Re: Will drinking beer send you to hell?
Wasn't the Corinthian church getting drunk at communion?

Re: Will drinking beer send you to hell?
There is nothing wrong with drinking, at least from a viewpoint of scripture. Jesus drank wine. He made wine. The Israelites tithed wine. At their festivals they drank wine and strong drink.
But, we are taught to avoid wine, and not drink at all. Because, if you don’t drink, you can’t get drunk. And getting drunk WILL send you to hell.
So, just for kicks, let’s apply this principle to gluttony. If we don’t eat at all, it would be impossible to be a glutton.
So why don’t we preach against eating?

That does not at all mean we can assign people to Hell for drinking it if they are not getting drunk.

What’s your definition of drunk?

Does the Bible actually say a glutton is going to Hell?

I don’t think so. I don’t believe it actually says drinking beer will send you to hell either.
All that being said, my post was a weak attempt at humor.

Ever notice Paul response about getting drunk? "You have houses to drink in" 😳

Re: Will drinking beer send you to hell?
My father told a story many times about a man who was looking to hire a chauffeur. He lived in the mountain where the roads twisted around and there were precipices all along the way into town.
He interviewed several men and asked each one how close they believed they could get to the edge of the precipice without going over. A few boasted how they could get within a foot of the edge. One claimed he could get mere inches from the edge without going over.
The last man he interviewed responding by saying he had too much respect to the danger and because of that, he would stay as far as he could from the edge. He was the one the man hired.
Point is this, alcohol is not to be messed with. Some may be able to control it, but many aren't able to do so. It's the leading cause of car accidents and car accident deaths.
Unlike even smoking or gluttony, this vice affects others besides the person drinking. It's a major cause for domestic violence and physical abuse.
I won't say a person is going to hell for drinking, though the Bible does say drunkenness is a sin. But I will point to these other factors and warn against drinking.
I've seen the results firsthand. I've witnessed a drunk driver run a red light and slam into a car. The victim was dead on impact, the drunk staggered and walked away, with barely a scratch. I've witnessed the one who claimed they only drink a glass of wine for dinner only to progress to a bottle then to hard liquor.
As for me, I won't touch it.
"Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?"
Don't do these things and then wonder why the consequences.
