Water into wine is a metaphor of the Eucharistic wedding banquet at Pentecost central to the gospel.

[@SueinNJ520]

That does not make sense. There is no Eucharistic wedding banquet at Pentecost. Your mixing up when the Holy Spirit was given to the Jewish believers at Pentecost with the Second Coming of Christ in Revelation 19:7-10. You need to study the scriptures which are the Word of God and not go by the man made doctrines/beliefs you are told to believe by your religion. You will have to answer to God for yourself on the day of judgement, not your church or priest answer for you. Everyone is accountable for themselves. So study the Word of God for yourself rightly divided.

@@SueinNJ520 1 Corinthians 15:11 "Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." One word "WE" destroys the Mid-Acts Dispensationalist position, which asserts that the gospel preached by Paul was distinct from that preached by Peter and the other apostles. Mid-Acts Dispensationalists believe that Peter and the apostles preached a "gospel of the kingdom" to Israel, while Paul preached a "gospel of grace" to the Gentiles, suggesting two separate messages. However, 1 Corinthians 15:11 provides a clear statement of unity in the preaching of both Paul and the other apostles, implying that they proclaimed the same gospel. Mid-Acts Dispensationalists argue that Paul’s gospel (often termed "the gospel of the grace of God") is distinct from the gospel Peter and the others preached. They suggest that Peter’s gospel focused on the kingdom for Israel, while Paul’s message was about grace and justification by faith for the Gentiles. However, 1 Corinthians 15:11 directly challenges this view: Paul states that both he and the other apostles preached the same gospel, which resulted in the faith of the Corinthians. This clearly implies a shared message rather than two separate or distinct gospels. If Paul and Peter were preaching different gospels, it would be odd for Paul to conclude his argument by saying "whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed." The use of "we" unites Paul with the other apostles in the act of preaching the same gospel.

Interpretation: "our Lord turned work into inheritance"
