Answer 1

good job. lol
Jesus was Not a glutton and a drunkard, the high priests and scribes were saying this As they always were claiming He was a fake. he drank in moderation. period.
and YES it was alcoholic to everyone who posts below my comment.

Answer 2

That was the Pharisees accusing of Jesus being such. Sure, Jesus drank wine, in those regions, now and then, it's second to water, but He certainly wasn't a drunk. The Pharisees were trying to make Jesus look bad because He always showed them up for what they really were. Those Pharisees...what jerks.

Answer 3

Jesus Drunkard

Answer 4

this passage if you would have put it all down was talking about Jesus' tribute to John the Baptist...here is a commentary about this scripture...it is very good....long but good...enjoy

The World's Dogmatic Disbelief Is Inconsistent (11:18-19)

John came leading disciples to fast over Israel's sin (Mt 9:14; 11:18), but Jesus came celebrating the kingdom like a wedding feast (9:15-17; 11:19). The charge that John the prophet has a demon may suggest a familiar spirit, such as those that belonged to magicians (Kraeling 1951:11-12), a capital offense. Likewise, the charge that Jesus was a glutton and a drunkard alludes to the "rebellious son" of Deuteronomy 21:20-also a capital offense (see Jeremias 1972:160).

God has different kinds of servants for different missions, but we need all the kinds of servants God sends (Mt 11:18-19). Neither Jesus nor John accumulated earthly resources for earthly pleasure; but Jesus accepted invitations to upscale banquets, while John was a wilderness prophet. Jesus came partly as God's ambassador to initiate relations with sinners (9:10-13), whereas John primarily took the role of biblical prophets in times of persecution (3:7); Jesus was a missionary within the culture, John a critic from outside it. Both models are biblical but suit different situations. When we can influence a culture from within without compromise, we should do so; when the culture becomes so hostile to our Master that we must stand as witnesses outside it, let us do so without regret. Thus Paul had friends who were Asiarchs (Acts 19:31); but a generation later, during widespread persecution from the imperial cult, believers had to "come out from among them" (Rev 18:4). Christians today need more sensitivity to both kinds of prophets; often each kind of prophet also needs to recognize the value of the other's call.

Jesus indicts his generation for the ultimate offense: they have consummated the sins of previous generations by rejecting God's ultimate agent (Mt 23:31-32, 35). Yet Jesus' and John's opponents were like many opponents of God's message today: while claiming intellectual integrity, they merely use whatever argument works against the gospel, giving no thought to its consistency with earlier arguments.

True Wisdom Is Vindicated in the Eyes of the Wise (11:19)

If some people choose to reject God's message, which he has confirmed by strong evidences, this hardly brings the message into question; it merely brings into question either the sense or the moral honesty of those who reject it. Wisdom's "deeds" (NIV actions) here alludes loosely back to Christ's "deeds" (NIV "what Christ was doing") in verse 2 (Meier 1980:124), paving the way for the identification of Christ and Wisdom in verses 28-30 (see also 23:24).

Answer 5

Matthew 11:19 (New Living Translation)
New Living Translation (NLT)

19 And I, the Son of Man, feast and drink, and you say, `He's a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of the worst sort of sinners!' But wisdom is shown to be right by what results from it."

One should always read both the above and below scripture to which is only shown here. So easy is it to take bits and pieces.. and make something appear nasty.

Answer 6

He was not a drunk. Read the whole scripture. He was accused of being a drunk.

Answer 7

You need to read the ENTIRE chapter BEFORE you
make such comments.
Jesus was ACCUSED of being a drunkard.

Answer 8

Well, actually... that passage is Jesus speaking...

Not having studied that portion of the Bible, I'm not sure what he meant by it at the time.

Answer 9

Yeah, jealous and threatened people often make up stuff about the people they are jealous of and threatened by. I suppose you, personally, have a problem with him being a friend to tax collecters?

Answer 10

Shame on you for saying something like that about our Saviour. Jesus is perfect, without sin, and he died for our sin, and rose again.
