Is there no end to your twisting the scriptures.....
As for Mary with the type of clothing worn back then wouldn't it have been a little difficult to flaunt her body?
It was the custom to serve wine, why would that promote alcohol abuse?
Pray tell me where it ever stated that Mary, the mother of Jesus danced at weddings? Or that she was 46 and still very attractive?
And please learn how to give the proper location in the Bible when your using it as information to "twist" the scripture.
Not John 2 since there is a I John, II John and III John...get it 2 John or John 2
It should be John 2:1-11 indicating Chapt 2, verses 1-11

You're quickly racking up this quarters quota of absurd, useless and pretty much dumbest threads.
Please. Stop. Your mental acuity on Biblical and Historical interpretations are too much.:sarcastic

It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine nor for princes strong drink Lest they drink and forget the law and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted
Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts, Let him drink and forget his poverty and remember his misery no more
Open thy mouth for the mute in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction, Open thy mouth judge righteously and plead the cause of the poor and needy.
Seems the writer is suggesting that his son, a future king, should not imbibe in heavy drink. That drunkenness is an affliction of those who despair.
The writer also says that as a good king, his son needs to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves, that he should judge righteously, and help the poor and needy.
Although I do not believe the writings to be inspired by any god, it is not bad advice.

Perhaps you would do well to understand the importance of wine in a culture where there were no water purification plants....
(And what is your infatuation with Mary and her breasts?)

Thank you for pointing that out......the breasts that is...

Your assignment for tommorow. Open the bible randomly and, blindfolded, point to a passage and give us some more profound Biblical insight.

Thanks for reading my story.
Sure, the "Chosen People" deserved a better deity.
Jehovah had the "Holy Land" plagued with the poor and desperate.
Solution?
Simple: Get drunk!
Well, all that, because when the very first poor slave entered that holy land of Israel, Jehovah had no serious plan to eradicate poverty.
Centuries later, Jerusalem was the capital of that "Promised Land Flowing With Milk & Honey" [a terrible blunder and cheat from some Middle East idol (Jehovah!)] and it still was plagued with the same poor whose only recourse was to steal to get strong drink to help them face another day of poverty.
The proverb clearly states that to overcome desperation, poverty or terminal suffering the "Chosen People" had to get hold of STRONG DRINK!
Nice Bible; nice Jehovah!...

Personally, a guy who comes to a party and makes a bunch of wine sounds like the kind of guy I'd like to hang out with. I mean, I'd prefer Irish whiskey or gin, but it's all good.
I must commend you though, djewleu...It takes quite a bit for me to laugh out loud from reading something, but I have tears in my eyes. You have just joined the ranks of P.G. Wodehouse and John Kennedy Toole.

So next are you going to tell us the ancient Jews encouraged getting stoned since the anointment oil had cannabis as a base ingredient?
Me thinks you are rambling again.....
YOU are misquoting and misinterpreting the scriptures Kind Sir....:yes:
You are quite the challenge, never know what you'll come up with next...
But we can be sure it'll come with a bunch of exclamation marks.
