Genesis 38:9 is cited to show an "exception" to the model by suggesting that "sex with your sister in law is fine". No context was given, no explanation of the verse, no explanation of how the verse might fit into any understanding of scripture. <BR/><BR/>No one believes that the bible teaches sex with a sister is fine, and in fact, the next verse says God punished him with his life for committing the act. So the verse shows that God completely DISAPPROVES, not that it is FINE. <BR/><BR/>So perhaps I was wrong, I'm not even sure if you'd call it a strawman. A blatantly obvious misrepresentation would be a more apt description.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754998106797605170.post-74473316333630417242009-03-18T16:17:00.000+11:002009-03-18T16:17:00.000+11:00Trav,Could you please show where Alan created stra...Trav,<BR/>Could you please show where Alan created strawmen and tell us why his reading is wrong.
