Here goes something

Hello…just wanted you to know tonight we’re going to be talking about passages in the Bible like this…

“When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes.”

Seriously…it’s found in Deuteronomy 21:10. So according to the Bible dating should look like this?
1. Find a pretty girl.
2. Take her captive.
3. Shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes.
4. Give her a month to get over the fact that you killed her mother and father.
5. Get married…if you want to.

Is this for real? Is there more going on here? What else does the Bible have to say? Is it relevant? These and more questions answered this evening.

Hope to see you tonight.
7:30 at Faith Chapel in the Atrium
