After discussing the wine issue in the Bible, Norman Geisler came to this conclusion: “Therefore Christians ought not to drink wine, beer, or other alcoholic beverages for they are actually ‘strong drink’ and are forbidden in Scripture. Even ancient pagans did not drink what some Christians drink today” (A Christian Perspective on Wine-Drinking, page 51). If the Word of God forbids the drinking of wine then the wine cannot be used in the Lord’s Supper.
