And David said to Uriah, Tarry here to day also, and to morrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah abode in Jerusalem that day, and the morrow.
And when David had called him, he did eat and drink before him; and he made him drunk: and at even he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but went not down to his house. In the Parable of the Faithful Steward, the Lord teaches us that we ought to be prepared for his coming again and not be found in a backslidden and sinful state. Luke Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest thou this parable unto us, or even to all?
And the Lord said, Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Of a truth I say unto you, that he will make him ruler over all that he hath. But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the menservants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers.
But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. The believers at Corinth involved in heretical beliefs were chastised for coming to church drunk. For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.
What shall I say to you? I praise you not. We have all witnessed destroyed lives and families as a result of alcoholism and abuse. Drinking never strengthens or builds up, it only destroys and tears down. Turning water into wine at the marriage feast of Cana was the first recorded miracle of the Lord Jesus Christ. It not only gave proof of his deity John but led to the salvation of many disciples. John And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee?
His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast.
And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: but the servants which drew the water knew; the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him. The following verses will conclude that, based on this premise, what Jesus made was grape juice and not fermented or alcoholic wine:. Romans It is good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor any thing whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak.
Habakkuk Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink, that puttest thy bottle to him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their nakedness! Jesus was at a formal Jewish wedding ceremony and not a party.
He was there for a purpose and in the perfect will of God. He removed her from the house temporarily, then found a treatment center in California that could help her through both the addiction and her struggle with mental illness.
The therapist who recommended a drink at bedtime never knew what happened. According to a LifeWay Research survey, just 3 percent of Southern Baptist pastors and 29 percent of Southern Baptist laity said they drank alcohol. That compared with 25 percent of non-Southern Baptist, Protestant pastors and 42 percent of non-Southern Baptist, Protestant laity.
When the American Journal of Public Health published in a county-by-county breakdown of alcohol use in America, it caught the eye of Baptist historian Albert Wardin. In majority-Baptist counties, the drinking rate was almost always lower than in surrounding non-Baptist regions — from an isolated county on the Nevada-California state line to a strip of counties in eastern New Mexico to a cluster of counties in north-central Florida.
Greear, Johnny Hunt and Jeff Iorg. There is not a real debate on this prohibition in Christian circles. Paul considers this a vice. He also includes drunkenness in vice lists such as 1 Corinthians Christians differ on how Scripture relates to alcohol consumption that stops short of drunkenness, Lenow said.
The temperance movement, which advocated curbing alcohol consumption, grew out of the Second Great Awakening in the early s and took root with relative speed among Baptists. Six in 10 members of this group say they believe drinking alcohol is morally acceptable. As noted, the gap in views of the morality of drinking between those who are highly religious and those who are not is not huge.
A clear majority of weekly church attenders still believe drinking is morally acceptable. The percentage-point difference in views of the morality of drinking between those who attend weekly and those who never attend church is in fact dwarfed by other issues. The biggest gaps between those who attend every week and those who never attend 45 points or more are found for views on the moral acceptability of sex between unmarried men and women, gay and lesbian relations, abortion, doctor-assisted suicide, pornography, and having a baby outside of marriage.
In other words, drinking is no longer the moral and political issue it once was, as other issues -- namely abortion and gay and lesbian relations -- have taken their place as major causes activating and animating the Religious Right.
