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

01:21

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

01:28

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

01:35

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?

01:46

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.

01:54

Can a Christian drink alcohol? The answer to that is one that sometimes comes into question.

02:01

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?

02:11

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.

02:20

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.

02:27

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.

02:38

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

02:44

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

02:49

And we will deal with that in tomorrow's podcast. This podcast is part of the Striving for Eternity ministry.
