1 | Was the wine alcoholic or not | John 2:10 | Morant61 | 84557 | ||
Greetings Bingobongo! I appreciate the thoughtful response my new friend. You are correct about the new skins being able to stretch. But, there was also another reason for putting new wine into new skins. The new skins would not contain old fermentation, and thus would prevent the new wine from fermenting for a longer time. While the skins would not stop the process of fermentation, they would slow it. One ancient writer by the name of Columella expressly comments on this reason. So, the purpose of my original statement was that 'oinos' can refer to a fresh or new wine, which had not yet been fermented. Of course, it eventually would ferment, but the process would be slowed down considerably. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Was the wine alcoholic or not | John 2:10 | Mommapbs | 84564 | ||
Is 25:6 The LORD of hosts will prepare a lavish banquet for all peoples on this mountain; A banquet of aged wine, choice pieces with marrow, And refined, aged wine. Hi Tim - could we see believers as "new wine" in new wine skins . . .in process . . . until we have been refined and are transformed by the power of God?! We can not mix the dregs of "old fermentation" with who we are in Christ - a NEW creation. We can not become WHO we are in Christ in an "old wine skin" either! Just some thoughts, mommapba |

3 | Was the wine alcoholic or not | John 2:10 | Morant61 | 84571 | ||
Greetings Mommapbs! Interesting thoughts my friend! :-) Of course, the original context of the verse in question refers to the inadvisability of mixing old and new. Old patches should not be used on new clothing. New wine should not be placed in old wine skins. The new way of faith cannot be mixed with the old way of legalism (which was the main point of the passage). So, your observations would seem to fall into the same sort of pattern. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
