I'm not going to quote chapter and verse. But I am going name some events and people of the Old Testament.

Please forgive some of the misspell words.)

The seduction of Samson by Delila.

David had over 700 wives.

The genocide of the Canaanites by the Aaronites.

The corrupt of the 13th tribe, Soddem & Gamora, which was more about the corruption of greed than lust.

That's four off the top of my head. I could name several other events and people, but I think you get the idea.

Yes, and we should learn that we are all vulnerable to sin...even David. The wise repented and went on, the unwise did not. I am very grateful that the Bible truthfully relates the facts, not attempting to whitewash any sin...

If the truth wasn't the main concern to the writers of the Old Testament do you think we would have heard about the failures of men such as David...or Jonah...or Peter...or Jacob?

Pornographic? No, a pornographer would have gloried in endless description of the actual acts of the Sodomites. He would have given graphic detail of the affair between David and Bathsheba. We would be treated to the most disgusting, most base descriptions of sin imaginable. Instead we have the truth.

Ok, Let us take a look at your list:

The seduction of Samson by Delila.

David had over 700 wives.

The genocide of the Canaanites by the Aaronites.

The corrupt of the 13th tribe, Soddem & Gamora, which was more about the corruption of greed than lust.

That's four off the top of my head. I could name several other events and people, but I think you get the idea.

David had over 700 wivesNo he didn't.

The genocide of the Canaanites by the Aaronites. I think you need to go back and read 1 Sam :15 again.

The seduction of Samson by Delila. I have read that and find nothing pornographic about it, perhaps you could tell me ewhat verses you find so. You will find the entire story in the book of Judges.

The corrupt of the 13th tribe, Soddem & Gamora, which was more about the corruption of greed than lust.13th tribe? Sorry but, you are so far off base here that I don't know where to start, other than suggest you read Genesis chapters 13 thru 19.

Sorry Paul,

Alas
