How much grape juice is too much grape juice?

Wow, I got a big laugh out of that one!

 

Unfortunately I have to leave, but I would like to know the answer to the cluster conundrum. How is it that wine is always alcoholic, when the bible says that new wine is inside a grape?

 

a grape will ferment if left on the vine too long. The juice inside of this grape is alcoholic. Insects get drunk from eating these grapes.

 

Because that's where new wine comes from. webdog is right that grapes can ferment on the vine, but that's not how I understand the verse. It's like saying there's good steak in that cow. It's true, but you still have to cut it out, trim it, season it and cook it.

 

So do monkeys. No kidding.

 

I didn't know that. I found this video from Animal Planet, though.

It's very interesting. Monkeys got used to alcohol from fermented sugar cane. Then they started stealing drinks from the local outdoor bar. Not all of them steal alcoholic drinks - some reject alcohol and steal normal drinks.

The same percentage of monkeys as humans reject alcohol. The same percentage of monkeys as humans drink in moderation. The same percentage of monkeys as humand are drunks. The same percentage of monkeys as humans think the rest of the monkeys aren't saved. Okay, I made up that last one.

 

That was hilarious! I think I've met those guys before! :laugh: :laugh:

 

I suppose the sky is the limit---but I do have an experience I will share

While a teenager-----momma had bought a big jug of Welch's---well---I got to drinkin' it---and just couldn't get enough---kept going back to the frig for more---4-5 nice cups of it

About 30 minutes later----I found out that grape juice is some sorta related to prune juice---ain't they cousins to each other???

Grape juice is good laxative if you don't like prune juice

:type: :laugh: :laugh:

 

Yeah, did you see me? I was the one rolling around on the table at the end. Obviously, that was before I started losing my hair. :laugh:

 

Hey! Ya' might as well squeeze it for all it's worth! :laugh: :laugh:

BTW, are we at page 30 yet? Just wonderin'!

It just feels that way. Actually, no, it feels more like page 300.

 

It's illegal to hunt in vineyards in a lot of places because the birds get drunk and can't fly.

BTW, do they make a prune wine?

 

This is true!! If any of you have fruit trees----especially Pear or Apple---I've seen it in Fig tree, too

Some of the fruit falls to the ground and gets rotted---Red Wasps and Yellow Jackets will work themselves into a frezzy---its interesting---watch the little suckers---they'll fly(stagger) around like "Otis Campbell's" of the insect world!!!:laugh:

 

So the birds and the bees get drunk off rotten grapes, and that is the blessing found in new wine in the cluster? Do ye really believe that?

 

Christians are are to be "temperate in all things". I Cor. 9:25.
Yes, gluttony should be considered when a church chooses a leader.
If you are asking how sinful can you be and still be a deacon, you should probably not be a deacon.

 

Yep...Ol' blackbird...the "energizer bunny" of the BB.

Thanks to Mr. Welch's juice, he just keeps going....and going.....and going.....:laugh:
