It is not about rules it is realising we can all have a relationship with God that when we get closer to him our sin gets less. He empowers people to stop sinning becase we know his rules help us. As an example drinking might be fun for some people, but I know of a friend who was hit by a car becase he got so drunk, broke ribs and all. So for me I don't drink at all becase I know it can cause harm. So God's rule about drinking is to keep people from harmful things. God is not about rules, you must keep my rules or else I will destroy you, rather he is about showing us the rules are to benifit us, and help us. He actually does really care about peoples walfare, believe it or not.
Wasnt jesus supposed to have supplied the alcohol at a wedding?
This seems to be encouraging drinking does it not.

Quote:John 2:1-11 NIV
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine
Fuck me! thats at least 120 gallons of wine !
