Subject: proverbs 20: wine produces mockers |
Bible Note: I believe Jesus is telling us not to drink wine. I understand that the myrrh may have been an agent to dull the pain and suffering Christ underwent which would have had a detrimental effect to his crucifixion but a drug is a drug. The wine the Roman soldiers were drinking, I believe was alcoholic because they were gambling for his clothing also. My experience with gambling and alcohol is that the two go hand in hand. I believe Jesus did NOT drink alcoholic wine or, the Devil's Nectar which its so commonly referred as here in Milwaukee.
