***I am not advocating teetotalism, but your quoting of that verse is out of context.***
I know that. If they weren’t drunk they might see the sword of judgement coming.
There is also this one from post 53.
Isa 5:11 ¶Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, [that] they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflame them!
And this one..
Rth 3:7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of corn: and she came softly, and uncovered his feet, and laid her down.
Rth 3:8 ¶And it came to pass at midnight, that the man was afraid, and turned himself: and, behold, a woman lay at his feet.
I was told by my pastor that ‘feet’ is a commonly used euphemism for ‘genitals’ in the bible.
Also, surprised it hasn’t come up, but the poster who brought Noah into the picture, failed to mention that he got drunk because his wine was spiked by his daughters, who then proceeded to have sex with him, in order to preserve the tribe.
