Bible Note: Searcher, That's fine if you're done with this thread. I believe that I've asked a number of valid questions and that you've been unable to answer them. That's fine. We don't all have the answers. I feel that a lot of what you've just said here is completely unfounded, but it seems that you're bowing out of this discussion. It seems to me that you did little more than ask me to back up my views, after failing to back up yours. Again, that's fine. If you decide to validate the context of the scriptures that you've offered in the future, I will be open to discuss them. Please remember that context is very important, and it falls far short to simply throw a verse or two at someone and tell them that they're wrong, and then stomp off angry, if they don't immediately see it your way. And as per your parting comment regarding Genesis chapter 2: The Law of Moses did not come into effect until God gave Moses the Ten Commandments on the mountain. Likewise, the events in Genesis did not occur under the Law of Moses (although there were other law jursidictions that came about several chapters later). The book of Genesis was not considered to be part of the legal Torah, until centuries after the events in Genesis had occured. Have a good day. :) - Genesis 2 24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.
