All that people are mainly discussing is wine. If wine why not beer? If beer is o.k. next would it be o.k. to go down to your local tavern and set down and have one with a buddy?
People do not say that, it is the scriptures.

The scriptures clearly and without a doubt say that Jesus drank wine, there are plenty of scriptures that say that. Yes do I know that.

That it was unfermented wine is actually for you to prove. The ball is actually in your court that when Jesus was with sinners, they were drinking one type of wine while he was drinking a different one.

When Jesus was drinking wine with his disciples it is up to you to prove that it was unfermented wine.

19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication(one step leads to another here) , uncleanness, lasciviousness,

20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies,

21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness(one drink leads to another here)], revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God


Little lust starts with a thought....Turns into a monster
Little drinking starts with just one, turns into a drunkard
Paul equates drinking with immorality in this passage, all of these works of the flesh here have a beginning point!


Is it okay to toy with the beginnings of all these other sins?

Did Paul miss this thought when he only says to not drink in excess? Or when he says you have houses to drink in?

Drink a little wine for your stomach's sake.
I read from that link and it is probably right. If someone was drinking strictly for a medical purpose and was being private. I would be much more open minded, but in that case they probably wouldn't be on some forum teaching Christian liberty, bottoms up. I have said before though, I don't know for sure it is heaven or hell thing, but I just couldn't ever bring myself to do it or teach its o.k. It is definitely not expedient.

Re: Social drinking?

Ironically, when I have an upset stomach, I take a tablespoon full of buttermilk for my "stomach's sake."
