it was considered barbaric to drink undiluted wine. In those days, wine was mixed with water, so your bladder is more likely to get full before you get ever drunk. Mikey: in *some* cultures in *some* time periods it was considered barbaric to drink undiluted wine. There I fixed it for you, now you have to prove that this specifically applied to the wedding at Cana or any other pro alcohol passage in Scripture.

SKUNK: When God tore top to bottom the veil of the Holy of holies as Christ finished His substitutionary atonement for His people, He announced the end of the Aaronic earthly priesthood system -- with all its furnitures, the human actors (i.e. priests), and animal sacrifices -- a system that served as a shadowy type of the true High Priest to come who alone holds the office of the eternal priesthood. Now the true Priest has come and offered Himself without blemish to God as the one and only Sacrifice for sin, once for all, never to be repeated, and He has accomplished eternal salvation and cleansing of conscience for His people. And His people have this confident hope of heaven always, since their eternal Priest always lives to make intercession for them. So what is making you, my Roman Catholic friends, cling to a version of a priesthood system and its superstitions (which certainly will not cleanse away your sins), and not cling to the only true High Priest who will cleanse you from your sins? 7/27/2022 0 Comments Is the Church the "New Israel"?First Opponent Jay:
