1 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | EdB | 111961 | ||
I talked to my wine expert and I stand corrected NAPA valley does produce grapes with unusually high sugar content of 20 plus brix which under ‘perfect’ conditions can produce 10 plus percent alcohol. However this is not the norm and to do this the wineries still have to add to the juice substances that just weren't available in Bible times. I think even you will agree that 1-3 percent without the addition of sugar is the norm world wide and that at least 10 percent is needed to prevent spoilage. Also as you said wine made this way is bad smelling and even worst tasting. Also people can not live drinking wine in place of water. Alcohol is a natural dehydrator that actually pulls water out of the body. A person would literally die of thirst if they had nothing but wine to drink. Therefore they had to drink water, the quality of which is no better or worst than what is drank today in many places in the area. As for drinking alcohol during pregnancy I don't think you have the credentials to override the advice of medical community, which is NO alcohol during pregnancy. EdB |

Who said that people had to drink wine in place of water? That would most definitely be impossible. I just find it impossible to believe that Jesus made wine with no or little alcohol. I never said that I possess any credentials to override the medical community. I stated that those were my opinions. You certainly read a lot into my statement that I never said. | ||||||
3 | wine and acohol | 1 Tim 5:23 | EdB | 111998 | ||
I'm sorry. Let me then just say your opinions stand in direct opposition to the sound advice offered by the medical community. I’m also sorry I put words in your mouth about the water, but popular myth has the people of Biblical times drinking wine instead of water for hygienic reasons which is complete nonsense. Lastly while you may find it impossible to believe Jesus provide non alcoholic wine at the wedding. I find equally impossible to believe he provided over 60 gallons of booze then said drunks are in danger of hell’s fire. I humbly apologize for reading anything into your comments. EdB |
