Thank for your clarification. That does help my point actually, because there is no distinction within the Quran. In regard to the Gospel saying alcohol heals wounds, might that be a reference to one of two things:
1. The fact that drunkenness causes people to forgot things? Alcohol doesn't heal wounds per se. What the alcohol is doing is disinfecting. What heals psychical wounds is an operation by a medical professional.#
2. Alcohol causes people to get together, say in an English pub and gives them a reason to be sociable with each other and so they put aside their differences. I remember reading a poem once (can't remember the title) about the Great War and it talked about how an Englishman met a German in a pub and how if they met on the battlefield things would be so different.
Yes, i meant disinfecting. Anyway, I guess the word 'sin' is not something we should consider literally. Once, i remember asking my Religion Teacher "if we aren't allowed to drink alcohol in this life, then when can we drink?" With an open heart he replied to me: "don't worry!... in heaven we are allowed to drink as much alcohol as we want, there is no limit"
He basically meant, we cannot get fucked up in this life, otherwise we will end up in Hell. But we could get hangovers in Heaven, it is God's blessings..!!!
This is the teachings of Islam, what do you think?
