And maybe because we lived a way so long it's hard to accept somethings? not that it's scripture.

Are we Christian or Jewish?

It never says, that I know of, I give then 10 wives as in he himself gave them. Am I making sense.

The children of Isreal came from 4 women by Jacob.
Judah thougth he was having an act with a prostitute yet it was his daughter-in-law but the linage came through her and him in this act.
In the law it gave directions for the 'hated & loved" wives and offspring.
Eye for and eye was allowed.
And the list goes on.
But in Isreal's times of consecration the jewelry came off.

I understand; scripture tells you not to cast your pearls before the pigs, the implication is that your wife should wear them!

I understand, but it doesn't say God gave them wives or prostitutes.

I even understand Rahab was a harlot and in the lineage of Jesus, I'm sure she didn't keep the standard.

What I'm looking at is it says God gave them the jewelry. And some contend they took them off because some jewelry was assiociated with pagan worship not that all jewelry is.

I'm really trying to look at this objectively not trying to justify any thing.

That's what I'm looking at. Why would God say he's decking them out with something that is sinful??

You are rightly dividing the Word ... Truthseeker ..

why would Jesus use a parable in which a Father gives his long lost son a ring???
