Make no mistake, Paul's recommendation to Timothy was likely suggested by their co-worker, the physician Luke, and was most certainly only for treating his asthenia, not ethanol as a recreational drug.

Oh?

Yeah, it's not like Jesus would rebuke his mother Mary, nor would He make something to get people drunk!!!

Once again providing evidence that God wants us to enjoy life to the fullest. Paul just advised MODERATION!

John 2: On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman,( not Mom and not Goddess?) why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”

11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

resveratrol for a stomach virus and resultant . . .

τας (the) πυκνας (frequent) σου (of thee) ασθενειας (asthenia).

Myasthenia gravis?

You got a problem with this interpretation, LC?
