Subject: Did Jesus ever drink wine? |
Bible Note: Vintage68: The wine that Jesus drank was totally different than what the wine made today is. The wine at the time Jesus lived was diluted from a concentrate about 4 parts of water to one part of wine. You would have to consume a lot to feel much of the effects. You would be water logued if you drank that much diluted wine. Jesus would never comsume anything that the religious leaders could point to as sinful, and they be correct. I have heard so many weak willed drunks use this verse that Jesus drank wine and thus it was ok for them. That's pure hogwash. There is no reason to drink the wine made today when there is such great grape juice. This is especially so if our drinking wine should offend anyone. justme |
