And, praytell, where exactly is fornication condemmed in the Tanach? (hint: the Tanach is the "old testament"). I find adultery is a sin, I find being VERY promiscous is a sin, I find bestiality is a sin.... but, you know, NO mention of a singular act of "fornication". Hmmmmm.... Daniels' prophesy of a man who would attempt to change the seasons and the Law come to mind for some strange reason....

There is the New Testament admonition of Jesus with respect to adultery--having to do with looking upon a woman with lust ( in other words, akin to Jimmy Swaggert spending time in a hotel room with a hooker ).

It doesn't appear to be the same thing with the boy.

Didn't somebody go over this on those other threads?

Holy Writ is grand, but I am not sure why you insist on dragging it into the question. I'm content to rely on natural reason. Would you care to explain to me why it is not immoral to engage in an act that could generate a child whose father would be in no position to care for him?
