Is God allowed Alcohol in Moses period?
« on: December 02, 2018, 07:37:35 PM »
26 அங்கே உன் இஷ்டப்படி ஆடுமர்டு, திராட்சரசம், மதுபானம் முதலான சகலத்தையும் பணம்கொடுத்து வாங்கி, உன் தேவனாகிய கர்த்தருடைய சந்நிதியில், நீயும் உன் குடும்பத்தாரும் உன் வாசல்களில் இருக்கிற லேவியனும் புசித்துச் சந்தோஷப்படுவீர்களாக.

உபாகமம் 14

இந்த வசனத்தில் தேவன் ஏன் மதுபானம் குடிக்க அனுமதித்தார்?

அதுவும் கர்த்தருடைய சந்நிதியில்?

It’s clear from this verse and others that fermented drink was an acceptable part of the Israelite diet. But the Bible warns against drunkenness (Gal 5:21; Eph 5:18) and urges moderation in using fermented drinks. See Does Proverbs teach abstinence from alcohol? (Pr 20:1).

Deut 14:26, Strong drink - From this it is clear that the use of strong drink is not sinful in itself. The same word appears in its Greek form (Heb., shêcar; Greek, sikêr) in Luke 1:15. But then,
See in Leviticus 10:9 says,
"Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:" - Leviticus 10:9
In the Old Testament ‘wine and strong drink’ covers all liquids that cause inebriation especially those which lead men into folly (compare Numbers 6:3; Deuteronomy 29:6, Judges 13:4, Judges 13:7, Judges 13:14, Proverbs 20:1, Proverbs 31:4, Proverbs 31:6).
However, it is accepted that men do desire it for themselves and that they may enjoy it in moderation (Deuteronomy 14:26).
In this context it must be remembered that when fresh, drinkable water was not available, which was often, wine was the main alternative. But it was wine that brought Noah into folly and brought shame on his household (Genesis 9:21-27), an incident which was from the beginning a constant reminder of its dangers when taken in excess.

Christ’s first miracle of turning water into wine at the wedding at Cana almost certainly involved a fermented beverage, according to Jewish wedding tradition. Of course,  just because Jesus turned water into wine doesn’t prove that He drank the wine at the wedding, (but it would have been normal for Him to do so.) Christians who want to keep a biblical view of drinking wine should either drink in moderation, never to drunkenness, or abstain totally.
All Christians would agree drunkenness is sinful, and Christ Himself warns against it (Luke 12:45). However, a biblical view of wine is that it is given as something to delight in (Psalm 104:14–15). There are plenty of warnings against alcohol abuse, in texts like Proverbs 20:1 "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise." Notice the word “deceived” in this verse. Wine promises joy and peace, but it’s a lie. It only brings problems.
Solomon later rejected his own counsel here and gave himself to wine (Ecclesiastes 2:3). According to the God-given wisdom that he espoused here, this was not wise.
Everything should be used in moderation
"Let your "moderation" be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." Philippians 4:5.
The Greek word for “moderation” here is “EPIEIKES,” and it was translated “gentle” three times, “patient” one time, and “moderation” one time in the (King James Version.) 
"All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."
1Cor 10:23. Amen.
