One of the largest setbacks for members of the Body of Christ is the question of whether or not it is OK for Christians to engage in drinking alcohol. There are many diversities of belief in different circles of faith, however I believe the Bible is very specific with regard to this topic.
The church wants to try to justify that drinking alcohol is OK. They say that one or two drinks will not make one drunk, therefore the Bible does not condemn it. Well, lets see what the Scriptures have to say; the Bible speaks of alcohol in many cases. For instance:
Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. (Prov. 20:1)
Be not among winebibbers.... For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty. (Proverbs 23:20-21)
Who hath woe? Who hath sorrow? Who hath contentions? Who hath babbling? Who hath wounds without cause? Who hath redness of eyes? They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine. Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright. At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder. Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things. They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again. (Proverbs 23:29-35).
Woe unto them that rise up ea ...
