Awe -- Bartholomew doesn't yet know you as most of us do..... However, although I usually think I understand your crazy sense of humor and some of your motives, this posting of yours puzzles me.... would appreciate some clarification !!! It's true that I do not know the personalities of anyone here. I am new to the mountain - just a lowly apprentice. So, if I didn't get the joke, or didn't notice the wink, I certainly apologize.
I came here to have fun discussing a favorite TV show of mine, and to be honest, to escape the contentious, provocative boards where politics, sports, religion, etc. are argued, uh, I mean discussed.
So, how about that Cora Beth? Is she a nut, or what?

"The notion that the Bible is sexualized to pique interest in it or to boost sales, the way advertisers use sex, is specious" I didnt mean that. Although I am sure when some people are told there are a lot of sex stories in the Bible, athey start to read it the for the 1st time.My point is that you are right-sex is every where. Even in the Bible."out of context" ? Why was it necessary to talk about the size of the genetalia and compare it to a donkeys?Since I am the keeper of Blue, just give me a holler if anybody needs any confirmations. I knew Awe did not mean anything.

You're probably right about finding out about certain Bible stories... lol.
What I mean by "out of context" is that the quote, on its own, is misleading and does not let the reader know what is actually discussed. The quote is metaphorical, as I stated in an earlier post. The women, or concubines in this case, are metaphors for Israel and Judah and how they have committed the sin of acquiescing to the false gods of Egypt.
That verse reads very differently in other translations and versions of the Bible:
King James - For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition - and doted upon her paramours there, whose members were like those of asses, and whose issue was like that of horses.
Douay-Rheims - And she was mad with lust after lying with them whose flesh is as the flesh of asses: and whose issue as the issue of horses.
Orthodox Jewish Bible - For she lusted upon their pilagshim (illicit lovers), whose basar is as the basar of chamorim, and whose issue is like the issue of susim.
Anyway, we're way off topic and this thread should be moved to the Religion thread, perhaps, for anyone who wants to discuss this further. I do not.

Lol Scarlett! AR15... I suppose we all picture people in our heads of how they look, until we see their picture. I pictured you looking pretty much like you do...except, you are even cuter than I pictured in my head

Well, Scarlet, I am a keeper of male equines. But I won't say anymore on that topic because there is no other board this thread could be moved to if we started to talk about that.

Thanks, Daniela that's very kind. Goodness, everyone's so nice today! I don't think we are being nice, it is more that this is the first time we get to see the real you and we are kind of just introducing ourselves. Okay, Mr. Handsome, or should we call you Big Daddy?
