Jesus didn't know what he was talking about and we know better He was drunk with wine and changed a monkey into a man,
Obviously you have proven that there is a missing link (a little smarter than Neanderthal) with your three posts of last night.
Jesus didn't know what he was talking about and we know better He was drunk with wine and changed a monkey into a man,
Yes, that's just a great idea. Let's promote kids into making alcohol so they can get drunk.
I can see the headline news now.
"Teacher gets students drunk in fermentation class"
Mark 9:42 NLT
But if you cause one of these little ones who trusts in me to fall into sin, it would be better for you to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone hung around your neck.
KJV
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.
Numbers 6:4
All the days of his separation he shall not eat anything that is produced by the grape vine, from the seeds even to the skin.
NASB
Numbers 6:3
he shall abstain from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar, whether made from wine or strong drink, nor shall he drink any grape juice nor eat fresh or dried grapes.
Numbers 6:4
All the days of his separation he shall not eat anything that is produced by the grape vine, from the seeds even to the skin.
Concentrated fruit juices. Strong in the essence of the fruit.
Anyways, here are just a couple sources on the word "Skekar":
No Drinking
Deut. 14:26*Shekhar*- meaning sweet drink or strong drink in the Bible?
The verse simply refers to wine and fruit-cider (yayin and shekhar) at a feast.
Jerome (in the Latin Vulgate c. 400 A.D.) made a distinction in the range of meanings. He said: ‘Now every intoxicating drink is in Hebrew called shechar.’ However, he did NOT think everything called shechar was intoxicating - e.g. Deut. 14:26.
Total cheap shot.
What Last said, "Every accredited school should be teaching fermentation."
I totally agree.
If it was taught, perhaps some wouldn't made absurd statements like you do.
Consider the source.
Both of them - Jerome and the NoDrinking.com website you got this from.
The owners of this very website where you are posting would likely consider Jerome, Saint of the Catholic Church, to be a heretic.
What with Jerome's dogma on the perpetual virginity of Mary and other such nonsense.
What with the sticky thread always at the top of these forums entitled "Catholic Heresy (for the record)" and what it says in the very first post.
Jerome was NOT a Hebrew scholar. His "translation" of the OT is rife with error and lack of knowledge of Hebrew.
But that doesn't stop you from saying over and over and again and again that the Latin Vulgate was the PERFECT translation until the KJV became the PERFECT translation.
I don't think Moses ever bought concentrated fruit juice at the grocery store 3500 years.
This is what you get when you use a site like NoDrinking.com as your source. What should we expect?
Again, I have seen no person whose name I recognize say that Deuteronomy 14:26 refers to nonalcoholic beverages except Ellen G. White.
Do you know of anyone else who has said this whose name I would recognize?
I'm interested in objective evidence and persons where you can verify his/her credibility. Any nut job with a personal agenda can put up a website. Again, you can find articles and books that say the Holocaust never happened.
Uh, High School is an accredited school. A lot of them are not old enough to drink yet.
If you want to try and refute the sources that he quoted, then please free to do so. But I doubt you can do that, though.
See, but that is the problem. You stop reading at Deuteronomy 14:26. You close the Bible and you are done and you have won. But you haven't won. See, you have to keep reading. Read Deuteronomy 29 and Deuteronomy 32.
Um Excuse me, but you seem to have ignored my questions yet again.
Just answer this one, if Alcohol is so bad, then why is it not prohibited in Leviticus and second, why did Jesus use alcohol and wine to illustrate his purpose here on earth in Luke 5 36-39
[SUP]36 [/SUP]He told them this parable: “No one tears a piece out of a new garment to patch an old one. Otherwise, they will have torn the new garment, and the patch from the new will not match the old. [SUP]37 [/SUP]And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. [SUP]38 [/SUP]No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins. [SUP]39 [/SUP]And no one after drinking old wine wants the new, for they say, ‘The old is better.’”
Sorry, wrong again.
Consider your source.
The author of your quote was a Seventh-day Adventist in the tradition of Ellen G. White.
Not only did he rail on alcohol, he did so against contemporary Christian music and bikinis at the beach. And he claimed the papacy was the antichrist.
Personally, I think Ellen G. White was an antichrist.

Then read verse 39 a few times.What is the point of the parable? The point is that you are not to mix the old with the new. The old is preferred but it is not good because it causes problems. You are making the old good when it is actually bad. For the old causes problems in both parables.
Then read verse 39 a few times.
Or will you try to explain that away too?
