Bible Question: That's quite interesting: wine in "new wine" actually refers to grape juice. Is that because Israelites of Jesus time didn't have the word juice? Did they call everything made of grapes (fermented or not) wine? If so, wine was either alcohol or juice, right? |
Bible Answer: New wine could reflect drink with low alcohol. That correlates with..."no drunkedness"..."hard drink"...which is forbidden. New wine vs old wine is referred to several times in a seemingly guidance manner in the NT. Hebrew I don't recall...but, Greek is... oinos...for wine. |
