Sorry, still reading this, and can’t quite understand that whole “put away my wife” thing. Does this mean I can’t have another wife, or is this merely saying I can’t have a mistress?

Because mistress could be kind of cool, have a nooner over the lunch break and such and pay for an apartment and such.

A second wife? Comes with a second mother-in-law, and if all is not kept in balance a second house.

Which, yeah, maybe Brigham Young thought it a good idea but he had something like 27 wives. I dare say he didn’t have half the trouble with them I’ve had with the one of mine.

Not to mention the mother-in-law.

Les McFall has an interesting way to deal with the exception clause in Matthew 19:9. He has written a 43 page paper that reviews the changes in the Greek made by Erasmus that effect the way Matthew 19:9 has been translated. I reviewed McFall's paper at Except For Fornication Clause of Matthew 19:9. I would love to hear some feedback on this position.

Oh, I think it’s just useful to let the crazies across the threshold from time to time. Makes the rest of us feel saner.

And we could all use a bit of that.

Lex — you gotta’ tighten up that “requires moderation” filter, lad.

Rev. Dr. Chapomatic — ahhhh, Springbank. Ahhh, Campbeltown. Ahhh, RAF Macrahanish. Ahhh, first hole at the Macrahanish golf club.

I don’t think Macallan drinkers would like Springbank. That sherry cask aging produces too mellow a taste to move quickly to a something, I think, closer to Glenlivet with a punch. Then there is the Talisker…..

In the interests of greater understanding of the above-mentioned texts, I would like to note [as you already know] that adultery and fornication are not the same thing. Adultery is, according to dictionary definition, a married person having intercourse with a person he or she is not married to. Intercourse, on the other hand, is two persons having sexual relations with each other, neither of whom is married to the other. It is not made clear whether this latter activity is a Sin, and why, at least I could never quite figure out from my early Bible studies why this was such a Big Time sin, if the two persons involved in this charming activity were both single. And fond of each other.

I still can’t.

Obviously, there are a lot of people in our world who must agree with me.

Marianne, who has fond memories…

Thanks to the Johnstown Chapter of the Ministry for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice for that educational trip back through the Old Testament, sprinkled with a bit of Matthew just to catch us up to two millenia gone.
