A few questions about Christianity.

I'ma keep my questions simple.

I was talkin to a couple of cats and they was sayin how Alcohol is condemned in Christianity etc. But how is that when Jesus and his people use to sip wine?

They say you are unconcious in a deep sleep till judgement day when you die. Now, I been to many funerals in my day and every pastor or whoever always said shit like "this man is in a better place now", "he in a better place lookin down on us", or "he's in heaven now" etc etc. Now how can this be when that man's spirit is in a deep sleep? Why are we set to believe all our folks that passed away are looking down on us, when technically, they are not. 

Now, I dunno who has heard of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, but they go to church on Saturdays. They believe after the six days of Creation, the lord rested on the seventh day and instituted the Sabbath for all people as a memorial of creation etc etc. I kno folks that are part of that and believe it or not, they criticize all other christians based on going to church on Sundays and look down on them for celebrating christmas. They go exactly with what the bible says and in most ways, they are correct. Why couldn't other Christians go with the bible when they 1st started? Why is there all this seperation even WITHIN the same religion?

drinking Alcohol isnt wrong from a christians point of view. What is wrong is when you drink it to the point that your are drunk.

^right, dats what I've figured.... but not all Christians believe that. Some don't even believe Jesus drank. But fact is, his 1st miracle was turning water into wine for his people. U mean to tell me non of his people got drunk?

Well I think the idea of drinking differs from christian to christian. I've met many who believe drinking is wrong, but the fact is (as you've stated) Jesus turned water into wine. But the overall belief on drinking is, its not wrong, unless you drink to the point that you cant be yourself (drunk). As for the disciples and everyone else getting drunk, i do not know because it doesnt say in the Bible if they did or not.
