In order to kill the bacteria? They needed to keep it for an extended period of time,
and um, I don't know if you know how fermentation works, but the alcohol content of home-made fermented beverages is EXTREMELY high.
Hey babes, if it weren't fermented, they wouldn't call it wine, they would call it GRAPE JUICE>

And again, I'm assuming all of you also don't know what happens to wine when it's stored for too long and not in the exact right conditions:
It turns to VINEGAR.

Father K: If you are Catholic, obviously, this question doesn't apply.
The beef is with "dry" fundamentalist Christians.

Lekatt: where did you get that from? If it's not in the bible, it's apparently not true.

Outraged: Sorry about the bad attitude, but yours is a contradiction in terms:
you teach to abstain completely from alchohol though Jesus drank the real stuff himself? Weird.

I thought grape juice wasn't even available until the 1800's. Personally, I don't care what the alcohol content is for wine used in communion, or whether it's grape juice. This is the blood of Christ we're talking about, we make too big of a deal of this issue.

It is not Christians that did this.
It was their pastors.
It has to do with their belief that drinking is a sin,
No where in the Bible does it say that it was not fermented.
Wine is wine, grape juice is grape juice.
It is a religious teaching about watered down wine or unfermented or lower alcohol content.
I think the southern baptists were a group that taught this.

i won't be able to have faith some human beings declare Jesus purely drank unfermented grape juice! that's recorded for sure that Jesus became criticized for being a wine drinker! He on no account denied that accusation! extra, His first miracle became to create wine for a marriage- which led to the grasp of the rite to question why the wonderful wine were stored until final- whilst the folk have been already nicely below the effect of alcohol and could not tell the version!? classic coverage and approach became to grant good wine first -and the cheap wine afterwards- so the folk (being particularly oiled up by potential of the coolest wine) might not likely be conscious the extra fee-effective wine come out later. ultimately, be conscious that throughout Bible situations the wine became *nowhere close to as solid* as that's fermented to be right now. consequently, one had to "linger long on the wine" to get below the effect of alcohol with it-- something Jesus on no account did. ingesting isn't a undertaking until one starts getting below the effect of alcohol on the stuff. that's what God is worried approximately because of the fact the tendency is to start up performing in techniques we oftentimes does not.

cloe e
Your condescending abusive tone really pisses me off. Most of us do believe Jesus turned the water in to high quality wine. I know some of my Baptist brethren want to say He turned it into grape juice, but the rest of us know better. We are not stupid !
I'm a Fundamentalist Christian from a Denomination that teaches Abstinence, but we still acknowledge that Jesus turned water in to real wine. Now draw back your claws, and quit hissing !
The Bible Condemns Drunkenness, NOT Drinking. But for some Abstinence is better. As a former drunk, I should know.

Wine can get up to about 18 percent, before the alcohol will kill the yeast. If wine is properly sealed and stored, it will never turn to vinegar, the alcohol will preserve it, and it gets better with age. It is only if foriegn bacteria, or those damn fruit flies get into it, that it will turn into vinegar. Beware of the yeast of the Pharisee's.

I'm a Christian and I think that wine is wine. Some Christians think that the wine was only grape juice. I believe it was wine (and not with lower alcohol content).

I don't know but would like to. And how does the bible explain to us which characters in the bible were drinking the non fermented wine and which ones were the sinners that were drinking the real fermented wine that they got drunk on, according to the scriptures?

Not to mention that the Romans were the first to bring actual sewage to the jewish people.. Wine was consumed to help kill off bacteria in the body.. that's even mentioned by Paul in the bible in a letter to Timothy.

It was common to mix wine with water because the water contained a lot of bacteria. This would produce a weak wine.

I am a Christian and I have no clue what you are talking about. Wine is wine.
