I don't know I wasn't there. But you are certainly right about a lot of weddings and such today.(therealUT @ Jul 24 said:Interesting, yet, when the wine ran short at the wedding, Jesus made 6 stone jars more. I don't know about you, but most of the weddings and parties at, if/when they run out of alcohol everyone is pretty drunk.

I am not to familiar with the wine making process, except for that episode of I Love Lucy. If you feel that confident to think that people were smashed at a gathering that took place more than 2000 years ago then more power to you.(therealUT @ Jul 24 said:Apparently you are extremely unaware that the process used to make wine left wine a great deal more alcoholic back in the day than by today's technology. So alcoholic, in fact, that many had to cut the wine with water to drink it, hence the water and wine use in the Last Supper. So, I can say with relative certainty, that most of the people at that celebration were hammered.
I agree with you rockytop, but don't tell thefakeUT that(rockytop muskrat @ Jul 24 said:As for my two cents, I believe that the judging should be done by God and that we shouldn't be condemning people on the Volnation talk forum. Just my thoughts on the matter, now I'm out of the conversation.

Maybe you should tell me about his second creation story. I am fairly certain that there is just one. But I'm sure that you will try and convince me of it.(therealUT @ Jul 24 said:If the Bible was literally true, then God believed that the world was flat. Moses was writing books of the Pentateuch after he was dead. The sun revolved around the earth. God liked creation so much that he left two different stories of it in Genesis...
You either understand that a lot of the Bible is allegorical, or you have to deal with these contradictions.
