get real, the drunkenness is the sin. her this guy is absolutely correct. wine was commonly used because the water was full of bacteria and germs. grape juice was used but with no refrigeration it would ferment and yes you would have some alcohol. to say otherwise would clearly show someone to be ignorant. chrsit made wine not juice. thats a fact. in europe they have a glass of wine with a meal just as they always have.because some abuse does not make it wrong. gluttony is sinful too.stop eating

@Livatube LOL. And if it's not a sin but a man-made-up rule, then loving God won't get in the way of enjoying that non-sin. Thus we can drink wine. The word used by Noah, being the same used by the priests in temple ceremony.

I don't drink. Having said that I think that Ps. 104:15 should be included in the mix where God makes, "wine that maketh glad the heart of man".

Dont you think the Lord experienced some merryment induced by alchohol . That it even put jealousy in the hearts of observers . To relax is not altering the state of conciesness. It is settling the nerves and great for the health including lowering the blood pressure. But you are not opposing the health aspect you are opposing drink and be merry. Again you are mostly wrong. The Lord demands you do not hand yourself over to those drunken spirits , of coarse. Dont be drunk. Be Christian.

@Enoch2 Noah got drunk and naked and his boy came in his tent and saw him naked . But the boy was cursed cause of Noah's drunkin naked sleep . He (The Boy ) and Canaan had to become slaves because he walked in and his father was sleeping butt naked drunk . Give me a break .

[Enoch2]

@ROCKSGGLP Noah got drunk--with bad and lasting consequences! But Noah was a man of faith, believing God about the flood, so he was saved. Through believing in Christ we receive the righteousness which is by faith (Rom 3:22), which Noah had:

"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith." Heb 11:7

@delitemyheart yea i read that passage yesterday, it was a coincidence :)

[delitemyheart]

@andrewwk6 Exactly!...Also we are not to judge one another in matters of food or drink. Whatever we eat or drink must be in faith before the Lord. See ROMANS 14:13-23 KJV.
