If you got a chance to sit down with "the big guy" and have a brew what would you serve him?
I think I'd go with my Belgian strong dark ale nicknamed The Prophet

So what you are saying is that I perform miracles on a more frequent basis than Jesus did? I mean, Jesus turned water into fermented drink once and people are talking about it 2000 years later. Me, I do that just about every week. So I guess that means I'm probably going to be like intergalacticly famous or something.

But now, take that a step farther and consider the implications that fall from the use of "wine" rather than beer or "fermented drink". Wine is made by the terroir, the territory, in which the grapes are grown. The Vintner does not create the wine, he merely uses the grapes that the season gives him, good or bad, and does his best with the quality he has. On the other hand, beer is not affected by the quality of the weather. Whereas an entire crop of grapes could be wiped out by an early freeze, it would be an extremely rare famine in which grains of barley were unsuitable for making beer. So in that sense, the taste of a beer is more directly attributable to the brewer, less to the special qualities of the ingredients used. Whereas there is a finite supply of wine, limited to the number of grapes grown and by the regions in which good grapes can be grown, the supply of beer is nearly infinite, as grains can be grown annually nearly anywhere on the planet. Great beer can be supplied to all people, great wine cannot. That's just a simple fact of life on this planet. SO... think about what this says about the hidden biases in the translations of the Bible. What motivated a Church to use the word "wine", an alcoholic beverage of limited availability and quantity, over the more egalitarian and endlessly available "beer"? Was this the moment that the church chose elitism and the reinforcing of classes within society, over their own teachings regarding the equality of men?

Jesus turned water to wine with a touch of his hands but i dont recall anywhere that it says he drank wine (tonyc318 can probably clear that up if im wrong). If he did it probably wasn't alot since the bible states not to be drunk on wine, it doesnt say not to drink it at all. We discussed this at work one time and a guy stated " the bible says not to be drunk on wine, not beer".

Happy and a bit loose,
sluring a bit
stumbling around
falling down?

We're approaching "offensive" from a point of "discussion".

Please remember that you're in the "general chit chat area" and the rules governing that area. Refrain from offensive, political, or religious talk and follow the rules.

Thanks.
