The Text Of The Moses Scroll – Episode #13 – Ross K Nichols
In this week’s show, Ross & Jono address the 5th Commandment as it appears in The Moses Scroll, “You shall not commit adultery • with the woman • of your neighbor. • I am • Elohim • your Elohim. •” What does it mean to adulterate? Why include the qualifier “of your neighbor”? and who exactly is one’s neighbor anyway? Listen in for the answers to these questions and more.
I am disappointed that you would consider anything that Paul would have said in the new testament given that he speaks against Torah and the keeping of the commandments of YHWH. If Torah is our foundation of truth and it is where we hear the voice of YHWH speaking as to what is pleasing to Him then we see that Gods word makes a provision for multiple wives (one loved and the other hated) and makes no restriction for having one wife only. Remember that the commandment in Deu_21:15 is given to Israel while they were in the desert prior to occupying the land. If they were forwarned that commiting adultury polluted or defiled the land then nothing is said of having more than one wife while in the land. And to further this concept Lev 18 list all of the restricted relations that a man should not have. Not once is it written that a man is not to have sexual relations with more than one wife. In fact Lev 18:17,18 implies that two wives are acceptable except that the secound is not to be a sister to the first or a duaghter to the first wife. So it appears that Paul the “blameless Torah keeping apostle” has subtracted from what YHWH calls Holy.
