Controversial Catholic priest, Rev Fr Chinenye Oluoma has stated alcohol is medicinal and it’s not wrong for someone to consume it.
During a weekly mass in church, the clergyman stated that God created alcohol for consumption.
He backup his claim by quoting a Bible verse .
According to him, St. Paul told Timothy to drink wine because it will be helpful is tackling his ulcer.
However, the clergyman pointed out that everything God created should be taken moderately to gain the benefits.
Fr Oluoma added that alcohol is not an exception.
He said;
“Whether you like it or not Alcohol is medicinal, it’s God that created alcohol. St. Paul said to Timothy “Take it because it is medicinal”.
Why didn’t St. Paul tell Timothy ”Go and pray against your ulcer. Have faith in God he has promised us divine healing.”
“He said ‘take alcohol, take wine’. Everything God created, you know just like wine, if you take it as you should moderately, it will benefit you.
So those of you who like to take wine please drink it, but in moderate amount.”
