3092. 'And gave him a drink' means introduction. This is clear from the meaning of 'to drink' (potare), an expression meaning almost the same as 'to drink' (bibere). 'To drink' (potare) here however entails a more active role on the part of the one who drinks. 'To drink' (bibere) means to receive, and also to be joined to, see 3069, 3089, so that 'giving a drink to' (facere potare) means imparting the ability to receive, which is the initial stage of the introduction.

Title: The Loving Jehovah and the Angry Jesus

Topic: Word/Trinity

Summary: We examined the longstanding Christian myth that Jehovah is angry and judgmental but Jesus is loving, meek, and mild. Actually Jehovah is loving and Jesus does plenty of rebuking and name-calling. The ultimate conclusion is that Jesus and Jehovah are One, and God is love, not anger.
