can you drink holy water if so does it taste different?

Holy Water comes from the River Jordon where John the baptist baptised Jesus. As usual, you can drink water from a clean river. River Jordon is a normal river that has drinkable water. You have to find the source where the water came from. So I'd say drinking Holy Water straight from River Jordon is very safe but drinking Holy Water from the trays in churches is unhealthy. Because the Holy Water collects the dirt from the many hands that are dipped into it.

I use water in my cauldron.  I'm not afraid of it.  Oh, but that's not exactly a baptism.

taste them both & see if they taste the same.

Fresh--and probably cleaner than the water many people in the world drink (depends on the cleanliness of your toilet). Prove it to yourself. If you taste it, you will know for sure.

Nope, becoming drunk is the sin. Catholics often use real wine for communion. I have the occasional drink. I work at a 5 star restaurant, and we go to wine tastings. My Jehovah's Witness co worker tastes the wine with the rest of us.

ignore the answer above, your body cells will not lyse after a drink as they imply.  these drinks are supposed to be isotonic with body cells but in reality they are little more use than water, there are a number of lawsuits going on in england to force these manufacturers to change the way they advertise these products.  the idea was that by mimicking the solute concs in a cell then the uptake of the drink would be more rapid, in reality the body deals with these drinks in pretty much the same way as it does with other foods.  the only reason that they needed a basic working knowledge of homeostasis was so that they could pretend it was some kind of super drink and sell more units, its an advertising gimmick, nothing more

Yes, Christians can drink alcohol. But the Bible condemns drunkeness. There is a BIG difference between sipping on a glass of wine and chugging down a whole keg of beer in one night. And if by you drinking an alcoholic beverage causes another brother to stumble, then you should refrain from drinking it.

Here is an example, and I didn't even taste it.\n\nI was doing a distillation.  One of the things in the column was 15M HCl.  Very strong acidic vapor.  Stupidly, I pulled off the glass stopped and took a big sniff.  Immediately my nose started bleeding.  I stuck my face in a sink full of water and snorted a whole bunch of water.  Let me tell you, I HATE having water in my nose but it was the thing to do and I did it.  Nose stopped ble4ding and I learned a lesson which I am sharing with you.\n\nTasting it is even worse.  You might get poisoned.

Sure.  I do it occassionally.\n\nI have also heard religious people say "Holy S**T!" - but I assume that they don't mean it literally.\n\nA

Well yes God has emotions like all of us. Jesus laughed and was really humorous in his teachings.\nIt would not surprise me in the least if when i got to heaven Jesus was drinking a beer just hanging out and telling jokes!\n\nP.S. people try to say that wine in ancient times wasn't alchol but more like grape juice. this is wrong. wine in ancient times was alchol and very strong.  It is not a sin to drink alchol but it is to get drunk.\nold wine was contaminated wine. new wine was not. this is why they never mixed it!

It is generally accepted that once made you should drink it. It will not go bad as far as taste and health is concerned but it will loose it potency over a relatively short period of time once mixed.

Because thats what they drank.  Jesus himself turned water into wine.  Its what they drank.  It could be consumed without being piss drunk.  Times today were different then.

No, Midge.  Salt has always been seen as a "purifying" agent.  Salt is first made holy by blessing (called the "Exorcism of Salt") first....then it is added to the water with the invocation "In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost."\n\nI've made gallons of Holy water...and nowhere in the rubrics is/are Jesus "tears" mentioned.\n\nGood guess though.  Don't teach it to the kids at catechism, though....it's not exactly true!!  ;-)

HIJKLMNO dehydrated water

Ummmm.....the second question i cant help u with & i hope not to EVER be able to help  with. All i can say is u would need to be extremely cautious with that. Now the 1st question, the answer is no. Why would women from overseas taste any differently just because of the region?? Taste varies on levels of cleanliness, alcohol intake, food intake, if they are on any medicaton, etc.

Wow, that's a mighty fine bunch of babbling.  Might I ask a quick question?  WHAT IN GOD'S HOLY NAME ARE YOU BLATHERING ABOUT?!?!?\n\nYou can go ahead and call it Mormon Tea, and so what if you do?  Yes, I know what it is, and no, I can't say that I've ever seen any of the hundreds of Mormons I've known ever drinking it.  So here's a quick news flash for you: in every religion, you will find disparity between what the religion asks of people and how people actually behave.  In Mormonism, it is regarded that ALL hot beverages--Mormon Tea, Earl Gray, herbal tea, you name it--are to be avoided.  The Word of Wisdom says in D&C 89:9 "And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly."  Hence, coffee, tea, hot cocoa, or even Postum is something regarded as a bad idea.  Some people in the LDS church have decided to regard this as having been orginally stated because the most prominent hot drinks--coffee and tea--have caffiene, and they've decided to regard this as an indirect prohibition of caffiene-loaded drinks, while thinking things like hot apple cider or hot cocoa or Postum are okay, while Jolt, Coke, and Red Bull, though not hot, are still to be avoided; but the specific text of the LDS doctrine does not agree with that assertion.\n\nBut more importantly, what's the big deal about Mormon Tea?  Yes, it has ephedra in it, but only a teensy tiny amount of it.  There aren't any ephedra junkies lurking in ally ways trying to prostitute themselves out for a bag of Mormon Tea.  And ephedra does have some good medicinal applications, especially for people with breathing issues.  So why are you getting all bent out of shape?\n\nPS: worry less about the eating and drinking habits of Mormons and maybe focus on your grammatical skills instead.\n\nCheers.

I like Tap water! We have very good tap water here and it is better and cheaper for you! It has fluoride in it already!(which is important for your teeth!)
