The wedding in Cana?
The new wine was GRAPE juice, The BIBLE says NOT to destroy the wine that is in the CLUSTER,
And turning does destroy IT, GOD say IT that settle it. how can we go any further,
JUSUS would tell us this then do it his self, that is what is called a hypocrite

New wine does not equal grape juice, sorry pal

Wine is wine, juice is juice.

Who would think people can get drunk off of new wine?:

Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

Who would ever mock anyone by saying "hahaa, these guys are drunk off of grape juice!"

Well word does not mean the same thing as thy did, and if you study on it a little, You mite see it A little different, But GOD IS Right ,And HIS WORD, And the BIBLE does not AGREE with what you are saying, GOD bless as GOD sees GOOD FOR YOU.

Where’s the grape juice in the following passage concerning the Nazarene abstaining from everything coming from the vine tree?

Numbers 6
3 He shall separate himself from wine and strong drink, and shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat moist grapes, or dried.
4 All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.

The BIBLE says It is in the cluster.
Isaiah 65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and [one] saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing [is] in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

Study a little on LUST From what I understand in the BIBLE, IF we obey the lust we have, It is called SIN

That was not grape juice or diluted wine. I have heard this before and scholars have debunked it. Wine was very essential in Temple worship and even at the Lords supper.

scholars and scientists hardly ever agree with the BIBLE. But the BIBLE is always right

Sorry you think the lord drinks. when he would not even drink the vinegar and gall for the pain that he was in, it was because the the vinegar comes from strong drink

It's called "Liquour and 'SPIRITS" for a reason...they aren't Holy SPirit led powers that create mayhem. If Jesus imbibed alcoholic wine, He would have allowed evil spirits in his persona. He would not have been able to carry out the FAther's mission.

The context of the passage dictates that wine was created and not grape juice. You provided a verse earlier that stated that wine is a mocker, are you saying that grape juice is a mocker? Makes absolutely no sense. You can eat, drink, and be merry as I believe Solomon once stated but that's not happening with grape juice. Even Paul said that those who were troubled should drink a little wine. Do you believe that the correct rendering is for those that are troubled or have stomach ailments as stated by Paul should drink grape juice? I'd rather have a glass of OJ than Welch's any day.

GOD bless as GOD sees GOOD for you

Yes, Jesus drank wine. I’m quite sure He never got drunk. What you’re saying is historically and factually incorrect. There no evidence to suggest otherwise.

There's a difference between 'I refuse to drink alcohol' and 'I will not take any substance that will numb the effects of the punishment that I'm taking on behalf of all mankind'
I don't think your comparison is a valid one.

Probably the alcohol content. Typical alcohol content in spirits (whisky, vodka, gin, etc) is over 4 times that of wine, and wine typically has twice the alcohol content of beer.

I have seen much personal destruction of individuals and families that are alcohol related. For the record, I have abstained from alcohol since 1992. While I enjoyed drinking it I chose not to do it anymore.

The grape juice is in verse 4. NOTHING that is made of the vine tree. Clear
