:*because he would never have provided an opportunity to sin,
:*and because he absolutely would never promote the sin of drunkenness in the celebration of a wedding feast by providing more than 100 gallons of ''intoxicating'' wine, as distinctly different from ''nonintoxicating'' new wine (John 2:1-11).
:The fundamentalist position is clear, that the very use of wine with ''any'' degree of alcoholic content would therefore immediately constitute a sin of drunkenness the moment it touched the lips .

:and thus the The fundamentalist conclusion that the sin of drunkenness is inextricably linked to wine is the basis of the doctrine that the production of alcoholic wine by the sinless Jesus would have involved him in providing immediate opportunity for serious sin. Therefore, fundamentalist doctrine teaches Christian fundamentalists teach that what Jesus miraculously produced was fresh grape juice, "the best wine", and they assert that no Jew ever got drunk on the wine provided at any Jewish marriage feast, and that being "full of wine" did not mean being drunk with alcohol but only "full to satiety" (satiated, filled to the full, fully satisfied, unable to consume any more).
:This doctrine contradicts the teaching of the Bible which clearly demonstrates that drinking an excess of new wine produces drunkenness, . Acts 2:13-15 and those other texts cited above which specifically mention new wine.
