    Default Would you support prohibition of alcohol?

    I am 100% against alcohol and believe the drink is straight from hell.

    I want to see what others think.

    Never. People who don´t know how to drink are the real problem.
    Prohibition doesn´t work. It failed during the depression and the "War on Drugs" is a total disaster. People who really want to drink or use drugs will always find a way to do so, whether legal or not.

    I personally don't drink, but it's a tradition of thousands of years in Europe, like Wine, and should not be prohibited.

    Sound familiar?
    Do you think he was drinking water?

    The Words of Institution (also called the Words of Consecration) are words echoing those of Jesus himself at his Last Supper that, when consecrating bread and wine.

    Alcohol is not the problem.

    Stupid use thereof is the problem.

    1 Peter 4:3-4 - The past life of drunkenness and carousing has no place in the Christian’s life.

    And there are many more.

    A Christian cannot justify drinking.
