    Ask Jesus Christ to take it from your life the need for the desire for it or anything that will alter your well being ❤

    Why did Jesus turn water into wine then?

    It's not the use but the abuse, need and control of alcohol that makes it harmful.

    @@BaronReed-rj9rz yea I get it, but this story stated that you should not drink any for it could be too tempting for people close by

    @@jeremiash5180if you’re unaware of other peoples weaknesses that are in your presence perhaps abstaining would be a better idea. In the time of Jesus your social circle would have consisted of your immediate and extended family members who you knew very personally and a very close business partner or patron. So you would have been aware of any temptations they might be facing. Not so much today in our casual society. 🤍

    A person doesn't have to choose the lesser of evils. Creation and Divinity are served by religion. Intoxicant use should not be pursued by the governments, if kept to themselves and not somehow forced on others. It is important to admit that even sin has its benefits.
