bros I have forgotten the exact book of the Bible where is says wine is good for ur health.....I think for stomach or liver.

Its just the abuse of it, and wen u mix or probably get addicted, then it surly is a sin cos it will push u to sin.

You mean 1 Tim 5:23 "Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities" now this was what apostle meant in that verse of the scripture.
First, Paul was talking to Timothy, not to people today. The conditions were such that Timothy could no longer drink water. I have been to places were the water in some places is not fit to drink because of the germs and bacteria it contains. If one drinks it, he will become sick to his stomach. This is probably what was happening to Timothy. In Timothy's day they had not made the medical advances we have today. Paul's suggestion to Timothy regarding the medicinal use of wine has nothing whatsoever to do with the practice of social (wine) drinking today.
Second, the wine was to be used for medicinal purposes, "For thy stomach's sake." How many people drink wine for their stomach's sake? We take medicines for our infirmities (diseases), but once the illnesses are gone, we stop taking the medicines the doctors prescribed for them. The same would be true in Timothy's case. Once the infirmity vanished, he probably ceased to take the wine as medicine, just as we would do today.
Third, LOOK at the word little. It talks about "small, of things with regard to size or quantity." How much medicine do we usually take when we're sick; perhaps a teaspoon or tablespoon full? Or maybe a little more? Do those of you who advocate drinking wine drink a little? And do you drink it as a remedy for some illness you have? If not, why do you drink it?
Fourth, look at Eve's deception. Satan deceived her by lying. Eve knew that God commanded them not to eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden, lest they die. But Satan told Eve, "Ye shall not surely die; for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be like gods, knowing good and evil." (Genesis 3:4,5)
Satan got Eve to disobey God by telling her a lie and getting her to believe it. He convinced her that it was all right to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, even though God had forbidden it. Likewise, Satan convinces many today that it is all right to drink wine (other than for medicinal purposes), even though God forbids it. Notice what God said about fermented drink: "Wine is a mocker strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is NOT WISE." (Proverbs 20:1) Notice also the warning about the intoxicating effects of wine found in Proverbs 23:29-35. The passage clearly states that those who are "DECEIVED" into thinking it is all right to drink wine are "NOT WISE!" Could it be any clearer?
Since we are on the subject of deception, let's observe the marriage feast in Cana where Jesus turned water into wine, or did he turn it into booze? (John 2:1-11) Many believe, because of Satan's deception, that Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God, turned water into an alcoholic beverage so the men could become drunk (immoral; Galatians 5:19-21). Do we really believe that Christ would go against His Father's teaching; that He used His miraculous power to produce about 120 gallons of intoxicating wine, which the Holy Spirit denounced as "a mocker" and as "the poison of dragons"? The burden of proving this lies with those who accuse Jesus of turning water into intoxicating wine. John said nothing about Jesus committing such an immoral act. To think that God's Son turned water into

definitely a movie

espn:
yes that's true don mind those Muslims jor.. dey like killing like the one that happened @ LAS VEGAS!

You are trying to be sarcastic right? But the one thing you always forget is that yes he might be a Christian that killed and nobody tells you that some Christians don't kill but you are just missing the whole point. He is just a bad guy and he never, I repeat he never shouted "Allah huakubar" nor "Jesus" before the killing... Bad Christians don't kill in the name of God, they kill for being bad and for themselves, then I know you know how bad Muslims kill. So that's the difference.. Therefore you have no case to proof or talk about by bringing in the Las Vegas shooter into the spot..

Drink and don't be drunk

As if they are not human beings, as if the same blood running in ur vain is different from theirs...as if their body nah firewood. These people are not angels, they are just like u and I. Religion apart cuz I don't believe in that religion bullshiti....

emmie14:
Islam teach and encourage violence secretly. Christianity has no secret teachings. Transparency is there hallmark and condemns violence in totality.
Reverend fathers and sisters are human beings. And can chill. Bible never condemn drinking but drunk ens is considered sin. Drinking and getting drunk are different state and feelings. So judge your selves.

Still cant figure out any thing wrong with this.
Drinking is only a sin when you allow it to control

That statement in bold type is a product of ignorance which has become a fallacy among the ranks of the unenlightened Christians

Were the murderous crusades not done in the name of "God", whether shouted or not?
Were the wars of religion not fought in the name of "God", whether invoked at the time of cutting people down or not
Or are you saying that people killed by the church during the inquisition because of "heresy" were despatched so brutally in the service of the devil
The Child witches being killed are murdered by the Church in Nigeria the name of God. Or did the church act in the name of Satan?

Is this thread nt enough reason to abstain We lose a whole lot trying to prove to the world that drinking is bad or good, but it cost us absolutely nothing to abstain. Our lives could be sermons, you know, touching lives even without saying a word. Let choose to abstain and gain those accusers than battle over mere bottles and drag Christ into shameful talks.

Why are Nigerians so hypocritic. What is wrong in a clergy taking few bottles/glasses of wine?
It becomes bad when you abuse it or get drunk. For one I have met some pastors smoking right after church service in Europe during winter. All they do is try to be cautious of the environment while they burn their cigarettes and they don't hide them

dainformant:
A Reverend father and some reverend sisters were pictured chilling with bottles of beer after the day's work. The unusual pictures have gone viral since they were shared on social media platforms.

They are drinking anointing holywata to shine eye for miracles
The hood does not make the monk
After all police dey wear babaringa with bathroom slippers carry kalashinko dey waka for street
Armed robber come wear police uniform dey mount road block

frosbel2:
They pretend to be holy but commit some of the most gross acts of sexual deviance

oh please, they are humans and not God, allow God judge them.

Tamass:

I give up man! you guys are just too difficult. So far i know i am a muslim and my religion kicks against violence

yeligray, like most Nigerian Christians, is empty-headed. Don't force it on him. They know very little about Christianity, but know too much about Islam. As far as this forum is concerned, we don't take them seriously. Ignore them.

Drinking and smoking is not a sin in the Roman Catholic Church, nor is it a sin in the Anglican Church. These Churches are older than most and are still strong today. The greatest hypocrisy comes from modern day Churches.

Doing the Lord's work in unusual ways

Tamass:
Movie or no movie if muslims are caught doing this now..they will shout hypocrites,liars and all sort! Since the aforementioned happened to be xtians they will just come here and say end time...let me park well and watch the real hypocrites

Drinking beer is not sinful or bad according to Christian teaching.

God bless you. Drinking alcohol is nothing bad according to Christian teaching. The Pope himself can drink beer if he want to. Yes, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI drank beer in public some months back sef

Blasphemy

How many times have you seen christian male and female suicide bombers killing innocent people, destroying properties because of stupid secret teaching with hope of 7 virgins as reward in hell fire. What is the reward for the female suicide bombers? Just that a christian drank beer/wine which christian religion did not regard as sin. In Gospel of st.John chapter 2vs1-10 at Galilee Jesus Christ changed water into wine.you have wine company there till date. Alcohol is is wine for preservation. Paul told Timothy to stop drinking only water but little wine for his stomach...1timothy 5:23. So don't get drunk. Your limit in alcohol varies individually.

Are you sure it's not a movie?

This is no movie, it is real, its in Jalingo Taraba state, the Catholic church is at Mile six by pass and they have a bar, restaurant and a hotel in there with conference room and all that, that is thier bar. I lodged in the hotel for like a week the first time moved to Jalingo before I got an apartment and I still go there to chill out now cause the place is cool and matured.

Hahahahahahahaha check the like. Yeye practice

asuustrike2009:

Proverbs 23:29-35 Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has conflicts? Who has complaints? Who has wounds for no reason? Who has red eyes? Those who linger over wine, those who go looking for mixed wine. Don’t gaze at wine because it is red, when it gleams in the cup and goes down smoothly. In the end it bites like a snake and stings like a viper. Your eyes will see strange things, and you will say absurd things. You’ll be like someone sleeping out at sea or lying down on the top of a ship’s mast. “They struck me, but I feel no pain! They beat me, but I didn’t know it! When will I wake up? I’ll look for another drink.”

Go and learn the difference between taking wine and getting drunk.
