Answer 1

ALCOHOL IS BAD FOR HEALTH AND LIFE.
MEDICAL FACT.


There is no god BUT Allah, Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon Him) is the messenger of Allah.

Answer 2

The moon-god allah is an invention of Muhammad's famous seizures on the dirt floors of his tent. What happens if you drink some old grape juice and it has fermented, do you go to the place where there isn't 72 virgins?
There is no other, but the God of Israel. The moon-god allah will be shown to be false on the final day.

Answer 3

Timothy was not written by Paul in fact it is believed older than Jesus. But a little wine for the stomach sake is right. not enough to get out of your head.
and in Proverbs is Water will not be drinkable due to" I think" Pollution & Neucler & Biological war, I think this is Perssia , Medes & Iran. All the Same.
But it is Still in my opinion one Questionable Writer Not the Apostel Paul.

Answer 4

praise's be unto Allah/God of Life.
And peace be unto his prophet.
I think a Son of man can use any thing in moderation. For the will of God is most important.
the part where he said don't drink just water. was about time of fasting. So they my take part in Communion With Jesus Christ Gods only begotten son. Where he stands before God on the behalf of Christian. That is also how the passover in spirit to the father take place. A place where NO man may enter without Jesus Christ.
& his Offering.

Answer 5

"What does the AA (Alcoholics Anonymous) say?"

Nothing. AA is NOT an organization which campaigns against all consumption of alcohol. Let me repeat, AA does not demand a ban on the consumption of alcohol by the general population.

Maybe you should try attending a few AA meetings. You might learn more than you think.

Answer 6

There's a good reason for wine instead of water. Remember they didn't have water purification plants back then, dysentery was a big problem. Mixing in some alcohol with the water killed much of the bacteria in it, made it safer to drink.

Answer 7

maybe you need to do a little more drinking then asking these crazy questions. Prophet Muhammad why is he the only Prophet around to walk the face of the earth then vanish is one prrophet is all that is required ???

Answer 8

Im sorry, you think its bad that letting a dying man have a little drink to curb his pain is bad, or that taking a little wine with dinner , WICH HAS BEEN PROVEN TO HAVE HEALTH BENEFITS. Allah, God, whatever, your talking about two diffrent books, only one is right, and its not the one you think it is.

Answer 9

First the water supplies were limited and the water was dirty and unclean. Wine and other alcohol kills germs and is a preservative. This is all they had to drink sometimes. It doesn't say to drink to get drunk.

Answer 10

I've said it before - poor people of poverty have no business reading that filthy book called the Bible - It is a rich man's book always has been.
