1 | Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? | John 8:41 | Searcher56 | 229314 | ||
God's day to you, biblicalman, Unless you can prove what you said based on the Torah about betrothed/engaged, you have no standing. The Mishnah is Pharisaic oral tradition and is not valid. I even proved that you forgot about the '3 year old'. When you excluded that - I am concerned. That point is important. Without it, one could think he was talking about someone who could produce children. If you reread the Scripture I cited, you'll see that betrothal sex did not happen, evn could imply it was forbidden. Your weakness is that you refuse to listen/read. As with the generations, I will not waste any more time with you an this matter. You may continue, if you wish, but as with the generations, I will not answer. Searcher |

2 | Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? | John 8:41 | biblicalman | 229322 | ||
Searcher, Unless you can provide proof from the Torah and the Prophets that sexual relations between betrothed couple were forbidden your position also has no standing. I have at least demonstrated the probability that it was allowable. Of course the Mishnah is valid as evidence of what the Jews believed, which is the point at issue. We are not arguing about what the Scriptural teaching is. There was no Scriptural teaching on the subject. I find it interesting how people who like to call the Bible the word of God are quite happy to add in things and pretend that they too are the word of God just because it is what they think. I did not 'forget' about the three year and a day old (lol you forgot the day, so whwere do you stand?). I just thought it would raise unnecessary complications and upset some members of the forum. It was unnecessary to the argument. The statement was that women from that age upwards could become betrothed by sexual relations There is nothing in what you wrote that implied sex between betrothed persons was forbidden. But I am quite happy for you not to reply. I think the subject is best left alone. Where Scripture is silent each can form his own views. best wishes |
