No, bone up on your ancient Middle East history. It was NOT fermented. Yes, there WAS fermented wine, but remember that you're reading translations of translations. In sum, the wine that Jesus drank was NOT fermented (and hey.......I'm no tee-totaller........I LOVE a good bourbon :) ).

So would a billboard of Jesus hawking non-alcoholic beer be ok?

" It was NOT fermented. "

Why are we told to serve the good stuff first, and leave the plonk til later when our guests won't notice it?

I'm also wondering how they would have kept it from fermenting. I don't think they would have had much choice in the climate they were in.

"yes, there WAS fermented wine, but remember that you're reading translations of translations. In sum, the wine that Jesus drank was NOT fermented "

So everybody else drank wine and Jesus, the *human* incarnation of God, didn't? Was His liver constantly performing the miracle of Cannan in reverse? (Mine does this too, but very, very slowly, taking hours to convert wine to water. But I'm not perfect.)

I don't have a problem believing Jesus could be without sin and still have an alcoholic beverage now and then. Why do so many people seem to think this?

I didn't say anything was wrong with being a Southern Baptist...In fact, my best friend is a Southern Baptist. We actually discussed this not to long ago.

Did people get drunk at these weddings on this unfermented wine?
