Would Jesus drink Alcohol?

Jesus turned water into wine. It was obviously alcoholic. That is the only way to make sense of the Banquet master's comment. It is in black and white. The cheap wine is brought out when the guests are too drunk to notice. There is no prohibition on drinking alcohol in the Bible. For sure drinking to excess is foolish. And yes, there are a number of warnings in God's word. It's pretty simple. If you can't control it, don't drink.

Yeast is used to make bread. I suppose bread is evil also. If I went by your understanding, I'd starve to death.

What's ridiculous, Bob, is that you were no more around when Jesus walked the earth than I was.

Yet you make comments as if I were arguing that the sky is never blue and the grass is anything but green.

I present what is made plain by Scripture, Bob.

And by loads of historical data to boot.

Prohibition in America did far more damage than the legal alcohol industry.

Actually, God does prefer we eat unleavened bread, but leavened bread doesn't cause the absolute devastation that alcohol does.

When a passage, or chapter, etc., is misunderstood, it is corrected by considering the rest of Scripture as a whole. That's a little fail-safe God masterminded into His book.

The Bible is clear over and over that alcohol is bad and nobody attends a wedding party taking one sip of alcohol every hour or two. The party was not wasted and Jesus did not make, or ingest, any alcoholic beverage.

Ever.

What's ridiculous, Bob,

Stand in line. many have tried to destroy my creditability. Thank God its in HIS word AS i HAVE POSTED THEM. They are not my words but Bible .

Lol your funny. I want to give you a Little biblical History about Judah and Israel One is the Southern territory (Judah) the other is the Northern Territory (Israel) they were divided by Rehoboam after Solomon As prophesied by Ahijah (1 Kings 11:31-35) FYI they are all Jews. Jesus was a Jew from the Tribe of Judah. I never said Jesus was a Jew like today, but he came from the Location and known as Israel. No one Murdered Jesus. Unless you mean your's and my sin.

Jesus said "No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father.”
John 10:18

That "Jesus wasn't a Jew" during his incarnation. You didn't Get THAT foolishness from the Bible (although a "skilled theologian" CAN make "Black" appear to be "White"). You DO KNOW that a jew's racial identity comes from his MOTHER, don't you???

What you CLEARLY don't know is that the term Jew was not even a word at all at the time Jesus walked the earth.

The Bible couldn't be more clear as to what Christ thought of the Jews of His day.

You've offered nothing to prove it true.

This double standard of yours is very childish.

His genealogy is clearly Jewish as pertains to the flesh. That's in the Bible, right?
What race do you believe He is from? A Spanish Jesus could be nice. Is there a Bethlehem, Spain?

Hey, you're the one that said not drinking booze is un biblical movement based on the experience of former alcoholics..

A statement like that leads others to believe that it's OK to drink the booze!

I thought I'd get clarification... so are you FOR drinking the booze, or AGAINST drinking the booze??? View attachment 258210

Not everybody has the same upbringing as you, Adstar.

I learned every single thing I know about life, and the Bible, from first-hand experience and from my own study and research, guided by the Holy Spirit.

Ever read this verse before?
1 Jn. 2:27

Luk 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.


Here wine is equated alongside strong drink....that's because wine is also high in alcohol content.

Eph_5:18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

You can't get drunk on non-alcoholic wine.

1Ti_3:8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Tit_1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

Even a Deacon or Bishop is allowed to drink some alcoholic wine, just not over indulging.

Tit_2:3 The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Same idea here.

1Ti_5:23 Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Medical advice. Sometimes wine is better to have than water.

Never.

Jesus would not, and did not, ingest alcohol.

Jesus is all about purity of body and soul. There is nothing at all pure about alcohol. It is toxic to the human body. It is poison. It is great as an antiseptic, sure. It kills microorganisms and bacteria that it comes into contact with.

Good for human ingestion? Not so much. Take a good look at the fermentation process and think again if it makes any sense at all that Jesus would make, or serve, alcohol to anyone.

Alcohol is literally the feces of the yeast microorganism. The yeast consumes the sugar of fruits/vegetables and excretes alcohol. It also flatulates carbon dioxide so the carbonation, all the little bubbles in wine, is the gas that exits the yeast's rectum.

Does this sound like a holy and pure substance that Christ would enjoy or give to many people to ingest after they had all "well drunken"?

The fact is that wine in the Bible is referred to by a single English word when the original language used multiple words to refer to what we call wine and also what we call grape juice (unfermented).

Jesus never drank alcohol and what He actually made was pure, fresh grape juice from water - as much of a miracle as creating alcohol, if not more so.

Contrary to popular belief, the Bible speaks negatively of ingesting alcohol in many places.

George Cruikshank's painting "The Worship of Bacchus" was a very well known and sought after work in its day. It depicts how society uses alcohol and is destroyed by it. Bacchus is the ancient Greek god of wine and intoxication.

Here is a great link about the painting and what it was all about:
