<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: 82abn</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I thought wine, by definition, is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented fruit juice. How can it be any other thing. If the Bible said fruit juice, then it would be fruit juice instead of wine. You see, this is what confuses me about biblical interpretation. Wine really isn't wine, it's fruit juice and I don't think people "back in the day" mentioned homosexuality, by word, but it is still condemned as a sin. How are we supposed to know what is literal and what is inferred? </div></div>

Youare right about the definition of wine.... a lot of believers say that it means just grape juice.... which by studying the Bible you wil see that it is not referenced anywhere to mean grape juice.I do not see in the Bible where the word "homosexual is used" but read these scriptures (Romans 1:26 is a reference to it)
1 Corinthians 6:9
Gen.18:20, 19:13
Jude 7
Lev. 18:22, 20:13

"Rampart homosexuality is an indicator of serious degradation of society".
