1 | What about the woman at the well in Jn 4 | John 4:18 | TommyS | 110026 | ||
What makes people say that the woman at the well in John 4 was "immoral?" I've heard the argument that because she went to the well alone means people wouldn't associate with her which means she was immoral. In any country I've been in where the woman have to go to the public water supply, they go all hours of the day - alone, together, young or old, they went WHEN they needed water. Rebecca went alone to the well in Gen 24, and she wasn't immoral. And, I've heard preachers claim that the woman kept trying to change the subject yet reading that section - she is the one which brought up "prophet" "worship" "the messiah". Am I missing something that should be obvious? |

2 | What about the woman at the well in Jn 4 | John 4:18 | KCPRAYS | 110027 | ||
She had not only had 5 husbands, ( who knows, perhaps some died but seems like she has been divorced) but she was also living with a man who was not her husband. Further, it was considered improper by the Jews for a rabbi to speak to a woman in public, whether she was immoral or not | ||||||
3 | What about the woman at the well in Jn 4 | John 4:18 | TommyS | 110030 | ||
Thank you, KCPRAYS, for attempting to answer my question. You added, "Further, it was considered improper by the Jews for a rabbi to speak to a woman in public, whether she was immoral or not", YET it was Jesus who first spoke to her in asking her for a drink. The reason I asked this is because I noted that as soon as she returned to town to get others to come see if the messiah was at the well, and how quickly they believed her, led me to believe the town folk MUST have "trusted" her to be a "truthful" woman. I never heard of a "truthful" immoral person. I was only wondering if anyone else "felt" the same way. TommyS |
