1 Timothy 5:23
Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach’s sake and thine often infirmities.

Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?
Eager to share our brilliant political commentary and blunt media criticism, but too genteel to link to horsesass.org? Well, good news, ladies: we also answer to HASeattle.com, because, you know, whatever. You're welcome!
Then get in your car or horse drawn carriage and run a few people over, or better yet a few bicyclists.

Lmao.
So sad when the word of God is available to all who seek it. http://handbill.us/?p=32106
If you want a dry wine, look for higher alcohol content.
“When the Bible says wine it means grape juice.” So sayeth the
PiddlesLiarEveryone in the Iron Age had refrigeration and were experts in microbiology and I even hear an Archeological Dig on the site of what is now the Creation Museum unearthed a fossilized Erlenmeyer flask made of a Ram’s bladder that was used for Pasteurization. In fact Louis Pasteur really just found the formula in the Two Corinthians.
Because even God understands water may be naturally insufficient.

@5,
Two?
I thought there were more Corinthians than that.
@3 Wow God as publicist or is it spin master. Way to go God!
So do you like the big Bopper? Will Rock and Roll save my soul?
Just always wanted to ask God those questions. I have in fact and I’m still waiting for an answer. We can discuss the pony issue later. Though perhaps I could use an Eve, and I have a spare rib. Lets discuss this as I have read certain works by Mark Twain and think Adam may have been better off single.
@8 I think it was Mark Twain that said “Go to heaven for the climate and hell for the company.” But I don’t think he really believed in either.
@7 Doesn’t appear to matter all that much. God doesn’t seem overly concerned about the number of book in the bible, or those books titles.
Maybe we should slip in the Kuma Sutra. That should please god mightily. If only we could laugh more about sex, does God get a chuckle or two about sex? Does he appreciate the wonders of bacterial sex? Of otters? The wonders of penguin sex.
Grape juice, eh? Better go re-read the story of the wedding party? I’ve long pictured Mary kind of prodding Jesus to prevent the whole thing from being a dud, and a reluctant Jesus muttering “Mo-THERRRRR!” before finally relenting and doing what she asks. If it were just grape juice as opposed to water it wouldn’t have made a whole lot of difference.
@ 11
But realize that during the period, water was pretty much poisonous. Rome dumped all it’s sewage right in the Tiber, Londonium into the Thames, etc. All the major original cities were built around fresh water supplies that could also be used as outflow for sewage and the like.
Fresh water could kill you. Wine added to it did a little sterilization and added some flavor to make it palatable. You want to know what old-style Roman wine tasted like, go to southeastern Spain and find one of the old wineries there that only produces enough to be consumed more or less locally. It comes in these big thick hand-blown bottles wrapped in cane.
It’s strong, I’m not kidding. Easily 15-25% alcohol by volume.
It’s wonderful stuff, but drinking it straight kicks my ass too much. 3:1 with clear water though…
@2 Subtitled “how to attract a crowd,” or, “where is God when you need him?”
@4 Don’t forget a little wormwood in your wine.
@11 For real fun picture Jesus as the groom. Which would actually make the story make a lot more sense. Perhaps he and his mom were habitual wedding crashers though.
Alcohol was the first medicine, or at least the first medicine that came in a bottle.
@16 I doubt that alcohol was the first medicine. People were using herbs and flowers and even honey as medicine. I also doubt it came in bottles but amphora.
Well, how’s this for some bottled medicine? Bill Kristol is promising us a conservative indie candidate. Looks like God, even in an inebriated state, doesn’t want Drumpf to appoint Supreme Court justices.
No doubt Bickle will pounce on this as proof that a higher minimum wage puts companies out of business, but in this case, the main factors were credit issues, currency swings, commodity prices, and no longer being able to exploit cheap imported labor.

How terrorists make ends meet when they get old and retire.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: Of course, ideally terrorists will retire to a stone prison cell, or alternatively, won’t get old enough to need a retirement plan.
