Subject: wine and acohol |
Bible Note: Greetings brother, I found your comments very interesting because this question of whether Jesus drank wine in the alcoholic state is one which I have researched for an explanation also. As you know alcohol has a good purpose as is everything that our Almighty God has created. Of course man comes along and abuses what he has been given. One can continue on this line for most thing on the globe. In the case of Jesus making wine at the wedding feast, I cannot envisage our Lord creating something that would harm those drinking it. However, whether it was grape juice or not only He can give us an answer. I will continue to research nevertheless. Blessings, Ken John |
