So again your question was will a man go to Hell if he drinks beer and now assumedly wine.

My answer is he has done nothing wrong unless he gets drunk.

What is your answer?

Have you examined any?? Doubt it... there is only a handful of words used. How about Jesus first miracle? Did he allow them to drink in excess and get drunk? The had already had plenty to drink. It wasn’t that they went to the wedding unprepared and ran out because to many guest showed up.

Being drunk during that era was not uncommon. Remember the upper room? They were considered drunk.

Some of you would take 1 Timothy 4:8. and make exercise a sin!!

I don’t know for sure if exercise is sinful. But I do believe you have to shun the very appearance of evil.

So I try to be careful about over exercising. Just eating is exercise enough, I think. You just can’t be too careful.

As a matter of fact I looked up a few of them. I saw nothing that led me to think wine will not get one drunk if they drink it in excess.

Now I will ask just one more time since you started the thread.

Will a man go to Hell for drinking beer or wine if he does not get drunk?

Now will you answer about the miracle at the wedding? Sounds like they drank a lot. Since that is where the sin lies according to you did Jesus help supply to their much drinking they did?

As always, thank you for your time, Bro. Benincasa.

Gluttony is a Latin word which means to scarf down food and drink. Thanksgiving stuffing one’s self would be considered gluttonous. Or you are being a glutton. As Christians we are to be moderate in all things and food and drink is a prime example. Don’t be given to appetite Proverb 23:2 tells us to lose self control with food and drink is the same as slitting your own throat. So, next family get together show some restraint.
