The Advent Truth
Everybody wants to quote “Jesus turned water into wine” until you point out what the Bible ALSO says about alcohol.

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

That verse alone should make Christians pause. The Bible literally says alcohol deceives people. It clouds judgment, weakens self-control, destroys families, fuels abuse, addiction, violence, sexual sin, and wrecked lives. Satan has buried millions through the bottle while society laughs about it like it’s harmless entertainment.

And before someone says, “Well Jesus drank wine,” let’s slow down and actually think biblically instead of culturally.

The Bible uses the word “wine” for BOTH fermented and unfermented grape juice. Isaiah 65:8 even speaks of “wine… in the cluster.” That’s grape juice still inside the grape — obviously not alcoholic.

In John 2, Jesus made “wine” at the wedding. But are we seriously supposed to believe the spotless Son of God — who came to save people from sin — miraculously created intoxicating alcohol for a crowd already drinking at a party? That would directly contradict the character of Christ and the warnings of Scripture.

Habakkuk 2:15 says:
“Woe unto him that giveth his neighbour drink…”

Jesus never leads people into temptation or intoxication.

And here’s another one people ignore:

“It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine… lest they drink, and forget the law.” — Proverbs 31:4-5

According to Revelation 1:6, believers are called kings and priests unto God.

So if kings shouldn’t cloud their judgment with alcohol… why are Christians defending it so aggressively?

The Christian walk is not about asking:
“How close can I get to the world?”

It’s:
“How close can I get to Jesus?”

And nobody has ever become more spiritual, more discerning, more self-controlled, or more holy through alcohol.

Not once.
