25Then shalt thou turn it into money, and bind up the money in thine hand, and shalt go unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose:

26And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatsoever thy soul desireth: and thou shalt eat there before the LORD thy God, and thou shalt rejoice, thou, and thine household,

other versions call it other wine or other fermented drink.

God's word teaches moderation in drink...if you don't want any..well then just drink Pepsi...but a little wine is probably less of a defiler of the temple.

Because "we Evangelicals" have taught total abstaination and falsely proclaimed that the bible said so, it would behoove us to be cautious who saw us take a drink.

Again , like so many of "our laws" it's not in the bible...it's just our "club rules"

Careful now..your talking about taking "tithes"cashing them in and using them for carnal desires..

Since I had a Grand Father who ruined his life drinking. I would preach to stay away. Drinking is like a drugs to the body. As well is food and other things.

I would preach stay away from the drink...

I think whining should be outlawed and preached against completey!

Oh you mean wine! my bad........ THe scripture is clear in that you not to be given to wine....Also says that wine is good for the stomach sake. But what happens is that some people have no balance and become consumed that it then becomes an issue. But that can be with anything.....I don't drink because I was brought up that you don't....But I really can't see where it is wrong to have a glass of wine every now and then......

You left out a word. It says, "given to MUCH wine."

I think alcohol is fine in moderation if you can handle it. If you can't or have a family history of alcoholism, abstain completely.
