Indulgence in alcohol is never recommended in God\u2019s Word. Its use is usually negatively spoken about. Here are some reasons why a Christian should avoid alcoholic beverages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Alcohol is dangerous. Even wine is likened to a poison that will ruin one\u2019s life!<br><em>\u201cLook not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright [fermenting]. 32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.\u201d Pro. 23:31-32<\/em><\/li><li>Alcohol should not be drunk by a wise person.<br><em>\u201cWine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.\u201d Prov. 20:1&nbsp;<\/em>Wine\u2019s influence will make one mock or deride others. Strong drink will often make one loud and cause him to show his anger.<\/li><li>Alcohol will increase one\u2019s problems and affect one\u2019s health and mental stability.<br><em>\u201cWho hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes? 30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.\u201d Pro. 23:29-30<\/em><\/li><li>Alcohol will control a person and affect one\u2019s thinking and discernment.<br><em>\u201cBut they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink are out of the way; the priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink, they are swallowed up of wine, they are out of the way through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.\u201d Isa. 28:7<\/em><\/li><li>Alcohol will affect one\u2019s will.<br><em>\u201cWhoredom and wine and new wine take away the heart.\u201d Hos. 4:11&nbsp;<\/em>Notice that there are two types of wine: new, unfermented wine, and alcoholic (fermented) wine.<\/li><li>Alcohol will affect one\u2019s desire to do something for the Lord and the desire to be industrious.<br><em>\u201cWoe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them! 12 And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.\u201d Isa. 5:11-12<\/em><br><em>\u201cBe not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. We are not to even be around drinking, so certainly the Saviour would not have broken this commandment.\u201d Pro. 23:20-21<\/em><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These verses, and many more, show we should not drink, especially if we are concerned about keeping the \u201ctemple\u201d that God gave us clean (I Cor. 6:19) from temptations and sin. However, what confuses many, and is often used as a way to justify drinking, is the Bible\u2019s usage of the word \u201cwine.\u201d<br>In the New Testament, that one word is used to describe both alcoholic and non-alcoholic wine. The Greek word \u201coinos\u201d is used to reference fermented and unfermented \u201cwines.\u201d The context of the verse usually reveals which type of \u201cwine\u201d it is referring to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What is non-alcoholic \u201cwine\u201d? We call it grape juice. Sometimes the Bible refers to it as \u201cnew wine\u201d (Mat. 9:17, Luke 5:39). Understand that in biblical days, there was no refrigeration and that it was hot, which would quickly ferment the \u201cnew wine.\u201d To keep this from happening, the new \u201cwine\u201d was often simmered, so that the water would leave the \u201cwine.\u201d What would result would be a thick, grape syrup that would keep for a long time. It also was called \u201cwine.\u201d Before it was drunk, water would be added to it again. An ancient shipwreck was recovered that had a cargo of containers of this grape syrup, and it was found to be still preserved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are other reasons why a Christian should not drink, even wine. They include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Fermented wine is a picture of sin! It is the yeast (\u201cleaven\u201d) in the grape that turns the juice to alcohol. Yeast is a picture of iniquity, as it spreads and \u201cruins\u201d (fermentation is a decaying and rotting process) many things it is placed in. For this reason, it not only should not be drunk, but it should NEVER be used in the Lord\u2019s supper; as Jesus was sinless, and should not be pictured as sinful by fermented grape juice. Furthermore, for the same reason, raised bread should not be used. A little \u201cleaven\u201d in grape juice or flour will raise and spread throughout the product, just as a \u201clittle\u201d sin spreads and affects whatever life it touches.<br><em>\u201cA little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.\u201d Gal. 5:9<br>\u201cYour glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?\u201d I Cor. 5:6<\/em><\/li><li>Many justify drinking because Jesus turned water into \u201cwine\u201d (John 2:9-10). It was not alcoholic wine He changed from water because if He did that, He would have been serving alcohol that would have earned Him God\u2019s \u201cwoe,\u201d rather than God\u2019s approval on His life (Mat. 3:17). Jesus\u2019 conversion was also not an example of biblical doctrine on drinking, but it was a miracle to show Jesus was God in the flesh.&nbsp;<em>\u201cWoe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness!\u201d Hab. 2:15<\/em>&nbsp;If one is not to give it to others than he should not be drinking it himself.<\/li><li>Alcohol is often a gateway to other sins. One sin usually leads to others, and alcohol is no exception.<br><em>\u201cThine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.\u201d Pro. 23:33<\/em><\/li><li>Some twist I Tim. 5:23 around to say that it is okay to drink wine for your health. Any drunk or doctor will tell you that alcohol will tear up anyone\u2019s stomach. Alcohol irritates one\u2019s digestive system, including the stomach, causing it to produce too much acid. This can lead to gastritis, stomach pain, vomiting, diarrhea, and even bleeding. Look at the beer belly of a beer guzzler for proof. God, of course, knows all this, so alcohol consumption cannot be what I Tim. 5:23 is referring to.&nbsp;<em>\u201cDrink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach\u2019s sake and thine often infirmities.\u201d I Tim 5:23&nbsp;<\/em>I read that to get the \u201cgood\u201d chemical in wine that is supposed to help one\u2019s health that many, many bottles of wine each day should be drunk. Drinking that much would qualify one as a drunkard whom the Bible condemns. A better choice for their stomach\u2019s health would be to eat grapes.<\/li><li>What is \u201cdrunk\u201d? How many drinks does it take to be \u201cdrunk.\u201d An excellent answer to this question is from Jim Jorgenson in Should I.&nbsp;He wrote, \u201cPerhaps you would say, \u2018It would take six beers to make me drunk.\u2019 If you only drink one beer, then you are one-sixth drunk. You are one-sixth less able to serve God than you are before drinking.\u201d<\/li><li>We are not to have the appearance of doing anything wrong. We are to have an upright testimony. Drinking would give an appearance to others that we were drunkards.<br>\u201cAbstain from all appearance of evil.\u201d I Thes. 5:22<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Christians are to be led and guided by the Spirit of God, not the spirit of drunkenness. Interestingly, the old-time drunkards knew that drinking was not of God, and the wrong spirits influenced users of it. To prove that look at a bottle of booze, and it will still be identified as 50% (or another number) \u201cspirits.\u201d Drinking it leads one to follow the wrong spirit, and it will not be the Spirit of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Christian should be \u201cChrist-like,\u201d as the name implies. He should not even be close to the edge of the godless world, from which he was saved. He should be as far from temptation and sin as he can get. One cannot lose his salvation, but one can lose his Christian testimony and be ensnared by many of the same pitfalls the unsaved fall into when they indulge in alcohol. &nbsp;All lose when they drink booze!<br><em>\u201cAnd be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;\u201d Eph. 5:18<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s Thought:&nbsp;<\/strong><br>\u201cAlcohol is a very effective dissolving agent.&nbsp;It dissolves families, marriages, friendships, jobs, bank accounts and neurons, but never problems.\u201d \u2014 Author Unknown<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Words to Understand:<\/strong><br>Sluggard: a lazy person<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Today\u2019s Reading:<\/strong><br><em>Proverbs 20<br>1 \u00b6 Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.<br>2 \u00b6 The fear of a king is as the roaring of a lion: whoso provoketh him to anger sinneth against his own soul.<br>3 \u00b6 It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.<br>4 \u00b6 The sluggard will not plow by reason of the cold;
