Bible Question:
Where in the bible states inreferences to a woman being a vigin before marriage. In the Old Testament I think, tells how the people knew if she was a virgin or not by gathering the sheet or whatever and see if blood is present after the marriage to determine if she was a virgin or not. Where in the bible does it says that? I think its in the old testament. |
Bible Answer: (Deuteronomy 22:14-17) And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid:(Deut 22:15) Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel's virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: (Deut 22:16) And the damsel's father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; (Deut 22:17) And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her, saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. SPECIAL NOTE: in todays culture with all the Sex protrayed on TV, in Songs, in Videos and Movies, it takes a Committed Parnet[s] to keep a woman a vigin for her future husband. The mother is the primary keeper of that treasure, as she has to portray that Holiness of 1Peter 3:1-6. As a girl sees it modled by 'her mother' and she has a relationship with Christ, she will keep herself "pure and chaste' for her future husband! Thank you! |
