The word "wine" is mentioned 200+ times in the King James Bible. In the Old Testament there are 3 Hebrew words that are all translated as â??wineâ?.

YAYIN: Intoxicating, fermented wine (Genesis 9:21).

TIROSH: Fresh grape juice (Proverbs 3:10).

SHAKAR: Intoxicating, intensely alcoholic, strong drink (often referred to other intoxicants than wine) (Numbers 28:7).

the wine Jesus drinks of is grape juice!!



So because all 3 are given the same translation you pick the 1 out of 3 that you want? The mere fact that there is a distinction in the Hebrew proves that actually was thought put into using the correct word in the correct context, irregardless of what the oft-mistranslated KJV Bible says. Now, find the passage in Hebrew where it says that Jesus turned water into "Tirosh" and not "Yayin". I don't think you'll find it.

Simple question -- if Jesus was indeed just drinking fresh grape juice (which was a rarity in biblical times, but that would make the creation of it more special, which does lend credence to your argument) then how could anyone accuse him of being a drunkard as was written in the Bible? You dont accuse grape juice drinkers of being drunkards.
