Following was gleaned from: “FALSTAFF’S COMPLETE BEER BOOK”, “CROSSMAN’S GUIDE TO WINES, SPIRITS, AND BEERS”, “WINE, An introduction to Americans”, ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA, and Most important, THE HOLY BIBLE, The Word of God.
Note: The first four books all refereed to the Holy Bible, and presented alcohol and drinking in a ‘glorious and fun’ way. The Holy Bible is not so generous.
This message will mainly address the topic of Wine, in particular,
Did Jesus drink Wine?
Many who drink today defend their drinking by saying Jesus drank!
This message will NOT be addressing the following:
a. Statistics of work, money time and lives wasted because of drinking.
b. The destroyed homes, defiled innocence, misery and poverty brought about by those under the influence of too much drink.
c. Also will not go into detail about the –
-youth who shot his father after drinking 17-20 beers
-father who knifed his wife and 3 year old son after a week of drinking
-drunken husband who doused his sleeping wife with a beer glass full of gasoline and then lit her on fire
-5 month old child who died of neglect and exposure and laid dead in his own crib for 5 days while his drunken parents argued who should call the doctor
-all night teen drinking party that ended in a deadly game of Russian roulette
-drunken father who killed his 3 week old baby with a red hot poker, by inserting it in all the natural body openings
-or any of the other hundreds of gory stories that appear in our daily newspapers every year because of drinking
d. NOR will it review any of the senseless deaths that occur on the highways (daily) because of the “I can drive better when I’m drunk” attitude.
NO, what this will attempt to do is dispel (usually by Christians) the justification of drinking, BECAUSE Jesus drank wine.
