Is Paul endorsing the consumption of alcoholic beverages when he instructs Timothy to drink wine for his stomach's sake in I Timothy 5:23?

I guess I didn't isolate the part that bothered me. It is the other drink mentioned. The New King James says "wine or similar drink".

Please explain Deuteronomy 14:26 to me.

"Many people think that the Bible is in agreement with drinking alcohol ." this is how you start your tract.

Christ's first miracle was the turning of water into wine at the marriage feast. I was always taught that the wine was unfermented.

You said that yayin is unfermented wine or grape juice and then say that Deut. 32:33 tells us that fermented wine is poison.

I have always grown up being taught that the water Jesus turned into wine was unfermented.

These two questions came at different times, but I believe they could be related. 1. If a husband is into drunkenness, he steals from his wife and their children, he has been verbally and physically abusive, and he has had extra martial affairs, is she wrong for divorcing him (paraphrased)?

Liquor

My husband WAS a recovering alcoholic . He has drastically fallen off the wagon again.

I need scriptures for a recovering alcoholic .

The question on alcohol, if a Christian wasn't allowed alcohol , why did the Pharisees condemn Jesus for drinking, if it wasn't alcohol. Why did Jesus say not to drink wine in excess if there was no alcohol in it?

I was truly impressed with this article [Is it Alright for Christians to Drink Alcohol?].

Is alcohol addiction a disease?

Would you allow the people of God to have the right to drink alcohol drinks? How would you treat this issue if you were to pastor a church?

I would like to chime in on the wine discussion. I believe the unfermented wine theory unravels with the pull of a thread. That thread is found when Jesus speaks a parable of wineskins.

One of our daughters is planning to marry a young man this Dec 28. Here is the problem: He, in particular, and she, (I believe mis-guidedly believing it her role now, even, before she is married) to a lesser degree, are adamantly almost ordering us to have beer and wine at their reception.

I was wondering what all of Scripture says about praying to saints, I feel kind of iffy about it, I feel that its putting someone before God and I don't like that, but I do understand some of my friends reasoning as well.

I am a Christian. I am often faced with having to confront the people around me who are professing Christians and who are also social drinkers. I thank God for your article as now I know I can share with them specifically from the Bible why they should abstain from wine.

I believe the Bible universally condemns the use of fermented wine, but I am struggling to make sense of the use of the word for strong drink in Deuteronomy 14:26.
