Some time ago, the newspapers around the country reported a famous preacher's comment about social drinking. He said, "I do not believe that the Bible teaches teetotalism. I can't; Jesus drank wine. Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding feast. That wasn't grape juice, as some of them try to claim." This is false as false can be. Of course, many people have held this view, through the years, but it is a sad day when a man who is noted as a Bible preacher also espouses the same position. So, it is incumbent upon us to look into the Bible itself and see what the scriptures actually teach about the drinking of wine.
Another reason that such a study is so important is that, even though the drinking of hard liquor has decreased, wine consumption has grown by leaps and bounds over the past few years. To arrive at the truth, we must consider the following facts from the Bible in this booklet. PUBISHER'S COMMENT: This was written by Dr. Lackey in 1985. The situation is far worse in 2020. Truth has "fallen to the ground" (1 Samuel 3:19).
