What are Christians belief on drinking wine?

Question

In the Bible they drank wine at celebrations and other times. Wondering how people feel on this subject.

Answer 1

There's a passage of Scripture that speaks of how "A LITTLE wine is good for the infirmities of the stomach", and the Bible speaks openly of it's SYMBOLISM involving purity. Therefore, I would say, don't drink it in excess, for being drunk displeases God and damages the Temple (us) in which He wants to dwell.

Answer 2

Moderation is the key word in the Bible about drinking and eating. When they start controlling you, the devil has established a stronghold (not good).

Wine is medicinal, therefore, healthy for the body (if consumed wisely).

Answer 3

the version is that the wine is an honestly requirement for many Christians, however the "ganja" isn't for a Rastafarian. interior the comparable way, polygamy is against the regulation. this is not a call for of those Mormon sects that still evaluate it ok. So the quick recap is that its honest because of the fact marijuana isn't a call for of Rastafarians, while in assessment, wine IS a call for for Christians. If marijuana smoking substitute right into a call for for Rastafarians, you will have a element, yet final I checked, it wasn't and so which you do not.

Answer 4

Christ drank wine. Wine is good. It is not wise to be a drunkard. But wine is good for celebrating. edit for the silly hypocrites who
say wine wasn't fermented please read your bible ...John2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. How did this wine make people drunk?

Answer 5

Catholics believe wine is transformed into the blood of Jesus Christ during the Eucharist performed in Church.

The rest of Christians enjoy wine socially all the time.

The Bible prohibits the consumption of alcohol in the following verses:
a."Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging; and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
[Proverbs 20:1]

b."And be not drunk with wine."

Wine has ritual importance since from ancient time, it was used in the feast, celebration and even in Lord’s Supper, I don't think people would take it anything wrong.

Answer 8

+ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. AKJV HOLY BIBLE 1st Corinthians 6:9-11
|| According to the AKJV HOLY BIBLE drunkards are amoung some of the many that shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Unless washed, sanctified and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. However drinking wine and not being a drunkard is different. ||
++ Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. AKJV HOLY BIBLE 1st Timothy 5:23

Answer 9

jesus turned the water into wine. but he also taught us not induldge ourselves in it. the message is do not get drunk, often misinterpreted by do not drink. to many denomonations of the christian faith drinking is wrong because the connotation between drinking and drunkeness is clear. drink=get drunk, get drunk=act like an idiot, act like an idiot=disrespect and a loss of credibility. so this connection, many feel, damages a christian's witness. I dont think drinking in moderation is wrong.

Answer 10

It's OK as long as it's not in excess.. Never so much that the wine starts to control you..
