Will drinking beer send you to hell?

Being drunk is different than not being drunk. Committing fornication is not the same as not committing fornication. One does not have to do it and find out what its like. God condemns being drunk and committing fornication.

I do not advocate for drinking beer or wine. I would prefer people would not. Yet who am I that I would forbid it in total when Jesus himself did it? Matt 12:19

The prophet Daniel did? Dan. 10:3

Nonetheless when I was coming off my life of drunkeness and partying I immediately cut down to 2 beers. After a few times of that the 2 started getting to me. I cut down to 1. That did not last long as I felt it would be a better witness to drop it altogether. That was 1974. I have not desired it since that day.

Beer tastes bad. Other things taste much better. If I were very thirsty and had nothing else to drink I would drink it but for me in "excess" would be more than one.

For some one might be to much. Drink water, fruit juice, pop, ect if its available.You will be better off!

I was discussing this with my first Apostolic Pastor back in 1982. He remarked the Evangelists that came through at times got a funny look on their face when they saw his jug of wine in his refrigerator which he said he kept for his stomachs sake.

Lusting after a women is guilty of Adultery without ever committing a physical act. Hating your brother the Bible says is Murder. Would you agree that could be the same with other sins?

What Defiles a man?

If you want something for your stomach why not drink grape juice? Better yet, go and get the fresh grape and squeeze them from the vine, don’t drink it cold, drink it warm. Your body is able to absorb the nutrients better when it’s warm rather than cold. Why go down the road of alcohol? Do we want to see how close to the edge we can get? “They did it in the Bible days” yah, so! Where did they use the bathroom? If your going to use that line for one thing you might as well use it for everything. It’s sad how people want to use the word of God that’s intended for life, and destroy themselves.

They didn't just drink wine for their stomach though. Excess or abuse is the issue.

Tell it to Jesus.

Matt 11:18-19

18For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children.

Tell it to Daniel the prophet.

Daniel 10:3

3 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

Hometown Guy,

So what do YOU think? If someone drinks a beer or a cup of wine ARE they going to Hell?
