Bible Note: I think there is another consideration here in this question. Today's science tells us alcohol is particularly harmful to developing embryo’s and therefore to be avoided by pregnant mothers. A Jewish weddings of this time would include many young couples of the approximate age of the wedding couple, much the same as today. Young couples, in the prime of their child bearing years. I think it safe to make an assumption that there was probably one, two or more pregnant women in attendance. Knowing what we know about alcohol and the dangers to pregnancies, and Jesus, being all knowing, would be aware of this fact. Is it conceivable to imagine Jesus would make something that was destructive to one of the developing embryos that may have been in attendance? I know this is very circumstantial, but I think the likely hood of the situation begs the question. For your consideration. |
