Subject: What is 'the fruit of the vine'? |
Bible Note: Greetings Tim! I checked out your friend's web sites, and I have two major compliants! 1) He only deals with two of the many words translated as 'wine' in the Bible. 2) He asserts that these words always refer to fermented wine, which is simply not true. If you refer back to the word studies I posted earlier on this topic, there are many words which are translated as 'wine'. Some alway mean a fermented drink. Some never mean a fermentated drink. The two words your friend highlights are two very generic terms which can either fermented or not. Your friend gets around this fact by catagorizing every occurances where they do not refer to fermented drinks as "figures of speech"! This is simply not honest word study. One must take into account all the uses of a word in determing it's meaning, not just the uses that support one's theory. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
