BIBLICAL CONTENT WARNING
Not sure theres a whole ton more to say Bonnie, if you feel Paul can refer to the 'one flesh' joining of Adam and Eve in the same sentence as reference to another joining, but somehow its not the same sort of joining...?
I'll have to take that as a vote that Paul was deceiving his Corinthian readers, for what purpose I cant imagine.
So by what mechanism WAS Adam and Eve joined if it wasnt a result of their cleaving? AND its an act of God not man ? ? ? I'm stumped.
Consider the possible symbology of the hymen: (Dont read this if you are squeamish about blood):
"There are a few explicit similarities between sex with a virgin female and the sacrifice in the covenant-making process: (1) there is [generally] blood shed; (2) there is the passing through by the covenantor into the midst of the divided sacrifice." (Paraphrase from ©1999 "The Ceremony for the Sacrifice of Marriage" by K. Tinning and F. Horst)
(See Jeremiah 34:18 and Genesis 15:10, 17, 18)
Do you honestly think God doesnt care as much about the child of a whore to call the parents to the same accountability as he does someone that spends $40,
000 and six months preparing for a party to announce it?
I think his Word would show it, and does.
But these hypothizations are worthless. If the dozen or so translations, that translated Pauls statement almost identically to the word, cant be trusted to hear Paul, why would anyone believe me? Peace. Ive done my part here already.
As long as a teen feels that sex is "just sex", then abortion will be "just abortion", and fetus # 2.5 will just be "average", and boyfriend #20 will be "my God given right", and your North American Polygamy bashing can continue because "our babies are just illegitimate, and the polygamists babies are pure sin."
We need a flaming mountain, frankly, and Im seriously thinking the latitude, longitude, vector and velocity are becoming clear. Im pricing my pyrex for a telescope, so I can at least offer early warning before the supermarkets get empty, since scripture isnt persuasive enuf.
Then you'll have some peace for a few months. Find out what long underwear is if you dont know, eh?
Have at gang. Im all ears.
