No he isn't joking. Its a bible quote. I think you should read it in addition the bible teaches that a father may sell his daughter for a slave, [Ex. xxi. 7.] that he may sacrifice her purity to a mob, [Judges xix. 24.] and that he may murder her, and still be a good father and a holy
man. It teaches that a man may have any number of wives; that he may sell them, give them away, or change them around, and still be a perfect gentleman, a good husband, a righteous man, and one of God's most intimate friends; and that is a pretty good position for a beginning.
And here refer to the 31st chapter of Numbers, but it is unfit to read. It tolls a story of shame and crime
unequalled in atrocity. It tells that God commanded Moses and Eleazar, the priest, to produce vice and perpetrate crime on an unparalleled scale. It tells us that they obeyed the order, and that 16,000 helpless girls were dragged in the mire of infamy and divided amongst the victorious soldiers. They were made dissolute by fore, and by direct command of God!
For a lighter side of the bible God and the Devil enjoy playing games pitting their wits. Read the book of Job to see how God outsmarted the devil. Pay no attention to the suffering of Job. He was just a pawn in the game. |
