If alcohol is so bad for you, then why did Jesus turn water into wine?

If it’s good enough for Jesus Christ, it’s good enough for me.

Being sober is essentially blasphemy.

You talking about the Bible?


pouring one out for our saviour right now


Alcohol was good back then because if you drank the water you died from Dysentery (see Oregon Trail).


I guess I'm more religious than I thought. 🤣

Did Jesus turn dirty water into clean water? No. He turned it into wine, at a wedding… like 600+ liters of wine…

It’s clear JC was trying to party.


If this a parody on modern politics/extreme takes?

Always the analogy I use.  If Jesus wanted to turn it into a party who am I say otherwise?


Jesus didn’t die on the cross for us to be sober.


They couldn't conceive of clean water back then. But they did understand that they didn't die after drinking booze. Plus, it was fun so two birds with one stone.


As I said, Jesus liked to party.


He needed to drink to tolerate walking around the desert with a pack of bickering groupies.


Well, I sure have the feeling that I’m dying when drinking booze lately. I wish I was 18 years old again.


Drink whatever you want but don't put yourself or others in danger. It's always good to keep your wits about you.

Someone better have some good wine 🍷 tonight cause Ima not getting any. 😭


This is why I gave up on vodka. Can't remember the last time I had a good time with it.... because I don't remember shit in the morning 😂

Perhaps that's good though 😆


Everything in moderation

life was very different 2,000 years ago. most of the people then died young by our standards and didn’t have to worry so much about the long term affects of alcohol. in the long run, alcohol is a shitcoin. quit before it ruins your health. peace.

Hard to argue with this logic, good sir.

I salute you 🫡


I’m one helluva blaspheme then 😂😂😂


It’s tasty poison

All of us alcoholics totally agree!


This checks out.


amen sir

back in the day that “wine” made you hallucinate like a mfer

Drinking and parties and whipping bankers WWJD


@Hunger game   Feasting is not fasting to simply solve old argument and no beverage industry unlike Johnny walker advertising in Jesus time and change water to wine on demand on invited wedding end up in divorce crisis due to poverty. Don’t fool yourself in age of genocide regardless of medical genocide or other genocide in history of genocide before and after Christ.


That's why I'm always crazy like this, always changing water for wine 🤓


Maybe it was grape juice and ppl got sugar high, it was wedding and celebration, maybe it wasn’t wine it was something different


its enough to just like getting high.

you don't have to make a whole religious rationalization out of it.


Once in a while sometimes not for years sometimes , few times a year I believe natural high is better


blasphemer


The human liver is evil and needs to be punished.

Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.  Praise to salvation in a can!

Well, a lot of people are functional addicts, and there’s a problem that we could only interact with people when you’re drunk, drinking is not good once in a while I believe it’s okay , most couples, and most people can’t even have a relationship without some alcohol, or they can’t even have intimacy without alcohol


Are you trolling how do you manage to socialize code and troll


Sometimes I am drunk to the Holy Spirit, does this work, too!


Nah don’t talk like that about Jesus because these are the things that called stew pour some for the dead God is living God


If you are turning to religion to justify drug usage, it sounds like a stretch. Sorry.


I’m too drunk to parse this sentence


Alcohol in His day was remarkably weak compared to alcohol today, and the Bible condemns drunkenness. Frankly, I see no point in alcohol. Smells like crap, supposedly tastes like crap, poisons your liver... All to temporarily escape your troubles.

Never had a drop, never will. If people enjoy it, that's their choice but I'll never be able to understand it.


Scripture prohibits drunkenness, plus when Jesus said this, he said it in context, because people were doing so much sacrifices like blood sacrifices, I believe that he was speaking in a metaphor, and probably was talking about grape juice, …..


Like how does pouring alcohol into the ground it’s in memory of someone people are always only taken in term of the body, but not the soul was such a deep conversation. It’s actually becoming uncomfortable.


So you’re calling Jesus Christ a liar?


Yeah you’re right you’re not the one who started the conversation I was someone talking about it somewhere else but I get it it’s just an uncomfortable conversation is going somewhere I don’t like with people I don’t wanna talk to


Alcohol doesn’t get you high.


lol
OK bro


Have you ever had alcohol..?


devoted alcoholic for 15 years
casual drinker for another 15

if you think simple sugars don't get you high
youre probably pretty alienated from your bodily sensations.
or just making shit up 🤨

alcohol is one of the most basic carbohydrates.


tell me you never tried Absinthe without telling me you never tried Absinthe 😅


You need the real deal from Prague, not the BS they sell in America. I bought an absinthe kit that was a legit bottle, the slotted spoon for the sugar cube, and a special glass. I break it out on special occasions.


Jesus turned (some) water into wine because he understood scarcity & human nature.  Excellent marketing really, since we're still here talking about it, and folks pay a huge premium for wine over water these days. 😏


Hell yeah... and yup have also had the real deal with the wormwood 😎


Most alcoholic beverages contain carbohydrates, but alcohol itself is not a carbohydrate.

I stand corrected 🙏


Mostly because back in the day water was bad for you. It had bacteria in it. Alcohol didn't.

There were no added sulphites.

Yeah, Noah passed out naked in his tent because he had a little too much grape juice. Pfff.


It still counts as a meal! 🍻

This is a baptist tradition u assume true bc the boomer pastor told u it, but is not accurate. Reread this miracle account. Only the servants knew what he did. Master of the ceremony tells the groom u bring out the good wine first and the cheap wine second, but Jesus wine was the better. u bring out the good wine BEFORE people aare buzzed so they appreciate it and the cheap after when they are past caring.

Drunken-Ness is not acceptable but repeating a biblically inaccurate traditional baptist line is damaging.


In the third day after Jesus began His ministry, He attended a wedding in Cana of Galilee along with His mother, Mary, and His disciples. During the celebration, the hosts ran out of wine, which was a significant oversight for such an event.

Noticing this, Mary approached Jesus and informed Him of the situation. Jesus initially responded that His hour had not yet come, but Mary's faith compelled her to instruct the servants to do whatever Jesus said.

Jesus then directed the servants to fill six stone jars with water. Once filled to the brim, He instructed them to draw some out and deliver it to the master of the banquet. As they did, the water miraculously transformed into wine—remarkably better than what had been served previously.

The master of the banquet, unaware of the miracle's source, praised the bridegroom for saving the best wine for last. This miracle not only demonstrated Jesus's divine power but also served to affirm His disciples' faith in Him.


Jesus, he could transmute water to wine, but there is no way it meant that it’s OK to be drunk and he had told his mother that he really didn’t want to do it


Jesus could do a lot of things since he was a child, but he told his mother that his time hasn’t come to for him to show his gifts to people to minister to people so on that night he wasn’t ministering he was giving the wedding a favour


More like listening to his mom


I didn’t like this on X, and I still don’t like it in nostr.

We should debate this on a camera :)


Euros too dumb to realize that they derived alcohol because

1. Shit options for food
2. Helps not freeze in winter

It's just a product of the harsh environment

In a comfy world it's just a crutch for the genetically weak


Before modern times, drinking water was often risky. Efficient water filtration methods didn’t exist, making it nearly impossible to store and keep water clean, especially in southern regions. In contrast, wine was safer.

The following passage from the Bible supports this idea:
“Be no longer a drinker of water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.”

So, you’re absolutely right.

It’s all about balance and responsibility. Even good healthy home cooked food is bad if you eat to much of it.

lol....yeah that's all right for the blue eyed christ crew... as for the nappy headed rastas and their Christ in his Kingly character, they say never trust those who don't use the herb as it is the healing of the nation --- the Bible tells us so. Funny how different cultures think differently about their biblical readings...


Atheism fixes this.

Because they didn't have clean water back then, diluted wine was safer to drink. The question is: Why didn't Jesus miraculously produce a water purification plant?


Replied to this on X and didn’t get a response, but drinking alcohol and saving in bitcoin is an obvious contradiction.

One drink can disrupt your metabolism for up to 72 hours...

it also disrupts sleep quality and increases cortisol.

Drinking alcohol is high time preference behavior.

If you want to experience the bright orange future you should treat your body like your bitcoin stack.

Bible verses don’t change hard science.

French will say wine is wine, not alcohol!! I guess we’re good


And you're sure that the Bible isn't a plot by Big Alcohol to sell more wine?


For example


He also spat in the dust and rubbed the mud in someone's eyes to cure blindness. I don't recommend putting mud in your eyes to help poor eyesight.


They had less than half of you estimated lifetime.


Everything in moderation, including moderation


Quality does not mean that it's stronger. This could mean the flavors is better. It's not damaging, the world would be way better off without alcohol. I can tell you that much right now. While y'all fry your brains on that literal poison (includes weed), you're not doing anything productive in your life or in society.

It is supreme weakness if you must fall back on alcohol in the face of difficulty. Escape the prison and find your way to freedom.


I'm simply saying don't use the bible as ure backup for this opinion because it doesn't back you up. Drunkenness is a sin. Alcohol consumption isnt.


It does back it up, actually. There are passages that talk about being sober (and not just in mind). Sure, a sip of wine at Christmas or other festivities isn't bad, but nine times out of ten, alcohol consumption goes far beyond that.


My family has been selling alcohol, traditional british real ale, for over 200 years

Markets hardly slowing down... Ie people demand it

The health dis-benefits are getting clearer and clearer though, so long-term I think that's a threat to the business
