Hamed good evening
On the subject of the Ten Commandments, a remark, the prohibition of adultery is not only a question of property, literally: it is the means of ensuring the proper transmission of paternal genes.
quite right, where for more accuracy so that paternity
which allows inheritance transmission, don't worry! From where the condemnation to death of the adulterine woman and the man where, to use the formula: "
Mom on, dad can be"
Leviticus 20: 10 If a man commits adultery with a married woman, if he commits adultery with his neighbor's wife, the adulterous man and woman will be put to death.
The Koran has a fairly similar approach. Similarly in case of divorce the woman can live with her future husband only after a few months (6 I think) to ensure that the woman does not bear child of her previous husband
Another remark: in the New Testament and on the same subject, a complete change of perspective: the mere thought of an adulterous act is equivalent to its accomplishment!
Matthew 5-28
But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman to covet her has already committed adultery with her in her heart.This text must be placed in its context, which is addressed to legalists who consider that as long as they do not sleep with another's wife, they may desire it with peace of mind. Jesus therefore reminds them that the law condemns, in his mind, not only the act but also the desire of it (be it adultery, murder, etc. ..) it refers, for an Israelite to David and his desire for the wife of one of his officers.
21
You have heard that it was said to the ancients, Thou shalt not kill; whoever kills is liable to judgment.
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother is liable to judgment; whoever will say to his brother, Raca! deserves to be punished by the Sanhedrin; and whoever says to him, Fool! deserves to be punished by the fire of Gehenna. and then :
«29
If your right eye is an occasion for you to fall, tear it out and throw it away from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and your whole body not be thrown into hell.30
And if your right hand is an occasion for you to fall, cut it off and throw it away from you; for it is profitable for you that one of your members should perish, and your whole body not go into hell. " At that time, transgressions were severely punished until cutting hands or tearing eyes, Jesus encourages them to self-harm rather than sin (which no sane individual would do), it is an incentive to do not judge others, when you are not clean yourself. This point will then be repeated when asked if the adulterous woman should be stoned and he answers to the doctors of the law who want to trap him.
that one of you who has never sinned throws the first stone And all are deserted! Jesus is a rabbi himself and teaches that the law is not only a letter, but also a spirit.
I'm not the only one to have noticed the unrealistic nature of such imperatives!
In agreement with you, no law has ever prevented anyone from transgressing it, its role is dissuasive and protective for others. Thus it is forbidden to drive without a license, and therefore without insurance, which does not prevent some of them from doing so; but in case of accident the offender did not leave the hostel and the possible victims strongly wish that in this case, they are protected by the law and covered by the insurance. This is the purpose of the laws!
