Subject: Defending themselves or accusing Jesus? |
Bible Note: Just me. I'm afraid what you say about the Quran destroys your case. I gave no incorrect information concerning the Quran. If I did not see your post I am sorry. But if a lot is posted then things tend to be disappear rather quickly. Had you drawn it to my attention I would have looked at it. If you will look back you will discover that what I suggested you consult a Bible Dictionary about is NOT what is now under discussion. Bible Dictionaries tend to concentrate on the standard official view, not the view of the common people. All that I said was getting out of hand was wasting a lot of time and space arguing about a subject of minor importance. Especially as the arguing very often reveals that the person arguing has not really read my posts. What I have said is accurate, And I have substantiated it from Scripture. Nor have I made a mistake. If I had a large theological library available as I once had I could soon trace my sources. But it is hardly a subject that I have kept records of. I did in fact find information on the internet which confirmed my position but did not consider the matter important enough to take the matter further. In fact if you think about it the fact that the Nazarenes who tried to pick holes in Jesus never brought the subject up, even though they would have known the facts, confirms that my view of things is correct. Sexual relations within betrothal were tolerated. Had they not been the Nazarenes would have seized on it to discredit Jesus. To a lesser extent (for they may not have known the facts) the same is true of the Pharisees. I am not prepared to retract a statement which I am confident is right. Best wishes. |
