Subject: Is this no more than a note Paul |
Bible Note: This is an interesting verse and brings some interesting conversations with it. But this is a note from Paul to Timothy. water was not purified at this time in history and wine or the alchol in it is used to kill bacteria and germs. I think it is possible that Paul has simply heard that Timothy is is having digestive prolems and given the nature of their relationship knows that he might need a little wine in his water to make the digestive issues go away. It might be a stretch to turn this into a biblical reason to drink. |
