There are references in the Bible against drunkenness.  I can't think of anything off the top of my head in the Bible that forbids controlled drinking.\n\nHere are a list of references from the Bible, as well as other scriptures, concerning drunkenness:  http://scriptures.lds.org/tgd/drnknnss.\n\nI do, however, believe that drinking is a sin, except in the case of partaking of the sacrament.

While looking for on-line bible quotes to write my answer, I discovered something about the bible.  It's a "living" document.  \n\nFor Genesis 2:17,\nThe King James version (which was used for hundreds of years) says: "for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die."  \n\nThe "New American Bible has:"\n"the moment you eat from it you are surely doomed to die."\n\nThere's a big difference in being doomed to die, which every living thing is, and being doomed to die today.\n\nMany of the answers given here said that God didn't really mean die, he meant "spiritual" death.  If that's what God meant, why isn't that what God said?  \n\ncagedape calls Kimmy an idiot. then explains what God meant; "Mankind would forever be changed by man being suceptible to death.  Adam and Eve would have been inpervious to death...".  Well Cagedape, that's not in the Bible, and if it's what God meant, I wonder why god didn't say what He meant instead of relying on you to explain it to us "idiots".\n \nCstorm: Claims "there wouldn't have been ANY death before the first sin."  It's a nice theory, but it's not in the bible.  Not only does everything die, everything ends.  The earth will be swallowed up when the sun becomes a supernova.  The idea that we would have lived forever if it wasn't for that darn serpent is, well, a little simplistic, naive, and childish.\n\nPathfinder: Claims god cannot lie.  I can lie.  Does that mean I can do something God can't?\n\nRandy is correct, it's only a tale.\n\nSuppose you left your children alone in a room prepared for a party, and you told them they could eat or drink anything, but not the chanpagne, if they drank from the chanpagne they would die.  They would of course drink the chanpagne, and you could be found guilty in a court of being a deliquent parent.  You would also have lied, and saying "but I meant spiritual death" wouldn't cut it.  Believers cut god a whole lot of slack, otherwise they couldn't keep believing.

Let the Bible answer that question if you are truly a Bible Believing Christian:\nRomans 12:1-2 says\n"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."\nThe Bible also says that our bodies are a temple of God.  What do you want to put in your temple.  Is a beer and loud music going to enhance the Holy Spirit's ability to guide you into truth? Just trying to help.  God Bless.

Sweety God has given us the Bible and told us the many ways to kill the flesh witch is what causes you to sin, trying to please your flesh instead of your spirit makes you sin and keeps you sinning. If I listen to my flesh I would curse out every doubter here, but because I love God and I know that everything I do should give him glory I chose not to listen to or make provisions for the flesh, and yes you can live free of sin once you willingly accept the blood of Christ that's why he died. So not only do I have the word of God to live by I have the strength of the Holy Spirit to resist sin and be free from sin. Fasting and praying allows you to live by the spirit and not by the flesh..... SO NO YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SIN But, doesn't it feel good to know that if I do slip up God will not turn his back on me but, keep giving me chances to get it right, living for Jesus and ending up perfect in God's will is what I strive for as a Christian.\nMatt 26:41\n41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.\n(KJV)

The Bible is not a "rule book" with all kinds of laws.\n\nJust be a nice guy or girl and you'll be ok.\n\nEvery day spent alive is holy.

We KNOW that the truth of the Bible isn't just in the way the words are used, but in the way they effect our hearts and souls.  As for your "boat,"  Hate the sin, love the sinner.  Homosexuality IS  a sin.

Philippians 4:8-9\n"[...] whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."\n\nSo, basically, Paul wrote to the church in Philippi telling them that whatever you do should be righteous and the things you learn from the bible should be put into practice. Can you go out to the movies and have fun? Yes, of course, God wants you to be happy...but remember think about whatever is true, noble, etc. when you do anything.

Well, I'm not a Christian and I don't believe the Bible is the 'Word of God' as Christians claim but..... \n\nI do think this verse has something very poignant to say.\n\nA good tree can be used as an analogy for a good person. A good person is full of goodness, and there is no rottenness found in their being. Whatever that person does or says, will be with the purity of heart and the best intentions in mind. That way whatever comes from them either in deed or things they vocalize, will be to bring about 'good'.\n\nThe bad tree is just the opposite.\n\nI don't think it has anything to do with pro-creation. The 'fruit' is analogy for whatever it is you produce in life. A tree bears fruit, a person produces either good or bad deeds.\n\nI personally like that analogy.

There's a passage of Scripture that speaks of how "A LITTLE wine is good for the infirmities of the stomach", and the Bible speaks openly of it's SYMBOLISM involving purity. Therefore, I would say, don't drink it in excess, for being drunk displeases God and damages the Temple (us) in which He wants to dwell.

Is this Jesus now or Jesus when he was in a human body.I think Jesus could handle his liquor better.(this is pure speculation at my part)You always heard of Jesus drinking wine in the bible and I never heard of moses drinking wine  (I claim to be no bible scholar, thus I could be wrong. There is too much violence in the bible and the characters are painfully one dimensional for me to get into the book) Nevertheless, at the end of Jesus's career he drank lots of wine and ate lots of fish.Fish having a better amino acid profile than desert weeds which was accessible to Moses.Thus, Jesus was younger and more buff than Moses( and being the son of god can't be a negative)----Jesus wins,  a fair bet in Vegas 5:1

It really depends on the person, but I think a lot of people would say that reading such a book would be placing yourself in line with temptation.  But being tempted is not a sin, rather succumbing to temptation is the sin.\nI really think more people need to be educated about things if they are going to talk about it.  I hate having a conversation with someone who is spouting complete BS at me, and they know that I know better!

Only under one of the following two conditions:  If you drink to get drunk, or if you don't offer me one!\n\nSeriously, Paul taught us that all things are lawful, but not all things are profitable (spiritually speaking).  For example, when my children were younger, I stopped drinking all beer and wine, even though they are cultural drinks I grew up with.  Now that they are adults, I occasionally enjoy a beer or a glass of wine, but not for the purpose of anebriation(sp?).\n\nCheck your motives, then let the Holy Spirit lead you.

i think the bible was written in and for different times, if you didn't get divorced just for kicks its a ridiculous idea that you should live the rest of  your life alone becaues anyone or anything says you should. i think being a good person should be good enough, do what you feel is right.

Yielding rocks! My favourite answer was this one...\n\nQuestion:\n\nIs ************ a sin? If yes, where in the Bible?\n\nYieldings Answer:\n\nThe bible says; \n\nThou shalt not ********** with a *********, for thou art a ************ if thou dost. \nLet all ye who ************ be smote with *********** for the ********** is thy ********* and therefore thy *********** will shrivel up and drop off.\nShould thou ************ with a ************ up your ***********, then the ************* shall be thy ***********, and the *********** will be like to that of the ************ on the Jerry Springer show.\n\nROFL!!!! That's just TOO funny!!!
