According to the Christian gospels, Jesus Christ turned water into wine - lots of wine.

Why didn't Jesus work with iron instead - and turn the iron into gold - lots of gold?

That way the wedding party could have purchased wine (lots of it) and Jesus would not have been betrayed by Judas (over thirty pieces of silver).

Jesus could have raised the wages of Judas, his accountant, and prevented being betrayed and all of Christianity would have turned out a little differently.

The gospels would be written differently. A different story would be told.

New Testament: Water into Wine

Alchemy: Lead into Gold

Maybe it's because you can't drink iron?

The Bible says that when Jesus spent 40 days in the wilderness, the devil temped him to turn stone into bread.

So he could have done whatever he wanted to do but he did what he chose to do.

He could have used the iron to build a robot army, armed them with lasers - then he could use them to fight the Roman Empire and he wouldn't need wine or gold.

Well, being God he could just smite anyone in the world that he didn't like just like he did in the time of Noah and Moses, not to mention Sodam and Gamorah.

"Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." Luke 18:25
Who needs gold?

Btw. Jesus needed to be betrayed by Judas. He is a lamb. Literally a human sacrifice for sin.

Like Water for Iron topic

Which is heavier, a pound of water or a pound of iron?

Maybe a pound of flesh trumps all? :wink:

Jesus wasn't into material things. I see him quite literally as a 1st century flower child.

Like a fillet weld, or filet of soul?

You certainly can't get intoxicated with it.

You don't need iron to live. If you don't have water you die. Gold doesn't bring happiness. Wine (in moderation, at a party/wedding) does.

Your blood depends on an iron-bonded molecule. You do need iron to live.

Look up -heme-.

Everyone knows that evil creatures can't touch cold iron.

Where in the Bible did it mention that Jesus touched silver (money) or ate garlic?

I rest my case. :D

Its because Jesus was really an amanita muscaria mushroom, and those take a lot of water to grow. Water is also like God's semen in ancient religion (Mother Earth/ Father Sky; Gaia/Uranus), and the mushroom is God's boner manifest on earth. You eat it, and you'll get closer to the rain maker and his infinite wisdom about the universe. Read The Sacred Mushroom sometime. This sounds obscene, but John Allegro, who wrote the book wasn't just anybody. He was fluent in Aramaic and an expert in scripture, really one of the few people who are qualified to find the true meaning of scripture, and when he did give his opinion on what it philologically meant, nobody wanted to hear it.
