The un-intoxicating Pinot Noir produced by Draper Valley Vineyard has on multiple occasions made my heart glad. <br />There is a link to them in the right margin. <br />David R.

You ask about Psalm 104:15.
1. Knowing t...Johnny,<br />You ask about Psalm 104:15.<br /><br />1. Knowing the various kinds of wine in Bible times, one should not therefore immediately conclude this is speaking of alcohol. <br /><br />2. The ancients could easily preserve wine in a nonalcoholic state and it was very commonly available. Nonalcoholic wine is often found in the Bible. <br /><br />3. You don’t have to have an intoxicating drug to make a man glad. <br /><br />My mother had a couple of large elm trees taken down in her yard. Three city workers came yesterday and loaded them up and hauled them off. It was hard, sweaty work. She gave each of them an ice-cold Cherry Coke Zero. It made their hearts glad. <br /><br />Other things brought the Israelites joy and gladness: 1 Chronicles 12:40; Proverbs 12:25; 27:9; 1 Samuel 14:29. <br /><br />4. The context would imply nonalcoholic wine, since it is mentioned right along with common food items and staples. In contrast, the context of Proverbs 23 leaves no doubt God is condemning alcoholic wine. <br /><br />5. Whether or not you believe this is alcohol - either view is an interpretation. Those who believe it is alcohol are not simply taking the Bible for what it says - they are giving their interpretation. Few of them will admit that. <br />David R. Brumbelow<br />David R.
