the bible is opposed to drinking now i have heard that a little bit of wine is good for the heart well yeah if it does not have alchol in it it is the grape juice in the wine that is the benifactor so why not just drink regular grape juice proverbs 20:1 says"wine is a mocker,strong drink is raging and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise" the bible uses wine for different things like when in genisis wherer it talks about the story of lot after sodom and gomorrah were destroyed it used the word wine and yes it is talking about wine just read it

bass the bible is not opposed to wine. if you read the line you quoted closely it means it is wrong to let alcohol decieve you.......... jesus drank wine not grape juice....????

I just don't think every one drank lake water or goat milk everyday....it was and remains a staple of many cultural diets.

Prov. 31
Also, Jesus first miracle, He made somewhere around 180 gallons of wine for a wedding party. Nothing wrong with drinking from time to time, but letting the drink overtake you is where problems seem to occur. Balance in everything. Just my opinion.k

Exactly, most things within balance are not sinful; it's the excess that's sinful. The wine isn't a problem until we make it a problem. Same with wanting too much sex, too much power, too much money, etc. Money to live is ok, money to the point of greed is not. Especially when things get to the point where we "make it our god", as with addictions.

Can someone tell me where it says thats Jesus drank wine? I know that his first recorded miracle was the wedding and changing the water to wine,but it confuses me a little that Jesus did in fact drink wine. When the Angel visisted Zechariah, John the Baptists father ,he did mention that he(John TB) will drink neither wine or strong drink. I just "assumed" the same applied for Jesus! Thanks ............peace
