I do agree with Smiju......... i mean like music......... the viles of
drinking can be debated upon 4ever..... and wot could be even worse is
that....... there are many who use to bible to support their claim..... I
was remember reading an Article in the Don Bosco Madonna and there it was
written that in those days....... wine wasnt treated as an alcohol.........
wot the bible actually spoke abt wine was that it was used as a digestive
when people ate food..... times have changed..... in those days..... u had
wine.... today in the same way we drink water after we eat our
food.........its not that in those day they didnt have water.... just that
wine was more preferred....... the bible condemned the consumption of wine
in the context of it being used as an Alcohol........
urs in faith
