Bible Question: I know there is a difference between new wine and fermented wine...and I cannot believe that Jesus drank of the fermented...would He really partake in something that the Bible gave so many warnings against? I know there was a new wine...pretty much like grape juice...that most drank with their meals instead of the contaminated water...but I am looking for scriptures to further or more concretely back this? |
Bible Answer: Hello ShezGoneCntry, First, Scripture does not forbid drinking wine of any kind. It forbids drunkenness. There are no Scriptures which state that people drank new wine for meals. The only reference is to Jesus saying that new wine should not be put in old wineskins but rather in new wineskins (in order to teach against false traditions). Steve |
