So, one claims to drink beer, but then immediately claims, using the same word, not to not to know what it tastes like.

Sounds like deliberate deception to confuse the message.

In 1611, was wine considered a fermented drink?

In the easiest writings of the Jesus water to..., was the word defined as fermented or non fermented, or ambiguous?

Well, John 2:11 tells us that people get drunk from drinking wine. [Or else the argument to first serve the good wine, and later (when people are drunk anyway) serve the worse wine doesn´t make any sense at all).
But maybe their drunkenness was only embedded, or something.

Or maybe the wine Jesus made was grape juice.

Joel 1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

Isaiah 65:8 Thus saith the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one saith, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all.

Jeremiah 48:33 And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab; and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

Or maybe the wine Jesus made was WD40.
So it's either intoxicating wine or WD40?

Or maybe you're just playing games.

I'd hate to see what you compare lemon aid to.

Something must be wrong on my end. It's just a blank post by you, showing on my screen.
It's an A&W root beer commercial from Youtube.

In other words, the challenge goes thusly:
I've drank [root] beer before ... many times.

Yet I don't know what [alcoholic] beer tastes like.

Can you make sense of this?

Since people got drunk from it I concluded that there was alcohol in it. You ignored my argument, as well as the one in the other post.

Or maybe you're just playing games.
Since you ignore my actual arguments, what´s left than playing your game?

I'd hate to see what you compare lemon aid to.
Don´t forget that it was you who started the silly game.

You were there too?
No, that was not my argument.

It's only "a silly game" to you because you can't see the parallel.
The game of using a word in two different meanings in one sentence in order to make your statement unintelligible? I can only find that in your OP.

What does this have to do with physical and life sciences?
Nothing -- it's a semantic parallel to a miracle that took place in John 2.

Miracles ≠ Science

Then why did you post it in this forum?

There is theology parts here on CF afterall, maybe you should ask a mod to move this thread there.

I said "goes" -- not "went".
So it´s a new "challenge"? I don´t even see how that´s a challenge.
It´s as much a challenge as "I know Paul Miller but I don´t know Paul Glaser".

I didn't write it that way, but the point goes that way.
So your OP statement was as pointless as it appeared to be, and one can´t make sense of it.
Your new "challenge" doesn´t make sense of it, it changes it completely.
