Is it a sin to drink alcohol

You misrepresented what I stated. Read what I stated again please, and if you are honest (up to you to make that call), then see I never said any such thing:
I specifically said it was contextually speaking about alcohol in 1 Timothy 3.

Will you correct yourself about what I clearly stated? Or will you continue, as you have been?

And those who occasionally drink are not enslaved to alcohol. That’s why it not a sin to drink it.

Those are two separate things. Not the same thing at all. For instance, to fornicate occasionally, while not being a slave to it, is still sin. It is true that persons can get away with drinking alcohol for a little while, and not be slave to it, but that doesn't mean it isn't sin. Sin is still in the drinking of it, whether slave or no.

If you had done a word study on that text, and connected it to Titus, in both contexts, you would understand it is not speaking about 'amount' of alcohol. It is speaking about not being altogether slaves (even constantly thinking on) of alcohol, as many of the pagans, Gentiles (in their various temples, and false worship, etc) and even some Jews were. It is stating that a Deacon (etc) could not hold that office, while being enslaved altogether to alcohol.

When you desire to see that word study and context, you let me know, otherwise, please feel free to study to shew thyself approved unto God, and let go your inebriated theology. You have 'beer-goggle' theology.

To fornicate is an obvious sin and is even listed in the Ten Commandments

Gluttony is also a sin. Do you get onto those who make three too many trips through the buffet? Those who you can’t see their belt because their belly is covering it up? Do you bust their chops, too?

Yet, even Strong's shows, in very brief what I stated as being true, that being "drunk" with alcohol is not the only meaning of methuo (etc), thus here is a Lexicon:

Seem to me this verse is for Israel in the OT in the context of not drunk and couse problem in the temple

But If we have problem with stomach, Paul advised timothy to drink little wine

This advised consistent with modern study that say moderat Red wine good for gut bacteria

Since alcohol is not the key component for this, can we get the same benefits from grape juice or grapes? You probably do not have the answer. The study was on red wine. Some of the other benefits come from substances found in grape juice also.

Fornication is a sin, but adultery is in the 10 commandments.

We should probably pay more attention to gluttony.

To fornicate is an obvious sin and is even listed in the Ten Commandments. Gluttony is also a sin. Do you get onto those who make three too many trips through the buffet? Those who you can’t see their belt because their belly is covering it up? Do you bust their chops, too?

I would lump fornication is with adultery. But I could be wrong.

HE hast made us unto our God kings and priests: A chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that we should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ To him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. WE As lively stones, are built up a spiritual house. Upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. The temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
(Rev 5:10; 1:6; 1Pet 2:5,9; Eph 2:20-22 1 Cor 6:19)

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.(Prov 31:4,5 KJV)

You left out part of the passage:
6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts.
7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more.

The passage tells us that King Lemuel's mother gave him this advice. Does that mean that you, personally, are commanded to give strong drink to him that is ready to perish, wine to those that be of heavy of heart? Plenty of Christians are poor now who will b ea kingdom of priests in the future.

What was the council for Kings and Priests?

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted.(Prov 31:4,5 KJV)

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
(Lev 10:9 KJV)

Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations: And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
(Lev 10:9-10 KJV)
Neither shall any priest drink wine, when they enter into the inner court.
(Eze 44:21 KJV)

So We see that we as Kings are not to drink wine or strong drink at all lest their judgment be perverted. And we as Priests are not to drink wine or strong drink before we entered the inner court yard and the Tabernacle of the Congregation, the Temple.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
