The first miracle attributed to Jesus in the gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John) is this: Jesus and his mom were at a wedding party, and they ran out of wine. So Jesus´ mom told him to take care of it. He said that his time hadn´t come for that sort of stuff, and so did the miracle back in the kitchen, drawing some water out of a well to save and turning the rest of the well into wine so everyone would have plenty to drink.
One of the guys at the party later said to the host, hey - most people serve the good wine first and bring out the cheap stuff later, but you have instead saved the best for last.
Looking at this, wine was an integral part of the cultural/social celebration that was going on. So, if coffee turns out to have similar importance, then there is no reason to think that Starbucks would be off limits.
On the other hand, later in the Bible, we read that Jesus comes back as far as the clouds, to pick up his followers, and then comes back with them later for a war against the forces of evil.
Perhaps Starbucks could provide field rations and in that way, come to God instead of the other way around.

Where do you get your information? Actually, the ONE time Christ turned the water into wine, it was called new wine (in Hebrew interpretation) sweet, new wine, which indicated it was most likely not even fermented. The crowd loved it, but by the end of the day when he changed the water into wine, those folks had ingested enough wine they wouldn't have cared if it had no alcohol. Even if it was fermented, the story never mentions Jesus drinking the wine.

Dude, he'll need something stronger than a latte with all the **** going on in his name.
And BTW, all you teetotalling fundamentalists: Psalm 104:15 says God "bring[s] forth... wine which makes man's heart glad." When was the last time frikkin grape juice made your heart glad? Getting buzzed is all in God's plan, my friend. (And BTW, the same Psalm says, in the Septuagint, that God makes "green herb for the service of man," and I like the traditional Rasta exegesis of that verse.)

God has never drunk wine, & I can pove it, God is a spirit & can a spirit drank, NO, Jesus was in the flesh & he drunk a lilte wine for thy stomach sake, because witth all the traveling they did, They was some food that was not prepared to eat, therefore A litle wine would settle their stomach.

No, He won't be stopping off at starbucks. When He comes again, He will be coming to take all those who believe in Him home. Those who choose to laugh at Him and not believe in Him will be cast into the lake of fire along with satan.

Probably not since caffeine is a stimulant and I doubt He needs or wants it.. but who can say for sure? :) Nobody should claim to understand the mind of God.
