I dont own a bible, so I cant look them up.

Leviticus 18:19
"'Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period."

The_Germans_are_coming thinks it says :
"even LOOKING at a menstruating woman is wrong."

Come on TGC. If you dont own a bible how can you know what those verses you posted actually say?

Try this.

If it is a dishonest source, I`ll accept that. Can you give me a link to a free online bible where I can look this up?
Just to be certain what Leviticus 18:19, says.

It isn't necessarily dishonest, but I always look up the verses on a bible website to double check (exact wording differs by translation).

Leviticus 18:19

New International Version (NIV)


19 “‘Do not approach a woman to have sexual relations during the uncleanness of her monthly period.

Oh...they should have cited the translation. They were probably using KJV, which has some issues with accuracy. I'll check.

Leviticus 18:19

King James Version (KJV)


19 Also thou shalt not approach unto a woman to uncover her nakedness, as long as she is put apart for her uncleanness.

Quote:19“You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.

source: http://esv.scripturetext.com/leviticus/18.htm

Your quote says: one shouldnt approach for sexual reasons.
The various different versions and translations out there to vary alot, and I guess the older the version becomes the more sexist the interpertations become.

It means somebody has to make us men a fucking sandwich. I think that best describes Genesis 2:18 in the modern tongue. I was also willing to go with doing our laundry.

The author of that webpage needs to use a Bible more suitable to the English language and not the ERV.

Genesis makes clear that man and woman ought to be as one. (Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh. Genesis 2:23. United together as one flesh. Genesis 2:24)

Unbiblical ''inferiority'' connotations arise from Hellenistic/Greek culture which began to influence Jewish rabbinical/political teaching much later. (Talmud)

Bull - fucking - shit!!!! Care to educate the masses as to why you went from Genesis 2:18 to 2:23? Probably not since you found it convenient to skip them in the first place. Allow me the privilege:

2:18 - God recognizes that Adam is lonely so he promises him a help meet.

2:19 - God doesn't create Eve, his all knowing ass creates the beasts of the field and fowls of the air and allows Adam to give them names.

2:20 - After continuing to name everything Adam still doesn't see anything he likes.

2:21 - This is where God nicks a rib, although it says he closed the would. Why the creator of the universe can't take a rib without opening the flesh is beyond me, but at least the fucker sewed it up.

2:22 - Poof, Eve.

Let's put this in perspective. God recognizes Adam's lonliness (perceptive genius, knowing that Adam is the 'only' fucker on Earth). The cunt then tempts him with beasts of the field and fowl of the air for a help meet (your book, not mine). To Adam's credit he says, "Fuck Off", even though he took the time to name everything and was likely convincing a sheep to look at the view from the cliff.

Lion IRC, you can take your original Hebrew and shove it up your ass. Your fucking book clearly states that, regardless of the original definition, your god tempted Adam with all other land dwelling vertebrates and meant them to be a help meet before creating a woman as a help meet.

Purely for information, this from one of my favourite online resources:

Quote:helpmeet
as two words in the 1611 Bible, a noun-verb phrase; hyphenated and mistaken as a modified noun by 1670s; see helpmate.

---

helpmate
"companion," 1715, altered from helpmeet, a ghost word, from the Biblical translation of L. adjutorium simile sibi [Gen. ii.18] as "an help meet (i.e. fit) for him" (Heb. 'ezer keneghdo), which already by 1673 was being printed as help-meet and mistaken for one word.
