Next time you run into a Biblical literalist, ask them why God ordains cuckolding your brother and turning him into a Cuck
From beyond the grave?Everyone knows the full context of this btw.
>>18428117okay, what's the allegorical/metaphorical interpretation of that line mr theologian
>>18428124>it’s okay to sleep with your brothers wife just as long as he’s dead firstWow that adds insult to injury
>>18428124Er and Onan were Judah's sons. Er, the firstborn, died without having children, so Judah told Onan to procreate with Er's widow to produce a heir. This is called levirate marriage and is explicitly commanded in Deuteronomy 25:5–10 as well. I don't know why OP thinks this is a gotcha against literalists when it's so plainly laid out in the bible without room for any other interpretation.
>>18428137Basically that is god telling Cuckolds that they are okay to be cuckolds. “Your brother totally can go raw dog on your wife. I condone it!”
>>18428140Hey did you know in Christian tradition there's this virtue called "chastity"? LOL! It's like that one sex toy that cuckolds use! Why are Christians like this xD
bump
>>18428117if your brother is dead, then his wife and kids become your property. this is perfectly logical and reasonable, everyone would be better off if such a rule was enforced.
>>18428879Go to your brother right now and ask him if he'd be cool with you having sex with his wife. Because the ancient Israelites were cool with it and they were cuckolds
>>18428879>then his wife and kids become your property.That's not actually true, and that's why Onan didn't want to impregnate the widow:>But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
>>18428949Onan was punished by God for this btw.
>>18428946the advice in that verse only applies in situations where your brother is already dead, retard
>>18428957Go tell your terminally-ill brother not to worry because you'll take real good care of his wife and give her many babies when he's gone.
>>18428961think about it this way... a wife and kids are a financial burden and responsibility, which become your problem to deal with when your brother dies. This is necessary because otherwise the children of your tribe will be left defenseless and may bring shame upon your people.I hope you are not truly too retarded to see the wisdom in such a scheme.
>>18428961That would be very reassuring that the crucial duty of lineage is being taken care by someone he can trust and not by a stranger.
>>18428117I had a similar experienceMy brother's xwife wanted to hook up with me and move her kids & grandkids into my house, she has 2 kids and 7 or 8 grandkids, I said NoFuckingWay, I don't trust her, she knows I am a bisexual and she doesn't like me and I believe she would betray me or stab me in the back at her convenience so she could get rid of me and get my house, probably get a big life insurance policy on me first so she could not only get my house collect a big life insurance payout tooNever trust women
