The Bible was written over hundreds of years by many different people and there's no proof that it was all inspired by God. ( People, mostly men at that time, had their own agendas.) It has been a source of conflict for centuries. It seems ludicrous to believe that ANYONE has a proper understanding of it.

From John-David, down on to Jed and Jer, it's just not normal to be sleeping with young boys in the same room. It's the same with their daughters; Jana is a grown woman who is still sharing a room, and probably still sharing her bed with a 6 year old Josie...just not healthy if you ask me. thank you for your response to this question.Gracie in NCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-70628523536006761302016-10-10T21:47:24.484-05:002016-10-10T21:47:24.484-05:00So we saw their "guide to courting."
