the true ark of the Covenant where the to Commandments is; the pattern by which Moses got instruction to build earthly sanctuary Ex 25:8. Revelation 17:1-2 KJV And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Now Churches are drinking the wine of the Antichrist the Papacy that Commandments are done away with exalting Sunday sacredness!

    Most of the comments on here are defending drinking alcohol in moderation. Why? There's more than just the consumption. So do you think it's OK to sit at a restaurant and drink a beer, or one margarita? Sounds like it. So what do you say to that person that you've been talking to about God, who sees you drinking but never questions you about it. I assure you, you have lost credibility with them. So, why chance it? Because alcohol means that much to you? Whether alcohol in moderation is allowed or not, is it more important than spreading the good news?

    Christ drunk wine in moderation. The Bible NEVER once states anywhere that it is a sin to drink alcohol, but it DOES teach that being drunk is a sin. Why would Christ turn water into wine if it was an inherent sin to drink alcohol? Think man. Your argument lost all credibility because it is very likely that Christ talked to ppl about God while drinking alcohol in social settings(Luk. 7:34).

It is only through the Holy Spirit that we are infused and enlightened with the mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), for even the Holy Spirit must search for all things, yes, the deep things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10-11). After receiving God’s Holy Spirit, we become more and more like Jesus; in turn, we will do and speak the will of the Father and finish His work, which is to destroy all the works of the devil. Amen.
