Subject: Was the wine alcoholic or not |
Bible Note: My apologies. When I first read the question, “Was the wine alcoholic or not?” I answered that generic question, I did not realize that this was attached to John 2:10. I have heard many people say that the wine in biblical times was not alcoholic, which is not true. There are occasions in the New Testament where non-alcoholic wine was used. I am certain that the stories of Noah and Lott where told to encourage people not to over indulge. Otherwise what use do those specific parts of the stories have? Some of your responses have been educational, and I appreciate that. Most of the time I get the “Christian Robot” that only knows what their clergy told them. They have never taken the time to read the bible themselves. When I give a response, I try to give chapter and verses of where I got my information. I will read and appreciate all responses that have references. |
