for Christians- do you think its okay to drink alcoholic beverages?

Answer 1

Anything that leads to danger is bad. Drinking alcohol may lead to something serious so as a Christian, you'd rather not. A little would mean too much as you don't know how far you'll go when you start doing something. Besides, being a Christian means that you are following Christ. If you drink whether you go little or too much doesn't show being a Christian of you.

There is a so-called Christian society and another which is that of human. A Christian society lives in God and not in vain. A society that is free is a society outside Christianity. There are many things prohibited by the Christian Society. If you tend to do things especially unlikely ones, you are outside the society of Christians because you want to live the freer way.

Answer 2

Personally:
I believe it is the intent and the frequency that are questionable.

1 drink every six months or so at dinner with a friend will not condemn you to hell. But if you drink with a group of girls on the Friday night while at the club every Friday, I would ask why.

Just pray & God will answer you if you listen.

Answer 3

I think that a glass of wine with dinner is okay. I think that if your a christian that you should not go to bars and drink with non-believers and of course not drink in excess.

Answer 4

Its ok to drink wine or beer or champagne with dinner but its not ok to drink hard drinks that make you tipsy and used as a drug or to get drunk.....Drunkeness is a sin but a glass of wine a day with dinner isnt.

Answer 5

The Bible directs one not to be a drunkard. To me that means to drink with moderation, however, there aren't many places these days where one can practice such, especially if your friends aren't Christians.

Answer 6

The catholics serve wine with crackers(wafers?) on Sundays in Church, so how can it be a sin if the most sin obsessed sect serve it as a sacrament.

Answer 7

All things are lawful but not all things are profitable. If it causes your brother to stumble, if you can't help but drink til your drunk, if you feel like you are sinning against God when you drink then it is sin.

Answer 8

the respond relies upon on volume. gentle to average alcohol intake is in many cases probability loose, and could additionally be useful (extraordinarily with wine, which sparsely reduces the threat of heart affliction). Cigarettes have no wellness advantages that i'm attentive to. That reported, abuse of alcohol is a lot extra risky. you may no longer quite overdose on cigarettes, yet you may drink sufficient booze in one sitting to die. additionally, alcohol can adversely influence different drugs you're taking, the two rendering them ineffective or maybe making them poisonous. Cigarette smoking will reason severe wellness issues interior the long-term, which includes lung maximum cancers, heart affliction, emphysema, and so on. additionally, extra short-term issues upward push up, which includes harm to the exterior, undesirable breath, decreased experience of scent, impaired respiration and so on. Abusing alcohol could reason cirrosis, liver failure, and additionally contribute to heart affliction and dissimilar cancers. All are unfavourable, yet most of the effects of alcohol abuse take place extra rapidly than those of cigarette smoking. it ought to take many years to enhance lung maximum cancers or heart affliction, yet cirrosis can improve interior of basically some years. Drunkenness reasons no end of issues. It dulls your judgment, so human beings act recklessly. This leads to violence, sexual promiscuity, and impairment working heavy equipment (like automobiles), top-rated to hundreds of deaths each year. Cigarettes, at worse, merely deliver approximately crankiness for people who're interior the technique of quitting. even with the undeniable fact that, volume is the main. One to 2 beverages an afternoon, for a wholesome individual, won't reason those issues. usually a million or 2 cigarettes an afternoon is extraordinarily probability loose too. even with the undeniable fact that, the nicotine in tobacco is a lot extra addictive than alcohol, making gentle smoking so lots extra good than gentle ingesting. truthfully, cigarettes are undesirable in all situations, on a similar time as ingesting can variety everywhere from form of advantageous to catastrophic. as a result, i could say that in case you may drink responsibly (no extra effective than one or 2 an afternoon and not ingesting to the factor of intoxication), that's extra proper than cigarette smoking. most of the undesirable effects of alcohol are basically proper to heavy ingesting. even with the undeniable fact that, abuse of alcohol is a lot worse than smoking cigarettes.
