So, I am reading that Holy Ghost filled, seasoned Christians are telling me it's ok to drink a little wine-- just don't get drunk.
Eat a little food, but don't over eat-- just don't get fat.
If wine is ok in moderation, would Rum and Coke be permissible?
How about just Rum-- as long as I don't get drunk?
Really, I don't like wine, but I do like Guinness. So it's ok to drink Guinness?
When I tried to enjoy my last beer, it wasn't enjoyable-- but maybe it will be now that I know I can have my beer and still go to Heaven!
Guys, we have to draw a line somewhere-- or else all becomes lunacy!

Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
Mary Jane definitely has medicinal uses.
Is it ok to smoke a little "herb"-- it's naturally good for you!
God created it, so it must be good. My family and I will drink wine with our meals and light up a joint with out dessert. We'll do this behind closed doors, so as to not cause my brother to trip up on my liberty!

That's ludicrous. Pot is illegal. Alcohol isn't. I've smoked pot when I was younger, I just had a glass of wine a few minutes ago. Let me tell you bro from personal experience...the wine isn't a big deal. The dope...now that's not smart.
However, you mentioned medicinal uses. I believe that God made marijuana. I believe it's abused. If harvested and properly used it may have some medicinal value. But as long as it's illegal and as long as people are abusing it...steer clear unless under legal prescription and direction of a doctor.

Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
light salad = healthy
weak wine = biblically sound
Big Mac's = fat body
Henessy = drunkard
Or is it ok to practice building my wine guzzling skills to get to the point where Henessy doesn't make me drunk?

Re: Wine For Medicinal Purposes ?
This is why we need Pastors and other spiritual people in the church to guide folks with Biblical principles-- doing so with love and concern for our never dying souls.
It can be a slippery slope for A LOT of people-- advising them Biblically that it's ok to drink a little wine.
If wine is ok, beer becomes justifiable. Beer becomes justifiable, rock gut liquor is much more affordable than beer.
Schlitz Malt Liquor is good for Christians to drink at the times of fellowship after evening service-- mixed with a little Red Bull and we can all drive home!
If our brothers and sisters began to drink like they SOME of them eat, we wouldn't have a church!
We'd have a congregation extremely overweight drunk Christians!
Alcohol does have adverse affects on health, especially when it is overindulged. But since it is addictive in nature, it could lead to overindulgence-- much quicker than a person developing a MT Dew addiction.
The Mt Dew addiction is bad, but not as unhealthy as an alcohol addiction, I'd say.
Just Say No To Drugs AND Alcohol.

The line is drunkenness and over indulgence. I just had a glass of Riesling within the past 20 minutes. I'm not drunk nor is my thinking clouded. I'm feeling nice and about to check into bed though. 
....if I can pull myself from a real addiction....AFF! LOL

I agree that lines have to be drawn. I've drawn them for reasons that I've explained in this thread, but what boundaries are you suggesting we use? If we want to ignore the scriptural accounts of wine drinking in the old and new testament and Jesus first miracle, then I guess we can call all alcoholic beverages drank in any amount sin.
IMO, that would get back to the adding to thing we were talking about.
