It's a bringer of joy to the heart according to the Bible. The only self-prohibition from just drinking wine I know of was the Rekobites in Jerimiah. God specifically commanded they be offered wine, but they refused for their family beliefs. Daniel abstained temporarily because of who offered it, not because of what it was. Lot and Noah were drunks and abusers, but if anything, that served as a lesson. Leviticus does give a specific example of a time when God commanded certain people for a certain reason not to drink wine at all. I'm not Aaron or his sons, nor do I plan on entering the tent of meeting. Nor am I a king and ruler as it says in Proverbs (even though that was is so they don't "forget what has been decreed"). Still waiting for a valid verse. This seems a little futile. Are people arguing that wine is bad and a sin or that drinking wine is bad or a sin or that getting drunk is a sin?
Quote:Leviticus 10:9
9 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:
Quote:Numbers 6:3
3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
