2 | Did Jesus ever drink wine? | Matt 11:19 | MJH | 215899 | ||
I check out the two links. They both hold very different views. The second is a perfect example of my earlier post on this thread. Apparently anyone who doesn't agree with their view of wine is "apostate." In either case, the first did not mention the mixing of wine with water and the second mentions the four parts to one mixture without any reference. It's not that I don't think this has a high probability to be true. But the quote is a specific 4-1 mixture rather than the more generic "they mixed water in with their wine" This leads me to believe that they MUST have a source. Something dating from near the first century such as Philo or Josephus or the Mishna or a Greek writer from the era speaking about the Jews. I've read many of so-called historical "facts" from the first century that turned out to be not true, but since they've been passed on so much and so many pastors reference them in sermons, they become assumed.

Greetings MJH! Here is a link to a Norman Geisler article which refers to several different sources for various mixtures of water and wine. It even mentions that passover wine was mixed 3 parts water to 1 part wine. http://www.cfirecm.com/QandA/Wine.htm Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim, the water in the time of Our Lord was tainted, and for safety sake was mixed with wine. However, undiluted wine(taken in moderation) was a blessing to the health of the people. In fact, it had the the the the the capacity to make the heart merry. However, the sin of drukeness is worthy of etenal damnation and all who disregard God's admonition will suffer for their rebellion. Hopalong |

Greetings Hopalong! Do you have an historical source that states that undiluted wine was commonly used and an accepted practice? At least according to the sources in Geisler's article, it was a practice that was very much looked down upon. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Greetings Hopalong! Thanks for the link! The author, though differing on the quality of watered down wines, does agree though that it was a normal practice to dilute the wine before drinking it. He simply disagrees with some of the ratio's cited, thinking that 2 or 3 to 1 was probably the norm. So, this article would support, not contradict, that wine was normally diluted with water.
