This I know about drinking, wine or whayever, from a long life as an "DRUNK". Regardless of what the Bible says about drinking "people who are born again" know it is wrong to drink!
I started drinking and smoking from a young age, around 13 or so. Everyone I hung out with did it, I was raised "with drinking." I was in the Armed Forces for twenty years, at the time when drinking, smoking, girly mags, etc were the norm.
Today I thank God for people who were raised by christian families, people who probably prayed for me. People who never led the life I did. Anyhow, at one time I owned a bar, let the good times roll, bull!
I received Christ on a thursday evening in a small country church, I had been drunk on home made wine that day. For some reason I wanted to go to church that evening with my wife. Jesus appeared to me and I have never slipped back into the prior life (I have not always moved forward)! I quess I have said all this to say, " the next morning I went to the refrigerator to get a beer, wait a mintue "I don't drink anymore".
Take it from one who drank the biggest part of his life that without God in my life I would have been dead by now, in hell! Drinking was a big part of my life, when drinking I became a person with "loose morals", to put it kindly, and didn't care about anyone but myself.
Does God think drinking is okay for a christian, you are of course kidding right!
I don't want this to be a testimony about anything except drinking, IT IS NOT GOD"S WILL FOR HIS CHILDREN TO DRINK! Any person who thinks they can drink in moderation are fooling themselves, or trying to fool themselves.
