While trying to answer a question that came in to us via email, the question was, can a

Christian drink alcohol?

And this week so far, we've been trying to lay a foundation for this question.

We have seen that they did drink alcohol in the first century.

We did see that Jesus did in fact drink alcohol.

And alcohol did serve a purpose in the first century.

But in America, or in the modernized world, where we have water filtration, is there a

need to drink alcohol?

Well, no.

No, there isn't.

There's no more need to drink alcohol.

But that leads to a second question, and the question that was asked.

Can a Christian drink alcohol?

The answer to that is one that sometimes comes into question.

Because in our day and age, where we have sodas, and juice drinks, and filtered water, and all

kinds of things, what's the purpose of drinking alcohol?

Now I would say that anyone that says they need to have a glass of alcohol, in any form, to take

the edge off, then they would be in sin.

Because they are looking for the alcohol to do something it's not supposed to be doing.

It is not there to help take the edge off.

It actually was there for dysentery initially.

However, can a Christian drink?

Well, if they can drink without getting drunk, then it might be acceptable.

However, if they cannot control themselves, then they should avoid it at all costs.

Now, if someone feels that they have the liberty to drink alcohol, the question has to be asked, should they?

And we will deal with that in tomorrow's podcast.
