what does the Bible really say about
drinking alcohol it's time to learn the
lies hey welcome to unlearn my name is
Lex and I'd like to invite you to join
us each week as we unlearn the lies and
dig deeper into the truth of God's Word
let's get started I've heard people
argue that the wine mentioned in the
Bible was non-alcoholic however we have
examples in the Bible where people drank
too much wine and became drunk that can
only happen if wine is alcoholic and
Noah began to be a farmer and he planted
a vineyard then he drank of the wine and
was drunk and became uncovered in his
tent alcohol is the natural result when
fruit juice permits during fermentation
yeast transforms sugars into alcohol
grapes are full of natural sugars and
there are wild yeasts living on their
skin so as soon as the skin of the grape
is broken fermentation begins to make
wine the winemaker crushes the grapes
releasing the sugary juice exposing it
to the east the fermentation will
continue until all the sugar has been
turned into alcohol or the level of
alcohol in the juice reaches around 15%
when the yeast died naturally there was
no such thing as non-alcoholic grape
juice until 1869 when Thomas Bramwell
Welch invented a method of pasteurizing
grape juice so that fermentation was
stopped and for the first time in
history it was possible to have
non-alcoholic grape juice the idea that
alcohol is sinful originated around the
time when Welch invented non-alcoholic
grape juice up until that point there
was no stigma about drinking alcohol and
in many countries they've never had a
problem with alcohol in fact up until
Welch's grape juice was invented the
church always used wine for communion
when you sure took the wine at the Last
Supper it was without a doubt an
alcoholic drink we know this because
grapes are harvested in the fall and
Passover is in the spring since the only
way to preserve juice at that time was
fermentation we know without a shadow of
a doubt that the wine they drink at
Passover was alcoholic you should have
said to drink this Passover wine in
remembrance of him if drinking alcohol
is sinful then Yeshua would not have
commanded us to drink it in his
remembrance likewise if alcohol was a
sin the nisha would not have created
alcohol for the wedding at
but the Bible says his wine was the best
wine at the wedding meaning it was not
watered down or weak when the master of
the feast had tasted the water that was
made wine and did not know where it came
from but the servants who had drawn the
water knew the master of the feast
called the bridegroom and he said to him
every man at the beginning sets out the
good wine and when the guests have well
drunk then the inferior you have kept
the good wine until now the phrase good
wine is a reference to aged wine wine
that is more alcoholic content while new
wine is wine that has not been aged as
long we see a reference to this in the
Gospel of Luke and no one puts new wine
into old wineskins or else the new wine
will burst the wine skins and be spilled
and the wine skins will be ruined but
the new wine must be put into new
wineskins and both are preserved and no
one having drunk old wine immediately
desires new for he says the old is
better we also see that paul told
timothy to drink a little wine for his
stomach no longer drink only water but
use a little wine for your stomach's
sake and your frequent infirmities in
the torah we are told that we can use
our tithes to buy alcohol or strong
drink for the feasts if alcohol was a
sin we would not be told it was
appropriate to do so and you shall spend
that money for whatever your heart
desires for oxen or sheep for wine or
strong drink
for whatever your heart desires you
shall eat there before the Lord your God
and you shall rejoice you and your
household if drinking alcohol was a sin
then God would not have said they could
buy wine or strong drink as part of the
feast however there are stipulations
about drinking alcohol because the Bible
says that the priests and the Levites
could not drink alcohol when they went
into the temple do not drink wine or
strong drink now nor that sons with thee
when you go into the tabernacle or the
congregation lest you die it shall be a
statute forever throughout your
generations this is interesting because
they were only prohibited from drinking
alcohol when they were going into the
tabernacle which indicates they were
allowed to drink alcohol at other times
it's also important to note that the
Nazarite vow included abstinence from
alcohol which indicates that alcohol was
permitted when not taking such a vow
speak to the children of Israel say to
them when either a man or woman
consecrates an offering to take the vow
of an
right two separate himself to the Lord
he shall separate himself from the wine
and strong drink he shall drink neither
vinegar made from wine nor vinegar made
from strong drink neither shall he drink
any grape juice nor heat any fresh
grapes or raisins all the days of a
separation he shall eat nothing that is
produced by the grape vine from the seed
to the skin the Nazarite vow shows us
that abstinence from alcohol is a
willful act of separation for a time and
does not apply to those who have not
taken the vow drinking alcohol is not a
sin but the Bible warns against being
drunk and do not be drunk with wine
which is dissipation but be filled with
the spirit the Bible also lists
drunkenness among other sins that we
used to do when we lived like the world
for we have spent enough of our past
lifetime in doing the will of the
Gentiles when we walked in lewdness
lusts drunkenness revelries drinking
parties and abominable idolatries the
Bible also contrasts drunkenness with
what it means to walk properly let us
walk properly as in the day not in
revelry and drunkenness not in lewdness
and lust not in strife and envy we need
to heed these warnings because the Bible
is drunkenness as one of the works of
the flesh that will keep us out of the
kingdom now the works of the flesh are
evident which are adultery fornication
uncleanness lewdness idolatry sorcery
hatred contentions jealousies outbursts
of Wrath selfish ambitions dissensions
heresies Envy murders drunkenness
revelries and the like of which I tell
you beforehand just as I also told you
in time past that those who practice
such things will not inherit the kingdom
of God nowhere in the Bible are we told
that drinking alcohol is a sin but we
are told to avoid being drunk numerous
times some people feel a personal
conviction that they should not drink
alcohol if this is the case then I
recommend you do what the Holy Spirit is
convicted you about however you need to
realize that it is your own personal
conviction and does not apply to
everyone if you don't feel any
conviction about drinking alcohol then
drink in moderation and avoid becoming
drunk because of the biblical warnings
against drunkenness
