This is Jesus coming out so to speak at the wedding and is symbolic in many ways... (from wikipedia)
The more usual interpretation, however, is that this is a reference to the appearance of Jesus, whom the author of the Fourth Gospel regards as being himself "the good wine".[6] According to Bill Day,[who?] the miracle may also be interpreted as the antitype of Moses' first public miracle of changing water (the Nile river) into blood. This would establish a symbolic link between Moses as the first saviour of the Jews through their escape from Egypt and Jesus as the spiritual saviour of all people.[7]

I’ll let me mate do the talking because no one says it better.

I'm disappointed.
Is that all Porky?
Richard Dawkins doesn't believe in God and therefore neither do you and that means what?

Your words please Porky, not post richards stuff which you've done before.
You know I wont be reading reams of stuff to discern what you mean and believe.
It would be like me posting the bible and saying read it and get back to me.

So good to see you again Clem
I've thought of you now and then and hoped you were going ok.
Not good having no heating during winter but glad to hear new move fixes it.
I've appreciated you supporting me on OSA despite you copping heaps of shit. Good onya
Not tolerating any shit for my faith this time and thankfully, it has been a different story this time round here with more understanding for which I am grateful for.
I do wish there was no barriers to those who are attracted to those of the same sex.
I can state my reasons why with a biblical argument in support of those who are 'gay' as I have said before on OSA and other forums, no sin is greater than the other, all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, no one can judge another only God. Just a taster
Anyhoo, good to see you and here's to happy days ahead
Aww thanks Sugar. That's a nice thing to say.
There are some things in life that faze me, some things not as much. A bit of sideways banter or me copping a little shit, don't really faze me in the slightest. I probably had it coming in the first place lol
Here's a Dinky Di, True Blue, Bonzer Spiritual joke. I know it's Spiritual because it was told to me by a Uniting Church Minister who at the time had 47 years experience in Pastoral Care. He was teaching Communication Skills to a Voluntary Group when I met him.
The joke goes:
"Y'know what a Coronary Occlusion is"?
"It's a clot in the artery."
"Yes" he sez "So what's a Theological Occlusion"?
"Dunno" I sez.
"It's a Clot in the Pulpit"!

Absolutely not queer here: yep. I agree. It's called 'cultural thinking'. We live in a Theocracy and being queer is an 'abomination' today just like it was in the times of the old testament. 4 million years of evolution has not much changed the way we think.
Not necessary! A window or a large fish tank will do. The aim is to induce an 'outwardly directed' trance.
I like the way you hold your bat, Porky! but sadly the situation is ultra complex. No use citing Scientists after Einstein said: "I didn't arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind." (Alpert, Be Here Now, p 97)He has hundreds of links but that’s 2 to get ya started.
His best selling book is called The God delusion.
Also: “Oh Thou, who art trying to learn the marvel of Love from the copybook of Reason, I am very much afraid that you will never really see the point”. (Hafiz, ibid, p.75.)
Seems to me "... the copybook of Reason" could be the Bible, the Torah, the Baghavad Gita, etc.
And has anyone noticed HOW we understand things? The answer seems to just 'come in' from somewhere outside. I mean, realistically if you don't know something how can you think of it?
