Why do some so-called 'Christians' think alcohol is bad when Jesus very 1st miracle was a beer run (Cana)

Question

Among Christians and other students of the New Testament, Cana is best known as the place where, according to the Fourth Gospel, Jesus performed his first miracle (scholars would note that it was His first miracle in Cana, acknowledging that His disciples were present at the feast, but with him in Capernaum where Mark records miracles after the temptation; Mark 1:25,31,34.), the turning of a large quantity of water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1-11) when the wine provided by the bridegroom had run out

Everyone knows Jesus and disciples liked to hit the bottle and have a few drinks....who do these fake 'christians' think they're kidding?

Furthermore, guess who else thinks booze is bad? Yep, thats right...MUSLIMS!

American icon John Wayne once said, "I don't trust a man who doesn't drink". Words that we should all live by

Answer 1

DID JESUS MAKE ALCOHOLIC WINE?
SOME INTRODUCTORY BIBLE FACTS ABOUT WINE:
1. The word wine in the Bible is a generic term; sometimes it means grape juice; sometimes it means alcoholic beverages. The following verses prove that the word "wine" can mean fresh grape juice, the fruit of the vine: De. 11:14; 2 Ch. 31:5; Ne. 13:15; Pr. 3:10; Is. 16:10; 65:8; 1 Ti. 5:23.


The wine that was talked about in the Bible was a non- alcoholic wine. It was merely grape juice or cider.

Answer 2

It's the amount of wine they are sipping, if you recall at the Last Supper, Jesus said in Matthew, Chapter 26 verse 27 "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenent, which will be shed on my behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins" Now all he had was one small chalice, and there were 11 apostles in that room. In Holy Communion, when the person receives the body of Christ through a host, the wine he or she recieves is only a small portion of what is in that chalice. They only take a sip, not a gulp.

Answer 3

Alcohol is not "bad" people's abuse of alcohol is. Some unable to control there consumption of it become a problem to themselves and others. The fallout is what makes it bad. Christians tend to steer clear of things that can have negative fallout to others and themselves.

Answer 4

back then all they had to drink was wine and water and you never knew if water was clean which would you choose? its all in time differences in the present they have created many more things besides those two

Answer 5

He says it's cool to drink just don't get drunk b/c then you get dumb and do things you're not suppose to do, like sleep with your best friend's dog name Midget and then it's just weird hanging around people after that. So basically don't get drunk b/c you'll probably sin. Drink responsibly.

Answer 6

alcohol is not bad when taken in moderation. the bad thing about alcohol is when its taken abusively coz it can make you do bad things and make wrong decisions. if you indulge in beer, that is a sin and its under gluttony (one of the 7 capital sins/category of sins).

Answer 7

actually his first miracle was the snake if I'm not mistaken his second was the see of wine its OK to drink responsibly not be a drunk

Answer 8

Interesting point since Jesus said the blood of his body was wine.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 9

There are some radical Christian sects that believe all sorts of nonsense. Ex. no meat on Friday, no birth control etc.

Answer 10

I think it is because so many people turn into alcoholics, I don't think Jesus drank so much until he couldn't walk.
