Question for Christian members

[wel_mel_2]

Why wouldn't it be alcoholic wine???


God doesn't prohibite drinking wine....just drunkeness.


In addition to the last supper Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding party...and we know that it was <i>good</i> wine.


Further, wine was the most common beverage in Jesus' time. Even more so than clean water.


As for the rest of your points...you do make some good ones. I lament that there exists different denominations in the Christian world that do things differently. Ultimately I feel that this is a result of the fall (man's sinfull nature). Just as Wel Mel hopes for unification in the Muslim world I hope for unification of the Christian church.

You must know that Hebrew grape juice was often referred to as wine. So i would say that Jesus peace be upon him converted water into grape juice as one of his miracles that Allah Almighty granted for him, and said that his blood is like grape juice.
