The word translated “wine” may have had different meanings in different instances and contexts. (We have many similar words in English.) Paul may have been speaking of a strong, but non-alcoholic, form of grape juice. Modern studies now show that 100% grape juice has the same medicinal properties as modern wine. So I am not convinced that Paul was telling Timothy to drink alcohol for his health. That being said, I believe taking alcohol for medicinal purposes is allowable. (In some instances. Broken hearts don’t count.)

Not a scholar or theologue, I just play one in real life.

Now a little question:
Proverbs 20:1 – “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.”

Is Coffee considered a strong drink???

God bless you man!

Keep it strong. Keep it real.

Not worth the pain it has the potential to cause.  All it takes is one drink for some to become alcoholics…

Me?  I’ll stick to my tea  and ginger ale. =P

Good thoughts, and you come to a conclusion based on Scripture, which is admirable. My friend wrote about this topic, from the other side of the scale. I also thought it was a good-thoughted post: http://praiznazn.blogspot.com/2007/03/i-3-jesus-alcohol.html and you can read that if you’re into reading other people’s opinions.

But ’tis true that only one of you looked into the Bible. Iz ok. I think this is a fine discussion topic.
