Aureum:1. What figure of speech? I love academic and sensible homo sapiens. Hope you no go fall my hand like this? Read the few lines below and take note of the ones in bold! Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:17-18 KJV 2. What does "women children" mean above? 3. What does "keep alive for yourselves" mean? No come for my head abeg, I just want to hear a suitable defence for bedding a girl under 9. I know say some of those girls no too small like that. Even bwess sef them get.We need to figure out what keeping women children alive for some warriors mean first? |

AntiChristian:This was what should have happened to them Numbers 31 14 And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle. 15 And Moses said unto them, HAVE YE SAVED ALL THE WOMEN ALIVE?? 16 Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord. |

Stop telling lies! You have nothing to gain with this falsehood! Numbers 31 started with the order from the Lord to Mosses to take vengeance on the Midianites! Then 12000 armed men was sent to war from the Israelites! The killed every male as the Lord commanded in Numbers 31:7. They captured the women and their children (boys and girls)! They plundered all their animals and goods! They burnt their city and houses! All the items was packed and moved to Moses and the Priest! When Moses saw them spared the women then he children both boys and girls, he was angry! Then we can now continue with the story from your text! StillDtruth:Then we can continue with mine! Moses said: Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him. But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves. Numbers 31:17-18 KJV |

AntiChristian:In worship of God, a 6 Yr old is a baby. We know that Allah considers a 6 Yr old to be an adult.🤪 Babies play with dolls, aisha was playing with a doll. |

Bubu4Sea:Show me verses where six year olds are babies in your Bible? In Numbers 31:1-18, six year old boys can be killed and six year old virgin girls can be spared for the warriors! You're simply a hypocrite! |

It's crucial to understand that the Bible contains diverse literary genres and reflects various historical contexts. The passage from Numbers 31 is part of a narrative describing ancient warfare practices, not a prescriptive text for all times and cultures. As Christians, we interpret Scripture within the living tradition of the Church, guided by the Magisterium, rather than taking isolated verses literally. From a historical perspective, ancient Near Eastern societies had very different norms regarding marriage and warfare than we do today. The practices described in Numbers 31 reflect the harsh realities of that time, not an eternal moral standard. As historians, we must be careful not to impose modern sensibilities on ancient texts without considering their original context. Psychologically, we recognize today the severe trauma that such practices would inflict on young girls. Our modern understanding of child development and the long-term effects of trauma informs our current ethical standards, which rightfully reject such practices. The Catholic Church today strongly condemns child marriage, sexual exploitation of minors, and violence against women and children. These positions are grounded in the Church's understanding of human dignity, informed by both faith and reason. The Catechism of the Catholic Church emphasizes the equal dignity of men and women (CCC 2334) and the importance of protecting children (CCC 2389). Jesus Christ, in his teachings, often challenged cultural practices of his time that were harmful to women and children. He called for a higher standard of ethics based on love and respect for all persons. As for why modern Christians reject practices described in some Old Testament passages, this reflects the development of moral understanding over time, guided by the Holy Spirit. The Church teaches that there is a progression in divine revelation, culminating in Jesus Christ, who gives us the fullest understanding of God's will for humanity. In addressing such difficult passages, we must always keep in mind the overarching message of God's love and the dignity of all persons. We are called to interpret Scripture in light of Christ's teaching and the Church's living tradition, always seeking to uphold the fundamental principles of human dignity and ethical treatment of all people, especially the vulnerable. It's also important to note that scholarly interpretations of this passage vary, and some argue that the text does not necessarily imply marriage or sexual slavery, but rather integration into Israelite society. But regardless of the exact interpretation, the Church's current teaching on the dignity of all persons, especially children, is clear and unequivocal. I would emphasize that our understanding of ethics and human rights has evolved significantly over time. We now have a much deeper appreciation for the psychological impact of trauma and the importance of protecting children's wellbeing. These advances in understanding, combined with the Church's ongoing reflection on Scripture and Tradition, inform our current moral teachings. Although we must grapple honestly with difficult passages in Scripture, as Christians we ultimately look to the fullness of revelation in Christ and the ongoing guidance of the Church to shape our moral understanding and behavior. |

AntiChristian:Good you see that Moses was angry and that everything was brought to Moses. And did i not tell you that Verse 26/27 answers you. Not a soul was taken or touched by God . 26 Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation: 27 And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation: |

| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by Bubu4Sea: 4:16pm On Sep 19, 2024 |
AntiChristian:God forbid, that. At least you have differentiated between Yahweh & allah. Nowhere in the bible do prophets marry babies. We follow Jesus whom is sinless. John 8:46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? John 14:30 Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in me. Hebrews 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. You follow a baby abusing mohammed. Hadith Bukhari (6:298) - Muhammad would take a bath with the little girl and handle her. DISGUSTING ![]() |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by AntiChristian(op): 4:58pm On Sep 19, 2024 |
Bubu4Sea:Stop telling lies and talk about Numbers 31:17-18. It was from Moses Mouth! We follow Jesus whom is sinless.Jesus was a man and all man have sinned! Romans 3:23-24 You follow a baby abusing mohammed.This is what is disgusting! So now, kill all the boys, as well as every woman who has had relations with a man, but spare for yourselves every girl who has never had relations with a man.… Numbers 31:17-18 and 16,000 virgin girls, of whom 32 were YAHWEH’S share. Numbers 31:40 NLT |

AntiChristian:See why i call you mad? How can you see that everything they got was shared between the soldiers and the congregation yet you are still looking for 32000?. Abeg Mad Muslim carry your madness go mosque. |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by AntiChristian(op): 12:17pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
StillDtruth:Madness is not being able to answer questions and answering your own questions! How old were the girls shared? How were they shared? How many did God get? What eventually happened the girls? |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by StillDtruth: 12:23pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
AntiChristian:A clear description of everything you have done. for no reasonable person asks about these stupid things but only a mad Muslim like you. |

AntiChristian:Show me anywhere in the passage that states you can have sex with the young girls. |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by AntiChristian(op): 12:36pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
SIRTee15:Was sex ever mentioned in the Bible directly? Anyways to answer your question! No, sex was not mentioned! What was mentioned was to spare the young girls for themselves! |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by AntiChristian(op): 12:37pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
StillDtruth:If you can't answer you keep mute! |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by SIRTee15: 12:57pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
AntiChristian:So to U what does that statement mean to U? Spare the young girls for yourselves....why do U take it to mean have sex with the girls. If the bible didn't say such why are pushing words into God's mouth...words he never said. |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by StillDtruth: 1:13pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
AntiChristian:My answers are already here including the fact that your question is unreasonable and Mad. |
| Re: Marrying Young Girls In The Bible! by AntiChristian(op): 2:56pm On Sep 20, 2024 |
SIRTee15:When the booties and animals was spared for the warriors what does it mean? It means they took possession of it, made use of it and also benefited from it. So how do they spared the girls for themselves? I remember Sarah, Leah and Rachel bringing their slaves for their husband to procreate when they couldn't procreate at that time! |
