The Bible Wine Test Chart - Short

This chart shows every instance of the word wine in the Bible. All 236 matches spanning 216 verses for the word ‘wine(s)’ and ‘winebibber(s)’ in 44 books of the Bible. These are then divided into meaning groups to determine if a logical pattern emerges. This process is done to satisfy the 3rd ‘Rule of Context’, the 5th ‘Rule of Non-Contradiction’, and the 7th ‘Rule of Single Interpretation’, which as part of the Seven Golden Rules of Bible Interpretation. The remaining rules and details can be found within The Torchbearer Series of lectures.

Chart shows that there would be a wine conflict within the Bible if it were not for knowing the true meaning of wine as defined in old dictionaries. At the time the word 'wine' was translated into English for the Bible, it had more than one meaning. (See references 1,2,3, and 4 below) Some modern dictionary definitions for 'wine' still contain the fuller meaning today (see reference 5 below). "The juice, fermented or unfermented, of various fruits or plants, used as a beverage, sauce, syrup, etc."
