What do you think?

I ask this question because there are some Christian  sects that do not allow their members  to drink wine - or any alcohol.
there are two words in the koine greek. where ever the phrase 'fruit of the vine' or 'new wine' is used it means 'grape juice.' (new wine grape juice exposed to yeast) and where the bible says wine it means alcoholic wine.

alcohol, consumed in small quantities, is neither harmful nor addictive.

You’ve reversed it. Now your first statement is incorrect and the second one is true. Again, there are multiple verses in the Bible which forbid the consumption of any amount of wine.

That said, it's not quite grape juice as we know it (since the process that helps make that possible is about 151 years old), since it's pulpy as crap (7-23%). Also, worse for Drich's argument, it doesn't appear in Strong's Concordance.

Do you have a reference for that word and it's definition? Languages are often fluid, drifting about with nothing to anchor them. So I would be interested to know if this word was indeed used during biblical times or if it emerged later on in the language.
