Has anyone besides me discovered that the Bible COMMANDS us to get drunk occsaionally?

I have been SHOUTING that message for years. It also commands that you get other people so drunk that they can no longer remember their pain; trust me, that's a lot of whiskey. Sometimes, you'd be lucky to find a "Christian" who will buy a hurting person a cup of coffee or take their phone calls.

The fact is, a whole moose-loaded of "Christians" have Compassion Deficit Disorder.

yes the bible says that to the dying

Drunkenness is a sin.

"Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise."(Prov. 20:1)

No, you would have to read it in because it is not there.

The fact of the matter, NO, if you are a true believer of God or a child of God or God chosen, you will not drink wine or strong drink, read Leviticus 10:9 Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:

Why else would people drink?

no, it does not. it speaks of alcohol in moderation, but never excuses drunkenness.

Yes paul said something like that to timothy because he has stomach disease. But it is not to get drunk it is for his stomach. 1 timothy 5:23

Mt 11:19: The Son of man [Jesus] came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners...

IT really doesn't...not within context..

Now it does only advise against STRONG drink...and being a drunkard...

but the occasional toddy for the body seems ok.
