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!
We used to sneak my uncle's cigarettes and go out to the pasture and smoke. I'm so thankful I never got hooked on cigarettes! Whatever adults in your life are doing, kids are going to want to check that out!
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!
I was so sick several years ago that I was just about to call my friend to bring over some of her port wine. I read it was especially used for medicinal purposes. Being that I used to drink a lot before I was in church, I was scared to try, but being that sick - I almost took the plunge.

I hear ya!

Suppose a Christian has stomach probelms and decides to drink a little Passover wine for medicinal purposes,is this person sinning by drinking a little wine ?
A doctor actually prescribed a certain amount of wine for my husband every day. No I don't think it is a sin.

All you have to do is look at the regular stories of the latest 110-115 year old to die. Nearly ALL of them are said to enjoy a "glass of wine" or "shot of sherri" every day.
I used to believe drinking alcohol of any kind was a sin.
Heart disease runs in my family and I had some health problems last year. Everyone over 50 has had heart surgery. My mother died at 54 years old of a heart attack. My doctor advised I watch my diet, exercise, and even proposed that I drink a glass of red wine 4 to 5 times a week with dinner.
I began studying about wines in biblical times and discovered that there is actually far more evidence in the Bible that wine is a blessing not to be abused.
I never get drunk. I've learned to enjoy a good glass of wine with dinner or before bed on occasion. I've also learned to enjoy a good brandy on special occasions. In all things I give the glory of God and thank him for a gift to enjoy.
But here are my rules. I only have a drink with dinner or before bed in my own home or when with family (I'll have a glass of wine with Christmas or Thanksgiving dinner while with family). I never drink anything when out nor do I drink anything around a brother or a sister.

I concur. But you don't need me to. Scripture already does that. Great post.
