"Wine is a mocker and strong drink is raging, and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise"
Here we have the God breathed words spoken in plain, straight forward english, without parable or metaphore, the answer regarding whether or not it is permissible for the believer to drink wine or "strong drink".
Read Jeremiah 35 to find out what Yahweh thinks of those who refuse to drink wine.
The refusal to drink wine or strong drink is another character trait of the Elect Remnant Bride, those few in number who lay aside ALL things that they might gain a greater reward.
The mass multitude of professing christians who demand their "christian liberty" will be given it, but along with it they will suffer loss. They think just because Jesus supposedly drank it and changed water into it at a wedding, then it's ok for them to drink it in "moderation". (Does the phrase "drink responsibly" on the tv in football season ring a bell?) When their children grow up will they also drink "in moderation"? I'm sure there will be some alcoholics in the bunch, "after all who can say what is moderation"?
The professers will argue, debate and parse it and in the end will ridicule the Elect Remnant who shun it like the Rechabites. The INSISTANCE on having one's "liberty" is actually rebellion.
