And NO THANKS to your snide remarks.
prefer to teach my children morals by fairy tales rather than by the horrors taught in the bible. To each his own!
Joshua xv. 16-17:
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
17 And Othniel the brother of Caleb [and consequently the girl's uncle] took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
Please to remember that the said Caleb was one of God's intimates -- a favorite with the Almighty. The girl was not consulted; the father paid off his warriors in female scrip. The next is Gen. xix. 5-8
5 And they called unto Lot, and said unto him, Where are the men which came in to thee this night? bring them out unto us that we may know them.
6 And Lot went out at the door unto them, and shut the door after him.
7 And said, I pray you, brethren, do not so wickedly.
8 Behold now, I have two daughters * * * * let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes; only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof.
This is something I do not want my daughter to grow up fearing. But Lot was a favorite of God according to "THE BIBLE." I will be glad to quote scripture with you any day since it is your source for truth and right living. |
