Scholar8200:Again he has a point, d quality of ancient fabric meant that u cant mend an old cloth with a new one, if u do d old one will tear d more. but d reason new wine bursts an old wine skin is because when fermentation takes place d wine wil over expand d skin thus bursting it. 1 Like |

Ubenedictus: Kindly do not quote me without going through this thread and takong advantage of the greek/hebrew guide I gave the link which offered a Greek/Hebrew guide to the original words interpreted as WINE in the Bible and what kind of WINE those words meant. The argument here is not about if in those days wine was alcoholic the argument is if the one Jesus turned from water was alcoholic and the Greek translation clearly says it wad NOT. Read and understand before you comment. Besides the illustration using the old cloth and new patch or new wine in old wineskins was not referring to the intake of wine but wad referring to the embodiment of the Holy Spirit in an unclean old sinful vessel (man). NEW FOR NEW and not NEW FOR OLD thereby destroying the vessel (man). |

Ubenedictus:actually wine at all times has always been an alcoholic beverage. Only in Nigeria will you find people who think there is such thing as none alcoholic wine. A peep in any dictionary will always refer to wine as an alcohol. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 8:12am On Nov 03, 2016 |
Geist: Is this thread about alcoholic wine or about the greek word translated as Wine in John 2 when Jesus turned water to wine and what that word meant in reality? Nobody is disputing the alcoholic content of wine but like I have pointed out wine does not have to be alcoholic to be wine. The alcoholic content in wine is a choice based on large preference but not true nature. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by Geist(m): 8:25am On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:first of, there is no such thing as alcoholic wine. To say alcoholic wine means that there has to be some kind of non alcoholic wine, which there isn't. It's like saying there is something like 'perfect peace' as if to say there can be a peace which isn't perfect and that's just not true. Wine itself is an alcohol, no need describing it as 'alcoholic wine' again. Secondly I was only correcting uben who seemed to think it was only in ancient times that wine was necessarily an alcohol. Again even till today, wine remains an alcohol. Uh? Pardon me, I didn't read your second paragraph. Could you please share any number of these alcoholic contents of wine. Never heard of such. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 8:36am On Nov 03, 2016 |
Geist: you miss the point entirely. English was derived from ancient languages and in those days certan expressions are above the literal english interpretation of then so we make do with the best possible word to fill the gap. Wine is made from grapes and in Bible days there is a word which is used when speaking of Wine as grape Juice and that word is Oinos...this word is greek..The greek word that speaks on wine with alcoholic content is known as Shekar.. Wine in those days were seen as 2 different things...one was alcoholic which is when you allowed th grapes to ferment...the other is fresh grape extract which has not fermented hence free from alcoholic content so in order to differentiate them 2 words were brought into play.....OINOS for non alcoholic grape juice (wine) and SHEKAR for alcoholic grape juice (wine) Do you understand now |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by Geist(m): 8:53am On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:dear, I was not ready to enter into this argument. I was only correcting uben. What you would refer to as non alcoholic wine is in fact not a wine but just grape juice whether in today's world or in ancient times. That was the point me I was driving at and not what the translations of wine are in the Bible. But for sake of curiosity. Where did you get the meaning of these your Greek words? They seem wrong to me. |

Geist: The word WINE in John 2 was translated from the greek word OINOS which means non alcoholic wine but since its a generic word for Wine in greek but never used to replace SHEKAR then the translators simply translated it to WINE which many like you feel it meant ALCOHOLIC WINE when in the original greek it does not. Google is your tool. you can look up the meaning of Oinos or Shekar and find out which was used in John 2 when wine was mentioned. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by Geist(m): 9:21am On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1: My question is where did you get meaning of the Greek word oinos to mean non alcoholic wine simple. Was shekar used used in the Bible? Please don't refer me to Google. Google is more like a referral and not an actual source of knowledge. I want to know your actual source of such information. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by raphieMontella: 9:33am On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:shekar is a hebrew word not greek.. And if oinos meant non-alcoholic grape juice,how can oinopotes which is derived from oinos mean drunkards? Can a drinker of juice be addicted and get drunk and be called a drunkard? 1 Like |

Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by raphieMontella: 11:16am On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:These are your words in Bible days there is a word which is used when speakingthese are words from your link your notion is that oinos means non-alcoholic juice alone..which is wong. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 11:48am On Nov 03, 2016 |
raphieMontella: No my notion is that Oinos is a generic word for Wine in greek but is not specific for alcoholic wine. I am sure tou read rhe new link I sent you thoroughly and agree with it otherwise you would have raised more objections as you are well known to do. |

FSMs: From your choice of expressions I would rate you as a guy between 20 and 23 but even a guy in that stage of life is more intelligent and makes more sense then you do in an argument so I wonder if there isnt a deficiency with you upstairs. Since English isnt your strong side why not start typing in your native dialect and save yourself the embarrassment of not knowing what a past participle is and when it is used in a sentence especially if people in primary 6 know it too well. DRINK DRANK DRUNK is the order. In a sentence it goes thus; I drank the left over wine which everyone else drunk yesterday or I wish I hadnt drunk that wine or You can drink that wine but make sure it isnt one someone else has already drunk simply because the word Drunk was used does not mean a drunken state it depicts an act of previois drinking. its like saying GET GOT GOTTEN or TAKE TOOK TAKEN or RING RANG RUNG its simple english but I guess for you english isnt so simple. |

Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by DeSepiero(m): 2:24pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:Still on the argument I see. But what makes you believe that the drink which Jesus allegedly produced (miraculously) is certainly a nonalcoholic beverage? |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 3:32pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
DeSepiero: This has already been thrashed out and accepted by one of yours. in a nutshell...Greek origin of the word for Wine used in John 2 and ots meaning and the what context the word was used. Easy as pie. A little research goes a long way. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by DeSepiero(m): 3:50pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1:Considering that the Greek word 'Oinos' could be used for wine (alcoholic beverage) or grape juice (nonalcoholic beverage), my research does not totally rule out the possibility that the drink in question is an alcoholic beverage. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 3:53pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
DeSepiero: Suite yourself especially when translators have linked the same word to the word YAYIN then I suggest you cross reference both. Have fun. |
Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by DeSepiero(m): 4:03pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
4everGod1: From that site of yours, linking it to Yayin doesn't still erase that possibility because yayin is either fermented or unfermented. We both know fermentation results in alcohol production. So, in essence, Yayin can still have significant amounts of alcohol.

Re: The Story Of Jesus: A Plagiarized Lie Christians Need To Stop Believing. by 4everGod1: 4:22pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
DeSepiero: Like I said suite yourself. Nobody can convince a person who refuses to be convinced especially when they see themselves as an adversary. |

4everGod1: I understand you have the need to bow out of this conversation at the moment, but the ad Hominems are unnecessary. Let's just say I keep an open mind on many issues. One mustn't close up all possibilities on an issue just to favour or protect ones belief. |

GrizzlyBear: Op just bamboozled everyone with fakes ass lies and stories. Odysseus was the KING of Ithaca a Greek city. Yes its true that his story emphasises on his suffering, but that's because he was COURSED by Poseidon the god of sea and tremor after he ( Odysseus) boasted that I the was him and not the gods that devised a way to destroy Troy. Yes, Odysseus was a king and a warrior, something the Op felled to tells us. Your comparison with his soldiers and the disciples of Christ is total rubbish!!!! You were just reaching there. He letter got to his home , killed people and reclaimed his kingdom. Lol... Dionysus was never born to a virgin girl, Dionysus who was the Greek demi god of wine, vegetation and fertility of nature had a earthly mother who's name was Semele and Zeus bleeped her and she became pregnant. The only of Zeus's children that was of virgin birth was the goddess Athena, and guess what? She sprang out from Zeus's head!!! Not from a woman but from the god's head. So please stop spreading lies everywhere!!! I don't know much about the other stories you posted there but I'm sure going to research on them and crash this your lies polluted thread! |
