lol The customs of the Hebrews / Israelites are interesting....look into that if you are interested.

Some had that concern, others didn't. Boaz wasn't so bothered that Ruth wasn't a virgin. It wasn't even his duty to marry her, but he did. The man who declined to marry her gave a flimsy excuse that she was from the tribe of Moab. The rule against marrying someone from Moab was only about Jewish...

Oh, here we go.....did the prophets of the Old Testament think they were Gods. Lusts....you would not believe what kind of topic that is in the ancient world. One man, five wives, one tent...who-ra! Good men want love. And grandchildren to spoil so they will drive their parents nuts.

Oh come on Prayer Warrior, no one here thinks they are God. lol

That is why I like talking to you...your smart. What does your average person do when they look back at history. If they do not like it they try to deny it or explain it away. Or they look back at the past and see ignorance or cruelty. Slavery it a good example, most can relate to this topic...

I think that most of this is right. It is a cultural thing that the Jews of today still know. But clinical virginity is not exactly what they understood completely. How do you think they tested the captured women for virginity, sometime thousands. The custom was for the mother to gather the...

The Laws were written in a time period that were harsh. Slaves were common even in Christ's period. A father selling his daughter as a slave or concubine did occur in the Old Testament. This as with many things the Israelite did, these practices spans several cultures. My point is, this is a Law...

In Hebrews 8:8-10, the Old covenant law is said to be a part of the New Covenant, written on the hearts of believers. So of the Laws that are written in your heart....which ones are you going to observe...try killing a woman that does not bleed on her wedding night and see what it get'cha. I...

That is not what Christ said. "Moses permitted you" The Israelites were told the Laws came from God. I disagree with the explanation that I have heard many times, that the Laws were written in accordance to the evilness of the people. So the Laws were written to be evil. I disagree with that.

I naps. Think in my sleep. But good to talk with you.

Oh ya, I read your posts. Have you read my posts....you seem to be asking the same questions I have addressed. We agree with Paul.

West's standards! How about right and wrong. As I said the Israelites were not the only ones with cruel and unfair practices. You do not believe in modern revelation? Even though Paul said that there was no difference between male and female...that did not happen. But I look forward to a...

Ministry of death did come with glory, so how much more the ministry of salvation and love will be more glorious!

Reality is always a good thing. Good or bad by Christian standards, not so good. But historians have to put things in perspective. The Hebrews had a different God than those around them, but their society and rules were similar. Women were property in most of those societies, and treated as...

I don't pretend to understand all that is in the law, but I refuse to judge God's law as you have. I do not have to judge the Mosaic Law...all I have to do is copy and paste.

You know, it sounds like you think that your goodness and righteousness exceeds God's! Like you would never have instituted these laws if you were God! Not even a small chance. I will leave it at that.

The truth will get you in trouble. And although the Mosaic Law was what it was. That is how I look at it. People reading this can get the impression that I do not like the Jews or we should get rid of the Old Testament. To the contrary, I love the Jews and you cannot really understand the New...

That ministry of death. Do you really want me to quote the scriptures?

Good!!! Good!!! again Politically correct standards! You have to be kidding me..... Women were property. Fathers sold their daughter into slavery. Kill all that breaths and don't forget the babies, but you can save the virgins for yourselves. If a woman does not bleed on her wedding, you can...
