Proverbs 31:6,7

Thank you very much.

But should christians work for producers of Alcohol?

Many christians work for breweries and Distillers.

God bless.

I take a stand on sound Biblical Truth on this scripture. It was not until I grew in my faith that God opened my eyes to the many scriptures on drinking. I have been studying alcohol in the Bible for a few years now since I realized that drinking alcohol is not sin Biblically. Kings are not to drink alcohol for judgments’ sake. Judging the people he needed a clear and undisturbed mind. This is a command to kings in the Bible.
If people are suffering with affliction, depression, bitterness of heart and so on alcohol can be used as a relief from such suffering.
The apostle Paul told Timothy to drink a little wine for his stomaches sake and his FREQUENT infirmities. Timothy was an overseer simular to a Pastor. Frequent in my understanding is often. God created the world and everything in it and said it was good.
One persons faith permits him/her to drink and another mans/womans faith does not.
God told the same person at some times to abstain from alcohol, and at another time in their life told them to drink. There is a time and season for everything under the sun. To one to drink it is sin to another it is permissible. Let each one determine in his heart and conchice sake what is permissible and what is not. Is it not God that justifies, and not man or woman?
And we are not to condemn or judge someones views that it is not permissible or to condemn or judge the one that drinking alcohol is permissible.
Biblically it comes down to the weak and strong in faith.
We are not to drink to excess which implies being drunk all the time. All things are good in moderation and everything has a use under the sun.

I agree with you all, Grace and proverbs31. However, Grace, the definition of repenting is “turning away from sin” (Merriam-Webster). So repenting isn’t just about feeling guilty and sorry to God, but it’s actually turning away from your sin and not coming back to it. So people who continuously drink probably will not inherit the Kingdom of God since they have not repented their sins.
Furthermore, according to 1 Corinthians 10:13, “God will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” Yes, God sees our heart, but we always have to remember that we have no excuse for continuously repeating our sins since God never let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.
Although I’ve always thought that drinking is a sin, now I do agree that drinking itself is not a sin. However, according to Hebrews 12:1, “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” If alcohol helps people in their relationship with Jesus Christ and carrying out His will, sure. Go ahead and have some. However, I’m a college student and I’ve seen so many people getting drunk and came up with a conclusion for myself that drinking usually hinders us, not helps us, with our relationship with Jesus Christ. If you’re drinking in order to build a relationship with other non-Christians and trying to evangelize them, I think drinking isn’t hindering you because you are drinking in order to carry out what God wants you to do with your life–making the disciples of all nations. However, if you’re just drinking for fun and entertainment, I think there’s a problem with that.
But, once again, I agree with you all, but I’m just adding onto your comments. And thank you for your ideas–they have widened my view on drinking alcohol.
