*The Bible does not condemn the moderate
use of alcohol, but it clearly condemns
drunkenness. Jesus Himself drank wine and
even turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana.
[Matthew 11:19; John 2].
*But the Bible clearly warns against
becoming drunk or under the influence of wine
or strong drink, saying that this is a work
of the sinful nature, and that those who
"do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God"
[Galatians 5:19-21].
*Also to be considered here is the fact
that God commands us to obey the
laws and commands of our government and rulers
[Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-15].
*It is against the laws of our land
for young people under a certain age
[usually 21] to drink, and it is also against our
laws to drink and drive. God would have
us obey these laws. Finally, the Bible says,
"And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit"
[Ephesisans 5:18].
*We are not to become drunk or
intoxicated by wine or any other drink or
illegal drug; for then we may easily succumb
to the temptations placed before us by the devil,
the world, and our own sinful flesh.
[cf. Proverbs 23:29ff.].
*The only thing necessary for the triumph of EVIL, is for good men to do nuthing.
