The case in study scientifically and the spiritual physical consequences of drinking too much alcohol for the human. Yes while God doesn't condemn alcohol. Noah sinned by becoming drunk, I'm not sure if it's inherently being drunk or because being drunken caused him to sin because he wasn't aware and conscious all of that common sense stuff he was woozy you know okay so obviously God doesn't condemn us for drinking alcohol, but he doesn't like it when we're binging it as we do with water, which can kill us too when we drink too much of it. I never thought I'd see this as a boy but I've seen story articles , this woman died drinking too much water for Nintendo switch prize. I'm not sure what would be sinful there that she literally killed herself by intention withought knowing the consequences of death and also that she wanted the item much more than her own life. I've gotten drunk multiple times. Doing nothing sitting bed. laziness the capital sin of sloth does usually lead to gluttony and lust. My biggest sins are lust and wrath so I guess alcohol wouldn't be good for anyone who can't self control themselves as with anyone and anything else , such as mothers who go shopping for useless non sense.

[@mlauntube]

It's hard for this generation of young wipper-snappers to understand the grape juice claims. Now, grapes at the store are washed and often coated with wax or oil to make them look good. But, if you grow grapes in your back yard or if you're old enough to remember, grapes have a dusty white coating of yeast on them. You can see the same thing on ripe pineapples still today on the bottoms and ripe sections. As soon as you crush grapes to get the juice out of them, the yeast starts fermenting them. As The Frugal Gourmet said "You have to do something underhanded to keep grapes from turning into wine". Grape juice is a modern invention. Unless you were at the grape press, you would not taste un-fermented grape juice before the inventions of pasteurization and refrigeration. There is no generation before these inventions that had the leisure time to press grapes for fresh juice drinking. Pressing any fruit was a big mess that you don't get into unless you are going to press a lot of it, usually with lots of people helping, and in the case of grapes, it's all made into wine.

[@breweryministries]

That makes total sense! I had read that non-alcoholic wine (grape juice) didn't exist until Thomas Welch invented it in the 1800's but wasn't sure why that was. The process you shared makes sense! Thanks for sharing that

[@ZoneProfessionalGardening]

Grape juice wasn't drunk, much less kept in Middle Eastern houses, even though it wasn't invented until 1869. Thomas Welch was fascinated by Louis Pasteur, and in 1869, Welch invented a method of pasteurizing grape juice so that fermentation was stopped and the drink was non-alcoholic. He persuaded local churches to adopt this non-alcoholic wine for communion services, calling it "Dr. Welch's Unfermented Wine."

[@Milliardo5]

Which isn't Biblical then as Jesus used wine in the Last Supper and said that it is the one to be used to commemorate Him.

[@breweryministries]

Yeah, that was something I didn't know until I was researching for this video series. Quite interesting! I guess American churches were struggling with alcohol abuse so Welch was trying to help.

It's weird how a some Christians seem to act as though one beer and you're drunk. The principle is don't be given over to anything, which is different from a self-controlled and moderate usage. Also, there was no pasteurization in biblical times.

Yes I agree. Sometimes I wonder if that view just comes from lack of exposure. Or maybe they struggle with it and don't realize not everyone else struggles with it? Not sure.

Alcohol by nature impairs judgment, therefore one would be more apt to overindulge even after the first drink.

The example of Lot and his daughters is a sufficiently good example.

[@dougforeman3946]

Looking forward to the video on alcohol in the New Testament.

[@sidwhiting665]

Good video that summarizes the points I've considered in the past when determining whether or not to drink. I've heard the arguments that Jesus only made unfermented wine for the wedding feast at Cana, but that has several problems. The chief problem is the comment made by the Steward of the Feast who says that the wine Jesus made was the best. He states that normally the host would serve the best wine first, and then only bring out the cheap wine once everyone "had too much to drink".... in other words, that their senses were dulled to a point where they couldn't tell the difference between good wine and cheap wine. Grape juice does not dull the senses like fermented wine; so the statement that everyone was drinking too much unfermented grape juice makes no sense. Jesus did the opposite, saving the best for last. From a practical standpoint, I don't know of anyone who indulges in "too much" unfermented grape juice. For one, it's sickeningly sweat, and second, it just doesn't follow that people would consume glass after glass of unfermented grape juice. I challenge anyone to try to drink more than 15 ounces of the stuff (equal to 3 glasses of wine by volume). It gets old very quickly. The only logical explanation was the wine Jesus made was used as it is often used today, to celebrate and develop a feeling of warmth and fellowship. I do not know anyone who sits around celebrating and drinking "too much" unfermented grape juice, Christians included. Further, Jesus himself said that his critics accused the Son of Man of being a glutton and a drunkard. A drunkard who drinks only grape juice makes no sense, so once again it is clear the Jesus was partaking in what was normal and customary in the 1st Century AD: fermented wine. We can also look at other OT passages. Proverbs 20:1 says, "Wine is a mocker, strong drink is a brawler, and whoever is led astray by it is not wise." I have had beer, wine and whiskey, and in no case did I start mocking people or get into fights. Usually, I'm just sitting around the table with family and friends. Since the effect (mocking and fighting) are not happening, does that mean the Bible is wrong or incorrect? Clearly not! The context is too much drink might cause people to be "lead astray." If you're not being lead astray, then there is no problem. Note: the passage clearly does not say the alcohol itself is the bad thing: it's the effects of having too much (mocking, brawling, being lead astray) that are condemned. I have no problem with people who choose not to drink at all. It's the people who try to stretch the Bible's clear language into saying something it doesn't say that I have a problem with: they start with a belief that "alcohol is bad" and then try to twist the plain meaning of various Bible passages to fit their agenda. Sadly, I've noticed that among some folks who are otherwise fine Christians, often who had problems with alcohol in the past. Seems like their lack of self-control has caused them to take an extreme position and try to impose it upon others who do not have problems with alcohol. The Bible is clear: drunkenness is forbidden. Alcohol is not.

[@breweryministries]

Great points especially about indulgence in grape juice! The context there does seem to point to alcoholic wine. I can understand why someone would want to avoid alcohol due to experience, family history or how they've seen it affect someone but yes, viewing it as always bad does seem like a leap. I myself enjoy craft beer and don't struggle with using it in moderation. I have a harder time not eating too much Easter candy (lol I love Cadbury eggs) but everyone is different.

[@sidwhiting665]

@@breweryministries you make a good point about other "addictions" that cause problem. Easter candy aside, I don't see many Christians grousing about gluttony, in spite of the fact that in the USA obesity kills 100,000 MORE people per year than alcohol related deaths. They whine (pun intended) about alcohol, but if you've seen the waistlines at many churches... gluttony seems to get a pass.

Some form of fasting would’ve been a standard in the first century church (at least on Wednesday/Friday, sometimes longer), with water only as the most rigorous practice.

He’s also correct about Jesus not being a Nazarite, but it’s funny he shows a long haired figure, supposedly representing Jesus, while saying Jesus never took the Nazarite vow.

I believe we have to stop thinking in terms the rest of the world wants us to, and think the way Yahweh intended us to think. Addiction is being ruled by our desires. We are supposed too rule our desires. Thats why fasting and prayer are so important. Not only is it physically helpful to our bodies to periodically fast, but you are exercising control over some of your strongest and most primitive desires. Fast your desires into submission sometimes, exert your authority over them. This along with diet(also covered in the bible) and throw in some exercise, should help. Once again, Jmho, but unless you've tried it you really cant scooff at it.

So the Christian is made to be a Priest and a King, The host of this video watered down the truth of scripture and left out what it really says. Proverbs 31:4 It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink: Proverbs 31:5 Lest they drink, and forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted. Proverbs 31:6 Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish, and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts. Proverbs 31:7 Let him drink, and forget his poverty, and remember his misery no more. Proverbs 31:8 Open thy mouth for the dumb in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction. So if we are priests and kings and the temple of God then a “true Christian” will not drink. Scripture doesn’t contradict itself it just has levels of callings to people that are the true believers and some that are 1/2 in and out of the world. Holy means separated unto God. Now you don’t have to agree with me, but if you think a Christian is okay to put a glass of alcohol to his mouth, you’re wrong.
