thank you
25:49
this sorry for the for the day yeah I'm trying to see how I can
25:57
send an invitation to our guests
26:28
okay
26:40
okay I guess he's not able to join us so
26:49
I think
27:03
okay I I told you earlier that some Christians think it is perfect
27:09
perfectly fine to drink alcohol while others think it is not perfectly fine now I have a particular write-up here
27:16
which I would like to you know read it out to all of you so if you're listening now I don't know which of this view is
27:23
correct for you without drinking alcohol as a Christian is good or it is bad
27:35
so I I am interested to hear from you
27:41
foreign
27:55
I want to hear from we have 25 views now so for me personally I write I I get
28:02
this write-up down because I really want us to discuss this as Christians now alcohol consumption is a tough topic
28:09
because you know many people have tried to debate it we have churches like Anglican church and Roman Catholic
28:15
Church Holmes believe is that you are afraid to take alcohol but not much and
28:20
we also have uh you know we have churches just like the church at 10 cooking Church from Plateau State
28:27
Nigeria whereby alcohol is totally forbidding now these are the two
28:32
different perspectives of these churches and also as Christians I want to understand whether taking alcohol is a
28:40
you know it's like it's a good idea for many people because this is something that has been there and many people have
28:47
been debating about that's why I mentioned here that it has been a debating topic now keep dropping your
28:53
opinion on the camera section now why is this a top topic because it's
28:58
it is associated with both joyful and tragic situations you know we have seen
29:04
a lot of adverts on Facebook on Instagram on YouTube and different media platforms whereby they use alcohol as a
29:11
means of advertisement and all they could tell is that the alcohol is that alcohol brings Joy so I don't know the
29:19
kind of drug that alcohol brings but I think this would be a very wonderful opportunity that we can be able to
29:27
interact as a people to understand whether you know to to understand more about alcoholism
29:35
to understand more about alcoholism
29:45
now thank you so much now you know people go
29:52
to weddings and special events and see those in attendance lifting glasses of champagne celebration trying to find a
29:58
Super Bowl party where alcohol isn't part of the festival you know sometimes it has been difficult to go to parties
30:05
or to go to occasions and discover that you know try to find alcohol but you did
30:10
it you know it's not there you know it's you know should I say it's really very
30:16
rare at some point it's really very rare
30:21
[Music] um
30:40
so let me continue
30:46
we can see commercials advertisement social media movies and television simply promotes beer Wine and Liquor as
30:53
means to having a fun and active social life we have seen those kind of things you see your celebrities use wine to
31:00
celebrate you know on social media we see weddings you see you know advertisement wine alcohol liquor is all
31:09
over there all over the internet all over that you know our cities and you
31:14
keep wondering why are they promoting this alcohol so much like this now on the other hand every reading okay on the
31:22
other hand we most likely those of you watching me you most likely know someone who has
31:29
been hurt in some way because of alcohol you may live with an
31:34
alcoholic or no someone who does you personally in your life you might have
31:40
come encounter with someone who takes alcohol someone who you know drink alcohol and you know you know you must
31:48
have come to an experience whereby some people get you know you know accidents
31:54
via alcohol some have a lot of kind of disease exposed to a lot of sicknesses
31:59
and all those things so you know those things really bring a kind of disaster
32:04
or maybe shame to the life of those people I also have another information here
32:10
which I I jot down they said you may live with an alcoholic or not smart what does it you may know a family whose
32:16
relative has died in an accident caused by the consumption of alcohol I personally have experienced both of
32:22
these situations um experience a situation whereby you know a sales summer because of alcohol
32:29
he get you know he had accident and he died I come from a place whereby we have a very big river so there is if you know
32:37
that a brother whereby would get drunk with alcohol and everybody the the the river was full of
32:44
water he came and just you know passed water was just fighting and he you know he just came and tried to cross the
32:52
river and water took it away and that was the end of his story so you know you personally must have come encounter with
32:59
someone maybe true because of alcohol you know he have had car accidents different kind of accidents and yeah
33:05
maybe he have lost his life or maybe he is fine today some people because of alcohol they fell seriously ill and then
33:12
died along the way so looking at all these things is alcohol really good now
33:18
what does the Bible have to say about topic of alcohol use you know we have
33:24
seen many Christians are battling with this topic some want to you know won a fight whereby they will tell them
33:30
alcohol is good some don't you know some hate alcohol even our churches I'll
33:37
give you an example with churches like Roman Catholic Church believe that you are good to take alcohol alcohol is very
33:43
okay for you however they encourage you to take it later when you take it to the exit of getting drunk it becomes a sin
33:49
at that moment however don't you think it will be better to prevent someone from falling into sin by stopping him
33:56
completely from taking alcohol or do you think it's okay for the person to take and meanwhile majority of the people
34:03
taking alcohol always get drunk it was getting it's drunk let me
34:09
continue with what I have here now what what does the Bible have to say
34:15
about taking alcohol now with Mickey I have two perspective or two views from
34:20
the Bible whereby some part the Bible asks you take alcohol some but the Bible said do not take alcohol so we are going
34:28
to see in we are going to see you know basically what this is all about what
34:34
the Bible have to say about taking alcohol as a Christian now let us see
34:42
um foreign
34:48
abstain from consuming any alcohol since they believe scriptures declare it to the same others point to the fact that
34:55
Jesus not only drank wine but he also made wine at a wedding in Canada where
35:00
the the horse had to run out of his own Supply in the middle of the celebration
35:06
Jesus owns mother Mary actually brought the situation to his attention you remember John chapter verses three to
35:14
five whereby Jesus attended a wedding in Canaan and you know people were celebrating and the wine got finished
35:21
and Jesus performed his number first miracle there whereby he turned the water into wine and which was informed
35:29
you know it was like his mother brought that information to him that the the wedding wine has finished their son do
35:37
something and Jesus turned water into wine so some of our Christian Brothers believe that for Jesus to take wine and
35:44
even turn water into wine it is very perfectly okay for a Christian to take
35:51
wine wow that's one of the perspective alcohol is not evil in itself it is one
35:58
of God's good gifts that can be and often is abuse now when we look at Psalms chapter 104 verses 14 to 15 we
36:06
can see that wine is among those things that God created it's among the things that God Made You Know Beatrice or
36:13
whatever however we have said often how we abuse the wine as Christ says we have
36:20
seen a situations where people get drunk a lot and cause a lot of atrocities a lot of hard work we have seen marriages
36:27
being breakdown because of you know taking wine because of you know the partner is
36:33
getting drunk all the time being alcohol and all those things so we have seen because the more we abuse it the more we
36:40
come dangerously Community there are numerous Bible verses that extol alcohol and ones that give dire warnings
36:47
regarding its intake now when you you know there is a
36:53
pascular website called openbible.com that open bible.com listen about over 75
37:00
verses of the Bible that talk against or about taking alcohol now for those that
37:07
still believe that taking alcohol is good one verse is their backbone and that verse is Timothy chapter 5 verse 23
37:14
whereby Jesus uh Timothy chapter 5 verse 23 whereby
37:19
the Bible's Nation to to to uh whereby Paul was encouraging Peter said no longer drink underwater but use a little
37:27
wine for the sake of your stomach and frequently ailment so you can see first
37:33
tomato start like the backbone and this happened uh you know like this clearly supports taking up
37:40
alcohol now this was more of like Paul admonition to Timothy
37:47
Paul was at monitor you know he was encouraging Timothy that Timothy kindly
37:53
take wine for health reasons
37:59
and you know not for pleasure but for health reason now but many people
38:04
believe that for the Bible for Paul to openly ask Timothy to take wine that
38:10
means we are free to take why we are free to take alcohol I personally know
38:16
that alcohol is medicinal however if you are not sick why should I take alcohol why should I take alcohol when you are
38:22
not sick that's where the problems come that's where the problems come Jesus had
38:27
the following to say regarding people who criticized him for drinking alcohol here's something here for John came
38:33
neither eating or drinking and they say he has a demon the son of man came eating and drinking and they say look at
38:40
him a gluten and a drunkard a friend of tax collectors and sinners yet wisdom is
38:45
justified by her Deeds this is Matthew chapter 11 verses 18 to 19 whereby many
38:52
people stand you know the way like against Jesus why is this man eating with Sinners why is he eating too much
38:57
he must be a gluten and now Jesus at that point have to clear doubts and how
39:03
does he let it doubt by telling these people that John the Baptist came he was not eating and people say oh this guy
39:11
must be a demon now Jesus Christ is 18 drinking and join his life and they're
39:16
calling him a gluten so Jesus was more of and he was like wisdom is very far
39:22
from those people so now looking at this looking at all
39:29
these things this is like a backbone for those who
39:35
believe that alcohol is good I don't know of you I don't know what makes you believe that
39:41
taking alcohol is good or evil I've seen a lot of my followers here in the comment section are writing that taking
39:48
alcohol is not bad but it depends on how much you take that is from precious all
39:53
right drop drop more comments I will come to attend your comment
39:59
now beside all these things there is another group who believe that taking
40:04
alcohol is totally same and we have about some Bible verses
40:11
whereby we will base this arguments on and this takes us to
40:17
to Proverbs 20 verse 1 he said white is the mocha strong drink it's a Brolin if
40:24
whoever is Led astray by age is not wise the Bible is telling us that those that are LED astray by wine it is not wise
40:31
now is the Bible asking us to take it but not much this is where the question
40:37
comes and this is where I wanted our guest speaker to be here with us so that
40:43
we can be able to connect for him to be able to educate us more on some of these
40:48
uh topics that seems difficult to us
40:54
ing
41:02
well now another verse that was Proverbs the 20 verse 1. another verse also tell us
41:09
okay that is Galatians 5 verse 21 which stated Envy drunkenness remember
41:15
drunkenness orgies and things like this I warn you as I warn you before that
41:21
those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God now the Bible is telling us those that get drunk those
41:27
that drink alcohol will not inherit the kingdom of God I really want to understand this I want us to understand
41:34
this I like I really want to understand why why is Preparatory verse 1 asking us
41:40
to take it but not excess and it also mentioned that those that take excess mind they got a lot of troubles and
41:47
danger and all those things so I just want to understand this very very well and with this I think I will come to an
41:53
end of our discussion today I will plan with our guests then we will see how within the week or next week we host
42:00
another serious conversation on this topic thank you so much for being with me I love you may the Lord bless you
42:08
peace out bye
