Well you are right. Matthew 1:24-25 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus. Luke 2:4-5 Now Joseph also went up from Galilee...

No I have the Law dead on. It really does not matter if it was monogamous marriages or polygamy or concubinage, the Law regulated all of that. God did not say that the Mosaic Law was to regulate sinful practices. In the OT Yahweh was not shy about pointing out what was sinful. Sinful practices...

Well I am not going to say that the Mosaic Law was defined by men. Was it part of God's plan for the Israelites to increase in numbers and dominate the world? Was polygamy and concubinage part of that plan? Accelerated reproduction. One of Yahweh's reoccurring promises was that their descendants...

Maybe the reason that the Protestant churches fractured into a thousand of pieces and could never figure out the Bible is because it was founded in hate. That is a maybe. But hatred is never a good spirit to formulate your beliefs.

The point is that after the biblical era Christianity has been given beliefs that are of a higher morality. The NT speaks of women not talking in church....not asserting authority over men....that men are the head over women....washing the feet of people....the Apostles were still addressing...

Things we learnt that were not good. All this stuff in the Mosaic Law was God ordained. The Mosaic Law is not a list of unapproved behavior or practices. Old Testament marriage arrangements continued in Christianity for over a millennium. The whole explaination of a man is head over a woman is a...

Slavery is not a job seeker's choice. Slaves were bought and are property. Just like they were in early America. There is no upside to slavery. The Mosaic Law clearly institutes the death penalty for beating a free man to death; in contrast, beating a slave to death was to be avenged only if...

Very aware of this. Jewish Studies at American University and Hebrew University in Jerusalem. For a funny! Look at the wedding processes that Christ talked about in his stories--parables and then find those processes in the Mosaic Law or Old Testament stories. Then I will tell you why you...

The Mosaic Law gave the woman no choice.....even in marriage....the woman was bought or bargained for. Women were required to marry within their own tribe. A father was required to give a virgin daughter....if not her new husband could kill her....damaged goods...property.

No I am talking about concubinage. Mosaic Laws regarding concubinage Exodus 21:7:11 Leviticus 19:20-22 Mosaic Laws regarding captured virgins Deuteronomy 21:10-14 --- No such thing as a captured non-virgin because they were killed. Probably no reason for God to command someone to have...

If it makes you feel better~~~but it does not hold water. You can go right down the list of why it does not hold water.... But it is just enough to say that God had to have a reason for the cruelty of the Mosaic Law.

The Catholics are painfully aware of it. They are well past denial. The sad thing is that any good they did is lost in the memory of evil.

Well, besides the dry humor....it has a point. Keep in mind your mom is / was a female.....a human too. Fundamentalists are not usually historians. Which means more or less going back to the Bible...scriptures....written in a different time period. But not knowing what is going on in that time...

Ya they were messed up.

The feminist movement is not from God...and is not biblical. The abolishment of slavery, is not from God....and is not biblical. The abolishment of polygamy, is not from God....and is not biblical. The abolishment of sex slavery, is not from God....and is not biblical. The custom of wedding...

Ya, another one of those things..... Women, wives and daughters were required to wash feet....family and guests....back then it was feet....now its washers and dryers and vacuuming and dinner and dinner dishes. Good thing they know their place....Ahhh! No shoes....bare feet or sandals equals...

I think that is what they were defining.... Washing people's feet I think is pushing it.

That is the definition of Homosexuality... Not the biblical definition of a sinful act. For example alcoholism...an alcoholic is always an alcoholic whether they drink or not. A kleptomaniac is a kleptomaniac whether they steal or not.

That would be correct....

Exactly It is nothing new. In the biblical era homosexualality and effeminate things were normal. The Jews killed them in accordance with the Mosaic Law. Today they can take medication to stop the sex drives...or castration. Castration....Christ's advise....pluck out your eye or cut your hand...
