Sting of Venom from serpents

Proverbs 20:1 (NLT) Wine produces mockers; alcohol leads to brawls. Those led astray by drink cannot be wise.

Many Christians think we are allowed to drink wine. They say the bible says "drunks" cannot enter the Kingdom of God so therefore as long as they do not get drunk, they are allowed to drink wine. One other reason is that they say Jesus made wine so why would wine be restricted.

Proverbs 20:1 (AMP) Wine is a mocker, strong drink a riotous brawler; and whoever errs or reels because of it is not wise.

The NLT says wine produces mockers. The amplified says wine is a mocker. So why would Jesus make something that makes HIM and others to be a mocker? Why would Jesus make alcohol that leads to fights?

Christians say Noah got drunk. Just because he got drunk does not make it right. After all, the whole world just got destroyed.

Deuteronomy 32:33 (AMP) Their wine is the [furious] venom of serpents, and the pitiless poison of vipers.

There is a wine and liquor in which comes a sting of venom from serpents to those who drink it. It starts with a buzz as one consumes it. They are the poison of pitiless vipers. What good has come from drinking? What good has come from drinking that is produce by the world? The word "wine" in the bible is used generically.

As Christians we are to be set apart from the world. As Christians we are not to be doing what the world does. As Christians we are called to holiness. They say Jesus made wine? Well, the wine Jesus made was from water. Is the wine in the stores made from water? No, they are made from grape and by the works of man's hand for monetary profit.

When you drink wine made by Jesus from water, then you will have my approval. This wine is the Holy Spirit. Let us drink from HIM. He is the New Wine. We are to be open to the dynamic movement of the Holy Spirit as He moves in His people.

The enemy can only counterfeit. He brings it in physical form full of venom to give you a counterfeit high which is only temporary and at the end, empty. It is marketed as healthy. But at the end, it will lead to death. 


Isaiah 5:22 (AMP) Woe to those who are mighty heroes at drinking wine and men of strength in mixing alcoholic drinks!—

Habakkuk 2:5 (AMP) Moreover, wine and [a]wealth are treacherous; the proud man [the Chaldean invader] is restless and cannot stay at home. His appetite is large like that of Sheol and [his greed] is like death and cannot be satisfied; he gathers to himself all nations and collects all people as if he owned them.
