1 | Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? | John 8:41 | biblicalman | 229289 | ||
Hi Tim, Well we can agree to differ :-)) As I pointed out the high sticklers took your view, (except that the period was not necessarily 12 months, it was agreed by the families), but the general consensus was that sexual relations during betrothal were permissible. Thus Mary would not have been frowned on by her Galilean friends, nor by the majority. It is doubtful therefore whether the Pharisees would have made a fuss about such a thing. You must not judge Jesus' day by later Rabbinic rules. Best wishes |

2 | Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? | John 8:41 | justme | 229293 | ||
biblicalman: I am wanting to find a sorce for where you found "but the general consensus was that sexual relations during betrothal were permissible." I have looked in one of the best known sources, The Interpeter's Dictionary of The Bible. There is no mention of sexual relations before the couple lives together as Man and wife. I think it would be important should I ever repeat your information, if you could share with me, please. I don't doubt you, but if you could give a source, I would appreciate it. Blessings. justme |
