Bible Note: Dishonesty? Who is REALLY being dishonest here, Joe? I clearly stated to this forum (which you either ignored or did not bother to read) that I quoted only those portions dealing with the statement "husband of one wife" (which were more TECHNICAL in nature rather than mere opinion) since we are limited in the size of our postings here. What is so dishonest about that? I quoted that which pertained to my point. No, my friend, it is YOU who is perpetrating the fraud against me with false accusation. The handle you acquired for yourself appears to be quite fitting.....you appear to "reform" even what people have said. (Sorry, but I could not leave than one be.) Joe, I mentioned the strict, Biblical definition of adultery in relation to marriage, not morality in general. Again, I must set the record AND technical information straight with you, Joe. Here is what the Thayer's lexicon says about that word: Strongs reference 3431 for Adultery (moicheuo) to commit adultery a) to be an adulterer b) to commit adultery with, to have unlawful intercourse with ANOTHER'S WIFE c) used of the WIFE: to suffer adultery, to be debauched d) A Hebrew idiom, the word is used of those who at a woman's solicitation are drawn away to idolatry, that is, to the eating of things sacrificed to idols (Emphasis is mine) Now, did you know about the Hebrew idiom of a woman enticing a man to eat things sacrificed to idols being a form of not only idolatry, but also ADULTERY? May I ask a personal favor of you, Joe? Please do your homework before trying to make a fool of others. This really reflects badly upon your knowledge and your character. I do not consider you to be a bad person, but I think you are allowing yourself to fall into a form of blind zealotry that I find to be dangerous for yourself to say the least. Now, if I have made a typo error somewhere in this posting, I hope you will not crucify me for that as well. In Christ Jesus Don |
