When Saul demanded "100 foreskins of the Phillistines" as dowry from David for his daughter's hand...was it the actual foreskins removed from the Foreskin's member; or was it just 100 "Foreskins"?

Coulda been worse: recall Saul later tried to pin David to a wall by throwing a spear at him. (Saul was the king and therefore you couldn't take him to court...)

And you think YOU have in-law problems.

Cheers!

I think they have contended that they were in South America.

The gold medal in the category took place in Iraq before Saddam's fall.

His two sons-in-law returned to Iraq after defecting to Jordan temporarily.

A few days later, they and their bodyguards were killed in an EIGHT HOUR firefight with other members of the Saddam family.

Now that is what I call an argument with the in-laws.

My post: (More gently): Perhaps you are confusing Goliath with Samson?

Yours: "confusing david with goliath?

We both said David. I said Samson, you said Goliath.

See the difference?

Cheers!

No LDS members except total idiots would believe the Biblical cities were in the Americas! It is Church policy that the Bible is the Word of God... and it took place exactly where it says in the Bible.

Most of the Book of Mormon takes place in the Americas someplace but the Bible and Book of Mormon diverge in 600 BC. Lehi and his family left Jerusalem due to a warning from God just before the Babylonian captivity.

Both books are a Testament of Jesus Christ but they should not be confused as 2 stories covering the same place in history.
