Was Alcohol Also Prohibited In Christianity Or Other Abraham's Religions?
Alcohol has always been prohibited in the religion of Abraham and its all versions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. All positive references to “wine” in Scripture refer to non-alcoholic beverages and all negative references speak of alcoholic beverages. Here are some references: Proverbs 23:20f: Do not mix with winebibbers, or gluttonous eaters of meat, for drunkards and gluttons become poor, and drowsiness clothes them in rags.” Isaiah 5:11f: “Woe to those who rise early in the morning to run after their drinks, who stay up late at night till they are inflamed with wine. They have harps and lyres at their banquets, tambourines and flutes and wine, but they have no regard for the deeds of the LORD, no respect for the work of his hands.” Galatians 5:19–21: “The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: … drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.” Ephesians 5:18: “Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.”
