Once while out with a Bible study, after we finished our session, I was asked why I had ordered a beer with my meal. Now, it is seldom that I drink alcohol but on occasion I’ll have one drink. My response was, “Is it offensive? If it is, I can send it back”. What ensued was a sling of non-Biblical theories of how evil and sinful alcohol is. I have decided to write this essay to show the contrast of the fundamentalist view of alcohol and scriptural passages that speak of the matter.
