Proverbs 20:1 WINE is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.
How simple can it be? The word of God is mostly self explanitory if you only take the time to actually think about what you are reading. Proverbs 20:1 is telling us that wine is a mocker, it will trick your mind into thinking wrong, and deceiving yourself with that wrong thinking. Anyone that has drank too much wine knows what I am talking about. I will not say that a drink of wine is wrong every once in awhile, the answer to that is between you and your God, But, let me ask you this: If you saw your pastor drinking a toast using wine how would you feel? What if you saw him turn a bottle of wine up and take a drink? What is the difference, the end result is the same, the difference is drinking from a wine glass, or from the bottle. Strong drink is raging: Strong drink is definately a sin! No maybe's here, no if's and's or but's, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise. To allow wine and strong drink to deceive you is to be unwise, or in todays terms stupid!
