Fruit of the vine: Did Jesus drink fermented (i.e. alcoholic) wine?

The phrase fruit if the vine is a reference to grape juice. Grape juice is unfermented (i.e. non-alcoholic).

Matthew 26:29
But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

Mark 14:25
Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

Luke 22:18
for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes

😆 The whole post is about getting drunk, not drinking at all. Read you own post, and yes they do know for an absolute fact what makes some handle alcohol more than others and not only what but can measure it and duplicate it.

That is not what I inferred from it.

Washington had two on the vine
I mean two pairs of testicles
So divine

You don't need to make a new thread for each and every bit of your bullshit, it's not that funny.

The thread had nothing to do with drugs or alcohol.

More assumptions.

That is only because you read what you want from it, in all references in that post it talked about getting drunk not drinking, back then it was safer to drink wine than water and they didn't have the capability to make non-alcoholic wine which would have even been deadlier with the already tainted water and no way to refrigerate it.

I have, why do you think I posted what I did, you need to read it again.

Those two links are brand new. There were ways to remove the alcoholic content of wine (read the first link).

Why would you want to remove the alcohol? No fun there at all.

"As to the nature of the “fruit of the vine,” employed during the Passover supper, the New Testament (Mt. 26:26-29, et al) itself is not explicit in its definition of the expression. Linguistically, it could denote grape juice, or, on the other hand, what we commonly call “wine” (with some degree of fermentation)."

Fruit of the vine must be wine because the Passover feast was in the spring and grapes were not ripe yet. Sense there is no way to preserving grape juice the substance used by Jesus at the “Lords Supper” must have been fermented.

Not getting drunk, from your own faith. This is why I say rubbish and your view is skewed.

As I said, read your own post.

You are reading selectively, besides Jesus would not do anything that raises any suspicion about His character or sinlessness. Jesus lived a sinless life; therefore, all suppositions about whether He drank or made alcoholic wine would be centered on the axis of His sinlessness.

There were ways just because you are not aware of them does not negate them (not to mention that the Romans perhaps did it).

What if drinking alcohol is not a sin though?

I don't believe that it is but there is the principle of avoiding the appearance of evil or not becoming a stumbling block to someone who has a weakness for it.
