Is drinking a sin?
A Nigerian man, said to be jobless for the past four years, reportedly rejects a job from British American Tobacco. This is because according to him, drinking/smoking is a sin.
In reaction to this, Daddy Freeze took to the scriptures to prove why is isn’t a sin to drink alcohol. He stated however that smoking is discouraged on moral grounds as it isn’t mentioned anywhere in the Bible to smoke or not smoke.
Daddy Freeze’s argument below;
“Drinking alcohol is NOT a sin! Jesus drank alcohol and produced ‘wine’ which is alcoholic…. let’s remember that Jesus was accused of being a drunkard… you can’t be accused of being a drunkard if you drink grape juice.
The disciples were also accused of acting drunk on ‘new wine’ in Acts2 if a wine wasn’t alcoholic, why were the disciples accused of being drunk on it?
Cigarettes on the other hand, although not expressly mentioned in the Bible, can be a source of ‘moral’ concern, especially because of the high number of deaths attributed to them each year.
It is however not the job of your pastor to decide your choice of employment, let the Holy Spirit lead you! ~FRZ

So many people will certainly jump at a job that pays that much.
