If drinking wine was merely drinking grape juice how was it an insult?

So does that mean your not going answer my question?

Well I'm not going to examine ALL the words for wine in Hebrew and Greek but from a quick examination of them the Biblical words SEEM to be talking about wine as something that CAN make you drunk.

So again your question was will a man go to Hell if he drinks beer and now assumedly wine.

My answer is he has done nothing wrong unless he gets drunk.

What is your answer?

Food is also on the same level, but food cannot intoxicate someone.

The crushing grapes and its fermentation causes it to turn to alcohol beverage. Wine, and vinegar. Hence the reason the Middle Easterners have fermented foods and dairy. No refrigeration, therefore fermentation process is quick.

...

I could absolutely be wrong, but wasn't the actual issue with gluttony the fact that the glutton was being wasteful and keeping it from those who actually needed it? In other words, we aren't talking about overeating at Thanksgiving dinner, but rather a lifestyle of overindulgence?

As always, thank you for your time, Bro. Benincasa.

Gluttony is a Latin word which means to scarf down food and drink. Thanksgiving stuffing one’s self would be considered gluttonous. Or you are being a glutton. As Christians we are to be moderate in all things and food and drink is a prime example. Don’t be given to appetite Proverb 23:2 tells us to lose self control with food and drink is the same as slitting your own throat. So, next family get together show some restraint.

Brother, I thought you had me for a minute. I was feeling all convicted.

But I looked up the passage. And you have taken it COMPLETELY out of context.

It doesn’t say one thing about Thanksgiving dinner.



Whew. I’m feeling SO much better!

At least someone knows a little about the true meaning of wine when spoken of in the bible.

Who doesn't? Kind of hard to keep things from fermenting in the Middle East. There was no refrigeration, look at Korean kimchi, it is placed in a clay pot and buried in the ground. It smells like it has been buried in the ground, but it tastes pretty good. Also yogurt, kefirs they couldn't refrigerate their milks so logically it all became cheeses, kefirs, yogurts, butter milk, butter, and therefore their squeezed juice turned into fermented alcoholic wines, vinegars, and kombuchas (made from fungus).

Have you examined any?? Doubt it... there is only a handful of words used. How about Jesus first miracle? Did he allow them to drink in excess and get drunk? The had already had plenty to drink. It wasn’t that they went to the wedding unprepared and ran out because to many guest showed up.
