Wine was originally an acronym for "Wine Is Not an Emulator", so I'd say it's a possibility.
I have a chatGPT idea... edit: yea you can make it loop forever lol
Everyone's focused on whether Jesus can do it or not while completely forgetting regular people can do that
Just, remove the water, c'mon.
Yes? He's literally God and created the world. Doing other things as well like multiplying loaves and rising from the dead. I think He could make wine more and more concentrated, lol
I've always found it amusing when people try to use logic to state that Jesus did this and this and it isn't logical or God isn't logical.
Who's saying God isn't logical?
Well, not to get into a theological debate here but there are many logical inconsistencies and paradoxes with religion in general.
Stuff like the "can God create a stone so large that he cannot lift it"; or just seeing all the suffering in the world and trying to justify why a benevolent, all seeing, all knowing, omnipotent being would allow kids to get cancer - either god is not capable to fix it or doesn't care, neither of which is a great outcome.
Just applying Occam's Razor in general makes religion pretty far fetched, especially the more hardline old testament you go: God creating the earth, Noah and the flood, etc. There is just a much simpler explanation to all of it.
I mean no offence to religious people in general, in fact I think religion can be very useful for some to find a purpose or belonging in their lives. I just find the cognitive dissonance of religion impossible to reconcile with reality.
I think the Problem of Evil actually makes sense when you consider eternity and infinity. The infinity that God is and Eternity that Heaven is, earthly sufferings really will be seen to be nothing. You probably don't worry about that exam anymore that you were studying for as a kid. As for the boulder thing, you may as well say maths is illogical as "can you make something greater than infinity" while infinity + 1 is equal to infinity.
As for Occam's razor- how does it explain the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? There's not really a simple explanation to why 2000 years ago, a lot of guys simultaneously told of the same dude who rose from the dead, then lived a life of suffering and no gain and end up dying because they wouldn't claim to be wrong. Along with hundreds of these early Christians turning into thousands. Something big did happen - we count our years by it. It's as if God actually did enter earth as a human.
Seems to be a common rhetoric.
Most logical explanation to everything I think
Jesus can make port confirmed
Ruby port. Stomped with stigmata. Notes of berries, plums, Euphorbia milii, leather, plasma and iron. Strong finish.
Eventually it would just become brandy.
Brandy? Awesome! The Boy Is Mine (1998) is a certified classic!
I don't mean to be "that guy", but... I'm waiting...
Jesus can spike a girl's drink from across the room.
He gets that from his dad.
This is going to bother me from now on
Is this a midas touch kinda thing? The human body is 60% water 🤔
There was a British superhero TV show called Misfits. One of the delinquents had the power to control milk, I.e. you drink milk and this guy could curdle it in your body and kill you.
Are we both thinking about 15% BAC murderin’ Jesus here?
Something over 90%.
Are you saying water made water into water with a bit of alcohol?
It was probably kombucha.
Can he put actual kombu (as in Japanese kelp) into kombucha?
Anyone, with the right foot fungus can make kombucha! Lol.
Only if he concentrates
Take your upvote and get out.

Yes. The power to do literally anything would allow one to do this.
I interpreted this as "having the basic ability to take as actions would allow you to do this", which is also true, I can ferment wine and then gradually make it more concentrated
Can he create a stone that is not liftable and then proceed to lift it?
The easiest answer to this is yes, he could create a stone he couldn't lift. And then he could lift it anyway.
Well Jesus, yes. Because Jesus let Himself die as well.
Unironically the question by witch many Christian faiths differ: does God needs abide to the rules of logic or not?
For the Roman Catholic, yes, for Calvinists and a bunch other (ok, many other but I'm not an expert), no.
Answer: whatever causes the person you're arguing with to throw their hands up and storm off more exasperated..
No, not really, it's mostly a matter of power.
The Church itself is rooted in the idea that there are autorities on matter of faith and they adopted the Platonical Agostinean idea that faith is empowered by reason. Reason being a valid tool means you have experts that reasoned a lot about religion and people that know less and needs to be taught, ultimately by the Pope.
The "other" side tends to reject authorities, and take the words of the bible as sobjected to personal interpretation or, to an extent, make it into some sort of magical object that the faithfull subjects itself to, without questions. Accepting the contradictions, the illogal parts, are what that kind of faith is about because to question (throught reasoning) God is a Sin.
Calvanists the ones that say since god is all powerful there can be no free will/everything is decided don’t apply logic?
That's the one, funnily enough in a perverted twist, they tend to see wealth as a sign that God has picked them as favourites (graced them) and they storically gravitated toward seeing poor people as, well, sinners, even thought their principles state that anyone could be graced or not no matter the more evident aspects of life.
This isn't Calvinism. This is prosperity theology, which is it's own thing.

"Water to wine" was a metaphor for sneaking it into the party.
