Or may it be that hardcore Baptist better understand the biblical definitions for wine. From a logical standpoint one might ask, if Jesus were God as He claimed to be, how could he have turned water into rotten juice. After all, that's what fermentation is. Can God create anything imperfect? Why would God create rotten juice from water? Wonder if the loaves he multipled were molded and the fish he multiplied spoiled? Hmm, why again would he create decayed juice. Perhaps in biblical days, one definition of wine may have been "fruit of the vine", (pure, not decayed).
Wine is fermented juice, just as bread is fermented wheat flour.
Do you also condemn bread?
"Why would God create rotten juice from water?"
I guess you mean "femented." Same reason he created bread,
When I read Leviticus 10:8-11 it becomes very clear to me:
8And the LORD spake unto Aaron, saying,
9Do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou, nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations:
10And that ye may put difference between holy and unholy, and between unclean and clean;
11And that ye may teach the children of Israel all the statutes which the LORD hath spoken unto them by the hand of Moses.
Now I know that the Bible in these verses is speaking to the old testament priests, but if we know anything about the new testament we should know that we are the priests and we know where our tabernacle is...or our temple. I don't drink anymore because of what my Righteous and Holy God warned me about in Leviticus. I fear him and I want to be obediant and be able to witness with a clear mind at all times.
