Was Jesus, and the Apostles, or whoever wrote that Gospel, trying to promote alcoholism?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6539727


If you can't handle your liquor, that is your problem.

Drinking a glass of fermented red grape juice twice a week does not qualify as alcoholism.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 21903530


ALL non-"drinkers" are more drunk on there anti-booze fetish than are out and out, falling-down drunks on booze.

Same way with the insane, anti-gun cranks who violently scream "death to all gun-owners", who ALL are born-killers. Theseare the same insane who go out looking for a free kitty for a pet for their spoiled-rotten kid, so he has something to molest to death, to keep him out of trouble, and who then also have the helpless little creature de-clawed, and then thrown outside everynight to try to defend herself against the hoards of vicious tom-cats.

Re: How Jesus Turned Water Into Wine and YOU Can Too!
Even if the answer is "temporarily break the laws of God's universe" every miracle has an explanation at some level. Personally, I don't think any miracle violates the laws of the universe though they may well leverage concepts, properties or even technologies far beyond our understanding (and are thus "magic" to us).

In life people are often surprised or disappointed when they learn how things are really done. The truth, just like Jesus' message, is often very simple, practical and obvious in hindsight. That's the beauty of it really.

A simple explanation to this miracle doesn't harm the teachings within the story. At one level, this story is about faith in Jesus. Consider what happened:

Mary: OMG they're out of wine! The party's ruined!
Jesus: Relax mom! Tell them to get those casks, fill them with water and get back here ASAP.

Now it's possible that Mary could have said, "Jesus you're crazy. That will never work! In fact, if we did that our family will never be able to show their faces in this town again! You know even the Governor is in there right now!". But she didn't. She had faith that He was leading her to safety even though she didn't completely understand what was going on right that moment.

In the end, the party was saved and even the most important guests had very kind things to say about what a good party it was. And the reason was having faith in Jesus.

Step 1: Find a wine jug that's been used a lot of times.

Step 2: Fill jug with room-temperature water.

Step 3: Agitate.

Don't you just love it how atheists dedicate their life to only mocking one God. You all are only proving what master Freemason Albert Pike said about atheism, to be correct.
1 Timothy 3:16 KJV
And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.

Isaiah 9:6 KJV
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Mark 16:16 KJV
He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

Acts 2:38 KJV
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Romans 8:6-9 KJV
6) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
7) Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
8) So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
9) But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

Matthew 15:8-9 KJV
8) This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
9) But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

Acts 5:29 KJV
Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

Re: How Jesus Turned Water Into Wine and YOU Can Too!
I AM a Christian but I don't believe that being able to explain a miracle lessens its impact or its teaching. I heard someone ask about trying to explain the "Multiplying the Fish and Loaves" miracle. Here's a possible explanation. And I think its one that actually makes the message and meaning MORE powerful.

Now realize at the time Jesus was attracting a HUGE following that spanned ALL levels of society, from the very rich and powerful to the most poor and destitute.

The throngs and multitudes had been following and listening to Jesus for a while now. Those who were wealthy, well-off or just wise came well prepared for a marathon of wandering and teaching. The poor and destitute kept being poor and destitute and still had next to nothing. Many of them were now quite tired and hungry.

His disciples told him, "Hey! Many of these people are beginning to become weak and pass out with hunger. We need to feed them! What do we do!!!"

So he told them to gather what they little they had and just start passing it out. The wealthy and well provisioned who were holding out, saw the disciples (who had almost nothing themselves) giving up what little they had. Those with food who were holding out felt ashamed and a miracle happen. They shared what they had with poor, miserable, smelly, wretched strangers. There was actually more than enough for everyone.

fillth? or filleth, wasn't it fill the empty jugs with water? then presto laso! more grape juice.( or maybe he did change water into wine.) meteforically, believe in me and I will give you living water, and never be thirsty again. I think he was being resourcefull. Im sure everyone had a good time. Guess you had to be there.
His teachings was about spirtuality.
Moving mountains, a metefor.. meaning obsticals in your life to have a closer relationship with God. I never seen anyone move a mountain without some blasting powder and a bull dozer. And why would you want to move a mountain anyway.

OP you obviously don't know or understand what a REA; miracle is.

And because you do not have spiritual vision, you assume it must be some kind of 'trick'.

The throngs and multitudes had been following and listening to Jesus for a while now. Those who were wealthy, well-off or just wise came well prepared for a marathon of wandering and teaching. The poor and destitute kept being poor and destitute and still had next to nothing. Many of them were now quite tired and hungry.

His disciples told him, "Hey! Many of these people are beginning to become weak and pass out with hunger. We need to feed them! What do we do!!!"

So he told them to gather what they little they had and just start passing it out. The wealthy and well provisioned who were holding out, saw the disciples (who had almost nothing themselves) giving up what little they had. Those with food who were holding out felt ashamed and a miracle happen. They shared what they had with poor, miserable, smelly, wretched strangers. There was actually more than enough for everyone.

really like every single word of it?

Not every single word...I think people where listening and Jesus simply explained how to feed the people by sharing as God shares his love, and the holy spirit.
Things are different in heaven, God shares the universe with all. we are all part of god, so helping the less fortunate would be the nature of God.
The way it was written so people would remember,and to glorify God,, so it was written to look like a miracle.
If you saw someone freezing in the cold, and you had more than enough to wear, wouldn't you share a sweater or jacket.?
Ive help people out during some killer snow storms by letting them live with me because they had no place to go. It was a long winter, getting them out of the house when the season was over was another story. They wouldnt leave, so I packed a few things and moved to Florida, I now have a house fully payed for, and didn't cost me a cent because I married a beautiful women who already owned it.
another miracle, a beautifull women such as my wife marrying me.

What would be the point of food miraculously appearing.
So most of the bible is meteforic, because Jesus spoke of heaven, something no one new about, yet so obvious.

Though I have seen forms of miracles, One, I introduced a guy to a women. ( this guy couldn't get a date in a womens prison) He introduced one of his friends to this womens sister, they got married, they have a bunch of kids, which probably will create generations of people. The miracle was she went out with this guy. I did feel the presence of the holy spirit when I introduced them so I knew it was ment to be. I didnt know what to expect, so I cant take any credit for this. Doing Gods will maybe, but thats what lifes all about. The lord works in mysterious ways.
