Is drinking alcohol OK, since even Jesus turned the water into wine?
Jesus did turn water to wine, but it never said anyone got drunk on the wine. Drinking in moderation is permitted, but we are commanded not to get drunk. One time a heavy drinker I knew went to a Bible study, and he opened the Bible for the first time in a long time. The very first verse he turned to was Ephesians 5:18, which says: “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.” (NIV). He later told me he thought the Bible study was “spooky”. Q: Since some Christians I know party with me, whats the difference? A: Of course, just claiming to be a Christian, or just going to church, does not make you a Christian anymore than walking across a football field makes you a football star. An obedient Christian would not do things against Gods commands, such as getting drunk. As a Christian, I used to “party hearty” with non-Christians too. I drank (but no alcohol, only soft drinks), I never used drugs or did anything else dishonoring God. Like anybody
