I found this Scripture to be true:
”Drink water from your own cistern, And running water from your own well. Should your fountains be dispersed abroad, Streams of water in the streets? Let them be only your own, And not for strangers with you. Let your fountain be blessed, And rejoice with the...
Appreciate your post. But does not answer my post 646. We need to show a structure that is in rural setting, is opened and closed with stone, used for water for animals. Definitions do not help. We need to show such structure in Israel.
These ones aren't even in the region mentioned in Genesis, either, I just put them up as an example.
You can find the text with the Hebrew-English here:

And now back to Proverbs5:15-20 which uses the exact language of the discussion between Jesus and Photini (as if the author could have belaboured the point any more that there is a clear sexual subtext to all of this!)
Read...
As @Rival noted this is not 'speculation' but rather informed by the narrative construct, type-scene, literary motifs and linguistics of the texts in question.
The original reader of the Fourth Gospel would have been prepared by the betrothal type-scene and narrative framework (which the...
One guy put it like this...
Drink water from your own cistern And flowing water from your own well. Should your springs be dispersed outside, Your streams of water in the public squares? Let them be for you alone, And not for strangers with you. May your own fountain be blessed, And may you...
I'm talking about natural sexual attraction. Not hypotheses regarding evolutionary ideas.
For the final time...
We know Adam and Eve were straight.
According to the Bible, God created them that way.
(Genesis 1:27, 28) And God went on to create the man in his image, in God’s image he created...
Sex is defined as whats off limits. Plants reproducing isnt sexual. Lesbianism doesnt involve eggs. Just because men and women biologically and physiologically complement each other doesn't mean all relationships that have men and women are okay.
Proverbs5:15-20 - GNTA - Be faithful to your own wife and give your love...
This doesn't talk about the nature of attraction (hormones etc). It talks about the relationship not sexuality between husband and wife in regards to how they take care of their children. We can only assume who...
Genetic attraction, or biological attraction are hypotheses, and pseudoscience, and unverifiable respectively.
The bible does mention sexual attraction.
(Proverbs5:15-20 ; Song of Solomon 1:1-8:14)
From the Bible we know that Adam and Eve were straight.
(Genesis 4:1) . . .Now Adam had sexual...
Hey, it's the Bible that keeps bringing up sex.
2 Corinthians 12:21
21 I am afraid that when I come again my God will humble me before you, and I will be grieved over many who have sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery in which they have...
I just remembered this...
Proverbs5:15-20
15 Drink water out of your own cistern, and tricklings out of the midst of your own well. 16 Should your springs be scattered out of doors, [your] streams of water in the public squares themselves? 17 Let them prove to be for you alone, and not for...
There are some fantastic proverbs, that can help any relationship; like Proverbs 15:1;
Proverbs 1:5;
Proverbs5:15-19 (enjoy your wife only, and no others);
Proverbs 6:26-35 (especially starting w/ vs.29; notice the last part, about a husband's anger);
Proverbs 10:19;
Proverbs 12:4 (it goes...
My spiritual journey has not changed my view on sexuality very much, but it has changed a little, and it changed my life... for the better, I think.
I guess with the little understanding I had growing up, I believed in the old values on sexuality. In fact I didn't know much about any other...
Yup.
Drink water from the well that belongs to you only - yours.
(Proverbs5:15-21) . . .Drink water out of your own cistern, and tricklings out of the midst of your own well. 16 Should your springs be scattered out of doors, [your] streams of water in the public squares themselves? 17 Let them...
At times church teachings are from satan. The ones who teach such things may be damned.
The Bible by scripture shows that sex for enjoyment is the will of God:
Proverbs 5:
15 Drink waters out of thine own cistern, And running waters out of thine own well. 16 Should thy springs be dispersed...
God made male and female, instituted Marriage b
If to what you say is correct, That Adam may have been alone for 40 to 50 years, before God created Eve.
How many times during that time before Eve, that Adam pass by the tree of knowledge of good and evil?
Being tempted?
It was not Adam...
Obviously you've got your own little scenario going for yourself. Can't argue with your imagination of course, but can say, it's hardly convincing.
Yup, but not before informing the reader that "It is good for a man not to have sexual relations with a woman.” An unqualified statement.
.
He (Paul) probably plays for the other team. :)
Now if only God would insist on quality, not quantity.
Which is objectively silly, as God can make people out of dirt, supposedly.
Indeed. There's more to life than Paul and his projected issues. :)
Yes, let's doom her to a lifetime of...
