Wow!
I just wonder how the arrogant women church libbers of today [and their
male
counterparts] would have handled the situations above, they finding
themselves as women living in the days of the strict Mosaic Laws of God.

Jeff...

Thank you for again cheering me up Jeff, your posts are always a
tonic.
Yes, it's a wonderful thing that back in the Bronze Age, when in
Britain there was still human sacrifice and Stonehenge was the latest
in places of worship, the Mosaic law showed concern for the welfare of
slave girls.
There are layers of truth in the Bible, a word for the time they were
written for and a progressive revelation of the nature of God for
today.

Well, although God's laws of slavery have been ajusted a little for the
Christen era, nothing would be more natural for the nation God chose as his
own in complying with all the varies punishments for their misbehaviour.

And wouldn't they work very well today, in curbing the obsessive sexual
appetites of the second marriage adulterers and hetro and homo fornicators,
now plaguing the churches?
Millions would now have been stoned to death for their faithlessness.

I trust that you are not yearning for a return to the second
millennium BC ?

On Christ's Return the laws will just as strict......
"To everyone who overcomes--who to the very end keeps on doing things that
please me--I will give power over the nations. 27 You will rule them with a
rod of iron just as my Father gave me the authority to rule them; they will
be shattered like a pot of clay that is broken into tiny pieces. 28 And I
will give you the Morning Star!
29 "Let all who can hear listen to what the Spirit says to the
churches."
Rev 2:26-29 (TLB)

When you've repaired your Tardis and can escape the 1st C. give the
21st a try.

No! it's a most wicked century of idol worship, vice, corruption, flaunted
and aggressive immorality and is ready and overflowing for Christ's
righteous judgment, and God's promised vengeance on the wicked populations
of the earth.

Jeff...
"6 Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them
that trouble you; 7 And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord
Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, 8 In flaming
fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the
gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: 9 Who shall be punished with everlasting
destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in
all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that
day."
2 Thess 1:6-10 (KJV)
