Subject: Was the wine Jesus drank fermented? |
Bible Note: Hi IHS, Yes, in ancient Israel dishonest merchants would add water to the wine to make it go farther, but Jehovah used this to illustrate moral and spiritual corruption saying: "Thy silver is become dross, thy wine mixed with water." (Isa. 1:22) Tasty wine that gives joy of heart should not be adulterated with water. If you know of other instances please quote them. So again certainly wine was not merely grape juice but fermented to wine. Truthfinder |
