That's good to read.
1 Timothy 5:23 kjv
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.
Yes, you may.
“ What did they do - go back in time?”
Uh, they put up 70 something pillars, repaired the structure, and put on a new cascade in the 1930s.
There are ample photographs of what they did.
No time travel needed.
So what?
Really?
I do NOT find that in the text...
You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality.
That’s a wee bit different than REBUILT.
Just showing that the JEWS have the SAME belief.
Peter had the same belief?
Aside from being irrelevant, your point is both partially inaccurate (plenty of Jews believed) and a false comparison. The Jews you referenced correctly stated the Law, while having the underlying facts incorrect.
Whereas, Islam is just made up BS.
What do you call gutting a structure and rebuilding it?
If you want to say “massively renovated” that works, too. The Dome was falling apart and Nazi engineers and Italian fascist designers took the dilapidated structure and put it in its present form.
The point is evil people built the monstrosity originally and yet more evil people fixed it up.

Ok, quote the text, book, chapter and verse and we can discuss. Instead of quoting the entire Bible....let’s take one text at a time.

Except clearly you haven’t done a study of the greek word for “wine” which is Vinos which is same word used for both the fermented and unfermented juice of the vine.
God does not contradict himself. And no story involving any wine in the Bible has a good ending. Not Noah, not Herod’s party where they drank, nowhere.
Alchohol reduces our inhibitions. We will do things under the influence of alchohol we wouldn’t do otherwise. Isn’t temptation strong enough without getting a buzz? Goodness...do a word search for “sober” in scripture, the new testament.....tell me what it says....
Typo, I meant the greek word for wine is “oinos” and it applies to both the fermented and unfermented juice of the vine. I guess I had the word vine in my head. Anyways, the same goes for the “wine” Jesus made at the wedding at Cana. It wasn’t fermented, God doesn’t contradict himself.
Whatever is good or you in wine is found in grape juice. As I recall the word Yayin is also something to study. Related ...
You were not the one addressed and so I had to take some of my precious time to go wandering around the thread to reacquaint myself with what was going on. It’s easy going back until you access the screen name then you loose the ability to quickly go back to where you want to be. I’ll try not to let it influence my future replies.
How do you feel now LOL!!!!
All this and I still haven’t had an opportunity to read your next five replies.
Kind of reminds me how you can so easily take over a thread with sometimes humor but sometimes comments that are maybe over my head.
What does Judaism say about GOD’s Son?
I would have given the verse but it likely would have been rejected as near as I can tell.....
Agency is a Gospel principle.
Unfortunately Agency without knowledge leads to judgement which has consequences we cannot ignore. Choices matter.
So maybe I wouldn’t be saying what you think I might.
O...
K...

So true:
Plant the seed - whether it grows or withers is not in our hands.
Luke 8:11 kjv
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
