Quote of the Day Friday, August 26, 2005 Why is it that drinking is a sin? If JESUS thought that drinking is a sin, he would have left the water alone and not turned it into wine. - Nikki Note: Drinking is not a sin. Getting drunk is a sin. Everything in moderation. There are 346 scriptures that refer to drinking. Here are a few. Genesis 19:30-36 30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." 33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 36 So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father.
