    Rebel8: That's a confusing scripture, what the hell can you eat.

    WTwizard: So true "THE LIE-BLE provides masterful fiction",

    MP:"how would they know". True, that's something you don't

    tell everyone. I think about the Midianites"keep alive the young

    girls who have not known a man intimately". How do they

    know who's a virgin. I,m sure every woman without kids became

    a virgin that day, especially when they saw what happen to women

    that knew men intimately.

    Narcissistic; "A bad acid trip" or he was raised a JW and hated

    the world.

    Julla:I forgot, they didn't wear pants, so it would have been

    easy to check.LOL

    Scripture I believe. There was something about Israelite priests having to wear underwear.

    mP:

    I would suggest that you read about the monumental struggle where the many jewish groups (Rome woudl call them terrorists) were trying to break away from Rome. They literally were killing their own countrymen or non jews. The jewish religion is unfortunately very much based on racism and separatism. The OT contains many directions to wipe out non jews and rarely talks about integration. The jews also believed that God would give them victory so they fought, and they lost. This is why Rome had to destroy jerusalem, because the religion was a poison in the much the same way Islam in many places is the primary motivating factory in their madness. Lucky for us they are over there, but in the times of Rome the empire was nt that lucky.

    Everything John and Jesus mentions and refers to was about the struggle just before and after 70ad.

    Rome had to ban jews from Jerusalem and judea. They also changed the name of Judea to Palestine as anothe punishment. I put it to you jesus was another creation to tell the jews to wait for the kingdom in heaven and be good slaves and tax payers to Rome.

    As a survivor John was angry that his jewish world and the jewish god had abandoned them, with many jews killed in their struggle. He writes what happened, and extra stuff which he dreams did happen, but didnt.

    mP: Yes I understood you." I was referring to the account in Numbers

    31, where virgins was spared. The same as the testicles testing in the

    temple and the testing of women (virgins) in Moses day.

    jam:

    The reason the virgins were spared was because they were virgins. Men back then wanted virgins and not used women just to be sure the child she gave them was really theirs. Its that simple.

    jam:

    So who exactly did this ball testing ? That would have made quite a queue at the entrance. Who would want to be a priest or assistant if your main job was ball checking all day long. ???
