Do you really think Jesus turned the water into wine? The truth?

Question

No he did not, plain and simple. Yes its says it was turned into wine but think about this. Would Jesus really give kids, at the feast an opportunity to get drunk? The kids were sinful and the devil would have tempted them if it was wine as we know it today. That's just common sense, now scriptually the bible talks bad about strong drink over 200 times. Jesus said himself, cant remember the verse, that he did not come to destroy the law but fulfill it. So why would he obey everything else but that? It's just another way of making the catholics think it's okay to drink so that the priests, pope, jesuit priest's etc. can drink. Also think about this, alcohol has the potential to get you drunk correct? The ingredients, you could say, are sinful. So why would you use wine to symbolize Jesus' blood, you are saying that his blood has sin in it are you not? Your priest can't change it into blood. Does it taste like blood? is it red? or is it red wine? Ha makes ya think doesnt it

A good friend of mine believes this and he is catholic that is where i got it from.

yes I ask a question and than answer it cause they don't have "yahoo tell it" I am trying to give the truth. But wow for those that take this question seriously you are not understanding at all. Read it Jesus is sinless any type of alcohol is sinful, get it!!! ITs common sense that Jesus would not condone such a sinful thing duh.

Curtis B catholics do believe it turns into the blood of Jesus Christ, which is cannibalism

Okay I am sorry I worded this wrong my wife corrected me. Yes it was wine but the wine was not the same wine as it is today, Kosher wine is something I found which is grape juice. That is what the jews used. So forgive me I didnt mean to say it wasnt wine i meant to say its not alcoholic wine. Make sense?

Answer 1

I've seen several appologies for this. 1.) it was non-alcoholic, which is stupid...2.) kids outside of the US drink wine and other alcoholic beverages much more often than we. its not that big of a deal. 3.) the water was bad...and it probably was.

But to answer your question, No, he didn't. Its not possible. Unless they mean, did he totally come thru in the clutch and get his distributor to high-tail it into town with a camel-load of fresh wine?? ...then, maybe, yeah, thats possible. Or do they mean he had his own winery? Maybe. Its funny that xtians take some parts so literally (like the so-called "miracles"), but call the rest "metaphor" or "allegory" or "just of that time" when it comes to the absurdities or attrocities. Pathetic.

Answer 2

You are misinterpreting many things. What the Bible condemns is getting drunk. If YOU can't control yourself when you start drinking, then yes, you shouldn't even take a sip. But for those of us who are capable of moderation, drinking in-of-itself is not a sin. Wine can actually be a positive and help the digestive system. And I don't know about you, but I don't take my kids around to where there's a bunch of people getting drunk, or offer my children the opportunity to do so themselves. That's just me being able to control my children, I guess.
Besides, what do you think made him so popular?
It's not "disobedient" to drink, but to get drunk, yes. And that's why there was someone in charge of the festivities - when someone had their fill, it was the person in charge's job to go around and make sure that everyone made it home, or stopped drinking, and to keep everything going smoothly.
I would not say that the ingredients are sinful. I would say that they are commonplace ingredients - I feel that it being a symbol of his blood more indicates that Jesus understands what it was like to be a human. Being that about 12 men shared one glass of wine - I don't think Jesus' intent was that they all get drunk to remember him.
Of course a priest can't change water into wine - they aren't perfect or able to perform miracles. If you've had a glass of wine, you know it doesn't taste like blood. Looks? maybe a little.

Answer 3

Absolutely, to believe this is false is to disbelieve the entire Bible. Unfortunately you cannot pick and choose what to believe and what to disbelieve without corrupting the Word of God. Jesus many times drank wine, and Paul recommend Timothy drink some wine for an ailing stomach. Yet the Bible does speak out about being drunk on wine and strong drink. However, it does not say do not drink wine. There is no incongruity between Jesus' first miracle and the remainder of the Bible. I also think you have misinterpreted Jesus statement about fulfilling the law. Read all the surrounding verses in context and it should clear it up a bit.

Answer 4

The Bible records (depending upon how you count them) 35 or 38 miracles performed by Jesus. Changing water into wine at the wedding feast at Cana is the first one.

Yes, Jesus would have done it. If He can change water into wine, could He not also change the minds of those children who might have been tempted to partake of the wine in order to get drunk.

But even more important, wine was the primary drink of choice at feasts and meals, given the fact that fresh, pure water was a rarity.

Answer 5

Why do you think alcohol is sinful? The bible doesn't teach that. It does say, do not be drunk. Wine was served alot in those days..where are the 200 scriptures you are talking about?

1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities.

Remember...Jesus said, it is what comes out of a man that defiles him..not what goes into him..
16-20Jesus replied, "You, too? Are you being willfully stupid? Don't you know that anything that is swallowed works its way through the intestines and is finally defecated? But what comes out of the mouth gets its start in the heart. It's from the heart that we vomit up evil arguments, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, lies, and cussing. That's what pollutes. Eating or not eating certain foods, washing or not washing your hands—that's neither here nor there."

Answer 6

Yes, in my mind he did. Your argument doesn't hold about giving kids wine. You are using today's standards for probably America. Kids in France and Italy drink wine. The kids in our family were exposed to beer at an early age, from the German background. And the wine was probably a lesser alcohol content. Recipes for beer and wine going back thousands of years would attest to that.

He wasn't fulfilling DIETARY laws, he was fulfilling the prophesy of a Messiah from the prophets.

How old are you anyway? A child, your thinking is that of a child.

Answer 7

there is not any biblical verse that asserts that the wine replaced into alcoholic, inspite of the undeniable fact that it rather is traditionally spectacular that it replaced into. additionally, there is not any Christian regulation that asserts ingesting is a sin. There are biblical verses that say drunkenness and debauchery are sins, yet not playing a pitcher of wine with dinner or a pitcher of champagne on new years or consistent with possibility a lager at a back backyard fish fry. On yet another notice, i'll on no account understand why it is this sort of massive situation between Christians. can we please see the great photograph!?! definitely, you ought to ask why Jesus did this, no if there replaced into alcohol in contact or not. that doesn't count. He did the miracle for the host of the occasion. It replaced right into a marriage reception and back then it replaced into culturally unacceptable to expire of lodging of any sort to your travelers. It replaced into so unacceptable that the marriage travelers could have legally robbed him of costly possessions and raided his domicile in the event that they had to. it is the reason Jesus grew to become the water to wine.

Answer 8

Where did it say in the Bible that drinking wine is a sin? Lets say that there were little children at the wedding, do you thing they would give the children wine? I cannot understand your logic, you sound like you were drinking, but something stronger than wine.

Answer 9

I interpret it symbolcially. In order to grow grapes you need some amount of water. During this time it was a harsh environment. It would have take a lot of work to get grapes from the earth. but it could have been (and was) done through blood sweat and tears. this also lines up with thte simple shepard analogy. He wasnt literally a shepard, except to the people who followed him in his mission. To be a shepard was not glamorous, and neither was it to make wine, or to be a carpenter. There are alot of ways it could be interpreted, with the view of wine during that time period.

Answer 10

He didn't turn water into wine. This is a fundamentalist Christian belief. Same with the idea that the host and wine consumed at Holy Communion are literally God's body and blood.

We all know that's not true, and if you truly believe so, you are either a cannibal, or just batshit insane.
