Will drinking beer send you to hell?

[hometown guy]

Yup it will...

Wine too.... I wouldn’t even drink it for communion.

[diakonos]

Yeah, the Apostles must be on fire right now.

[Nicodemus1968]

How about for the crowd that says show me in the Bible where it says “I can’t drink beer?”

[Michael The Disciple]

Yes and no. Yes if you are getting drunk. No if you are not. I have not drank Beer for 45 years and have no desire for it. There are people who should not drink it altogether because they have a past of being overcome by it. That does not at all mean we can assign people to Hell for drinking it if they are not getting drunk.

Jesus both made and drank wine. Will one go to Hell for not taking communion might be a good question.

What about a non alcoholic drink? Like O’doul’s?

Not unless you get drunk. But then, why even get that close to something which could lead to sin?

1 Corinthians 8:9-13 is applicable to this topic.

But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.

Getting drunk is the sin, drinking wine or beer is a holiness issue.
I also think drinking strong drink is just wrong.

Exactly! What about,

Ephesians 4:27
Neither give place to the devil.

1 Thessalonians 5:22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.

They may have drunk wine back then for their infirmities, does that mean its ok today? It’s not about getting drunk, or drinking non-alcoholic, or show where I’m sinning.

Acts 15:28
For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and to us, to lay upon you no greater burden than these necessary things;

Like one evangelist from Canada testified,
“I was called upon in church to testify, and I said, I want to know what Holy Ghost y’all have? I understand you went down to the beach in your underwear, my Holy Ghost wont let me go to the beach in my underwear. Why would my Holy Ghost not allow me to, and your Holy Ghost allows you to? He said, I was not allowed to testify in that church ever again!”

Does it seem good to the Holy Ghost...
