According to Rev. Edwin Dadson, a Gospel singer and pastor, the water that Jesus Christ transformed into wine at a wedding contained alcohol.
People have been debating whether Christians should drink wine for decades.
John 2:1–11, according to the book. Jesus, his mother, and his followers went to a wedding in the Cana hamlet. Jesus shows his disciples his divinity by turning water into wine when the wine at the feast runs out.
Rev Edwin Dadson confirmed, “Yes, It’s a wine that had alcohol.” And replying to the question of if Jesus was encouraging drinking, he said, “No.”
“My point of musicianship comes from the ministry. I feel I’m doing this (singing) unto God, so it doesn’t conflict at all. Originally, that is what it was in the Bible; You are making music unto the Lord. And that is what we’ve been made for, so it doesn’t conflict.
This doesn’t mean that there are no challenges and difficulties. But in terms of the goal, it is one thing. So it’s one driving the other for me.”
“I think the goal of gospel music goes beyond just inspiring an individual to feel good and see life in a better way. The goal of gospel music is the fact that it brings salvation to the soul, which every man on earth needs,” he continued.
“So you could do something that is inspiring people, which is good, but it cannot be compared to the ultimate. The ultimate is salvation.”
