Your joke about Catholics and condoms isn’t really relevant for @HopkinsReb. That is if you’re trying to offend him by making an equivalent Catholic joke.

He’s Anglican.

I was not trying to offend anyone. His favorite joke then isn’t relevant for him either as he neither Baptist or Methodist.

One does not have to be a part of group to make a joke about that group. Gee whiz. I bet you’re a great time at parties.

I have a great time at parties and that is where these jokes belong…not on a public forum.Or is it that what this whole forum has become…a joke?

This is ridiculous. Lighten up. There’s plenty of serious discussion on here. There’s nothing wrong with a little joking around. Jokes do not have to be limited exclusively to parties and stand-up routines.

Ok, I will digress with one of my favorites. You and I obviously disagree but I am choosing now to agree with you.:roll_eyes: The only problem we have now is that two of us are wrong.
 
I was raised Baptist. Baptists also told that joke, as of themselves.
 
Thank you @Ianman87. That seems like a good clarification - the length of time the grapes are allowed to ferment.
 
@Sarcelle

Okay. Thanks. That makes much more sense now.

I have withdrawn my joke from this forum since it has been judged to be so offensive.

I will try not to joke again. 😟

I’m curious as to how they halted the fermenting process or was it just the dilutional effect of the amount of water added? Do you know?
Thanks

I would think the amount of time the grapes were allowed to ferment and also
the amount of dilution of water probably also had something to do with it.
Jesus was always travelling. Did he and the apostles travel bringing along their own diluted wine or did they depend on the wine wherever they stopped? He probably drank whatever wine was available, but how am I to know.

He just took a couple buckets down to the lake and came back with wine, of course…
 
Yes, turning lake water into wine - not sure I would want to partake.
Water from the well would be more to my
liking!!!
 
Being of just enough German stock to make things interesting (roughly 3% per AncestryDNA, which verified the genealogy I had already done on my own), I tried my hand a few years ago at making homebrewed beer. It could either turn out very, very good or pretty vile. Depended on which bottle you happened to open. I finally gave it up because all the cleaning you had to do was just far too much work. I might take it back up one day.

It sounds like you didn’t do a good enough job of maintaining proper hygiene during the bottling process.

It is my understanding that they boiled the grape juice down to a paste and then stored the paste in jars/skins. The combination of being boiled and stored in a container kept the paste from fermenting or at least fermenting at fast. They wanted the juice to ferment enough to have enough to alcohol to purify the water but not enough not get you roaring drunk.

To use the paste they added a small amount of paste to water and mixed it up to drink. Basically it was the ancient version of water purification tablets. Obviously they didn’t know about germs and such but they were smart enough to know that water mixed with a little wine kept people from getting as sick as often.
 
I have neither the skill, nor the patience to brew my own. I’m more than happy to let those nice folks in Milwaukee and St. Louis and Colorado do it for me. (I love what my kids derisively call “Dad Beer”…the cheaper, the better).
 
So you are insinuating what Jesus drank was more of a juice than a wine?
