1 | word for wine in the original text? | Bible general Archive 1 | romans | 68795 | ||
Dear Tim Moran, Thanks for that explicit explanation on the issue involved. It is very helpful and well founded. But one thing though, I was surprised by your opening statement "I was amazed ..." I think there are people (just like me) who is not as knowledgeable as you in the Bible. I think we (Christians) should be gracious to people like me who ask questions (no matter how silly it seems to be to your/our views but for sure not to the one asking a question) and search for truth. Moreover, we should be thankful that Christians are keen in studying and knowing the truth; Christians should have an attitude of researching things not just agree and believe easily. KNOW WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Know why you agree or disagree - not just because somebody said it. Nothing personal, this is just a side comment on the issue of extending grace and understanding to Christians who are in searching of the truth. Personally, your note in this particular issue enlightens me. Thanks so much again. Brother in Christ, Romans |

2 | word for wine in the original text? | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 68797 | ||
Greetings Romans! Welcome to the forum! I didn't mean to sound offensive. It's just that this issue has been discussed many times on this forum, and I know that I have personally posted several extensive word studies which demonstrate that the words translated as 'wine' don't always refer to an alcoholic beverage. The reason I used the word 'amazed' is that in spite of the word studies, various posts still try to make the point that 'the Bible said wine, so it must be wine' (where wine always means alcohol). Various posts also continue to poke fun at the view that some of the words translated as 'wine' can refer to grape juice. What I have tried to do is show from Scripture that some of these words can refer to the vine, the grapes, raisins, fresh juice, fermented juice, or even harder liquors. Anyway, enough beating of a dead horse! :-) Again, welcome to the forum! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Dear Tim Moran, Thanks. Yes, I'm very new to this forum, I just joined yesterday. I am interested to the "word study" you posted as you had mentioned. I noticed in the Q and A site that there had a been a lot of things discussed. For me to look for your previous post would take sometime. If it's possible and not a bother to you, could I have a copy of it; could you post it again in the forum or would you like a personal email of mine? If not possible, I will try to locate in the forum site. Thanks much again. Brother in Christ, Roman |

Greetings Roman! If you click on the 'search' option on the left hand side of the screen, and then enter 'Morant61' as the screen name to search for and enter 'yayin' as the word to search for, you will find the word studies I referred to in my previous post. I believe that you will enjoy the forum. I have not been here the longest, but I am one of the old-timers! :-) I made my first post on April 25, 2001 and have stuck around ever since. The part I enjoy as much as anything else is the friendships which have formed in my time on the forum. There are many on the forum who e-mail me, and vice versa, on a regular basis. I hope that your time here will be profitable and rewarding for both you and us! :-) p.s. - If you have any problems with the search, please let me know! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
