The Christian has liberty in Christ Jesus. With that liberty we should not do anything that would cause a brother or sister to stumble or to lose faith. Sometimes a believer will choose to drink wine, but to another it is sin and an occasion to get drunk. It is better to refrain from wine if you will cause another to lose faith or to stumble, or stagger. Whatever we do, we must do by faith, if we go against what we believe, then it is sin to us.
Rom 14:21 It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.
Rom 14:22 The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.
Rom 14:23 But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.
No faith is sin too. Unbelief in God is sin. Not believing that Jesus has taken your sins to the cross, leaves you with sin and condemnation. Choose the right way through Jesus Christ and edify your brothers and sisters. This is the way to go.
