Fellow Episco-blogger and cyber acquaintance Dan wonders why, in this age when Christendom resounds with modern-day prophets urging us to believe the whole of the bible, not picked and chosen verses we happen to agree with, certain verses are never much studied or preached upon.
Consider, for instance, this nugget from 1 Samuel:
1 Samuel 18:25-27 - 25-- Then Saul said, “Thus shall you say to David, ‘The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.’” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines. 26 And when his servants told David these words, it pleased David well to be the king's son-in-law. Before the time had expired, 27 David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.
Why aren't the advocates for "traditional marriage" all over that one?
