Proverbs 20:1 "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."
According to Strong's, "strong drink" means "...an intoxicant, that is, intensely alcoholic liquor: - strong drink, + drunkard, strong wine."
I didn't realize they knew how to make liquor that far back.

Skip the wine and go straight to Nyquil.......Pentecostal sip'n whiskey......
Seems the scripture advocates a "little" wine for the stomach sake, but not drinking it for social gatherings and parties or wine wherein there is excess.

Seems to me you are right.

My mother in law is a holy-ghost filled christian who drinks 4 oz of wine at night, for health reasons, per doctors instructions. Nothing more, nothing less. It is not a temptation for her to drink more or to "get drunk". Do I think this is wrong? Not in the least!

The doctors told my dad to do the same for heart issues......I think it would be much better on your body than all the chemicals from meds that doctors prescribe...
LOL... This has nothing to do with the thread..but anyway... I was reminded of when I was about 16 or 17. I grew up in an apostolic home so I never had a drink of wine before... No big deal... But I was over a friends house and I was curious what the big deal was...Why was my friend so anxious to have a drink when her parents weren't home... What was so great about the taste of wine... Sooooo.... She poured me a small amount of which I tasted... Kind of like you would taste a new coffee or something else... I let it sit in my mouth...Thought about that after taste... and that was it... I wasn't tempted to get wasted....I wasn't even doing it out of rebellion...no big deal right? WRONG.... my cousins were there also, did the same thing...but before I was home, they had called my mother and told them I was drinking wine....LOL...Those backstabbers.... They were happy to see me in trouble...
anyway, carry on!
