Occasional Drunkenness

[resurrection33]

Is there anything wrong with occasional drunkenness? I would say yes.

 

[loeza89]

Yes because we should not get DRUNK off of anything but the Holy Spirit but i do believe that if you socially drink it is not that bad but im not sure so dont take my word for it lol i personally dont drink but i am a bartender so i get asked this alot so ill be reading alot of answers for answers myself XD

 

[joint-heir]

I AM A PASTOR
BUT
I DO NOT SEE THAT IT IS WRONG TO HAVE AN ICE COLD BEER
NOW
WHAT WOULD COULD THAT LEAD TO...?

IN MY MIND
LETS SAY I AM HAVING AN ICE COLD REFRESHING BEER THAT I FIND NO GUILT IN
AND YOU COME ALONG AND SEE ME
AND YOU SAY TO YOURSELF
HMMMM, HOW CAN THIS MAN BE OF GOD AND DRINK A BEER AFTER PREACHING AGAINST SIN...?
AND AS RESULT
YOU WALK AWAY FROM GOD AND LOSE YOUR SALVATION

MY QUESTION THEN WOULD BE
WHAT DID I ACCOMPLISH BY DRINKING THAT BEER THAT I THOUGHT HAD NO CONDEMNATION TO...?


IF WE WERE TO QUESTION EVERY ACTION WE DO
MAYBE
THOSE AROUND US WOULD ACTUALLY SEE US LIKE THE TESTIMONY WE TRY TO PORTRAY

They drank wine in the bible. It was for relaxing, calming and stress. Says not to get drunk. I see no harm in it. But to be a stumbling block for someone, it turns into a thin line.

moderation is the limit

Dude.........why are you going back 8 years to pull these things out again?

WHAT'S UP WITH THAT?

 

[theanointedsinner]

I run out of new thread ideas

 

[Adstar]

Drunkeness is clearly revealed as sin in the Bible.. So yes it is a problem..

 

[NayborBear]

Tis one thing TO drink! Tis QUITE another, in the allowing of oneself in succumbing to the vexating & seducing "SPIRITS!" Which can and DOES cause one to "lose sight", of the prize!

 

[Locutus]

I'll drink to that

 

[Hevosmies]

Is occasional adultery okay?

The two cannot be compared.......and surprised you would even do that....

If drinking was a sin, would Jesus really have turned water into wine to serve to guests who had already had much to drink? Scriptures actually recommend drinking under certain circumstances, but we are not supposed to allow it to get the better of us, and sobriety is the ideal. It is better not to eat meat or drink wine or to do anything else that will cause your brother or sister to fall. Romans 14:21

Imagine that biblical truth.....

Imagine that biblical truth.....

[dcontroversal]

not sure about the eating meat part?

Eating meat sacrificed to idols.....

Eating meat sacrificed to idols.....

Of course...one would think that I had no internet or bible to look it up.....dcon to the rescue.

Not even the first round?

i dont think its worth kicking yourself over if you get drunk every so often. Noah got drunk and he was a biblical patriarch.
