Well...just because it is recorded in the Bible does not necessitate that it is a reflection of Christian views. Genesis 19:30-38 (New International Version) New International Version (NIV) Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society [NIV at IBS] [International Bible Society] [NIV at Zondervan] [Zondervan] Lot and His Daughters 30 Lot and his two daughters left Zoar and settled in the mountains, for he was afraid to stay in Zoar. He and his two daughters lived in a cave. 31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is no man around here to lie with us, as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let's get our father to drink wine and then lie with him and preserve our family line through our father." 33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and lay with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, "Last night I lay with my father. Let's get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and lie with him so we can preserve our family line through our father." 35 So they got their father to drink wine that night also, and the younger daughter went and lay with him. Again he was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up. 36 So both of Lot's daughters became pregnant by their father. 37 The older daughter had a son, and she named him Moab [a] ; he is the father of the Moabites of today. 38 The younger daughter also had a son, and she named him Ben-Ammi [b] ; he is the father of the Ammonites of today. Does that mean Christians practice, or condone incest? I hardly think so. | ||

I mean, the bible is not the only thing that talks about the guy you know ... Actually there are no credible 1st hand sources of the same time mentioning the person. Mostly just mentions of christians and who they worship, texts that are written years after jesus died. Sorry that I went off topic and I hope I dont start a flamewar by this. Just want you too look it up and see for yourself. | ||

Okay? 10-11 is on the very low end of things, but it isn't unthinkable. Given that he was the king in the making, his diet was probably a lot better than the average person, so I don't see why an early age of puberty wouldn't be possible. On October 09 2008 07:15 Too_MuchZerg wrote:So Christianity accepts 10-11 years old to have sex? Unless I totally misunderstood what these lines did mean. To answer this question, an isolated Old Testament verse is not going to tell you what Christians believe. Notice what it says immediately following... "he did not do what was right in the eyes of the LORD his God." So that should tell you something right there. Not to mention that kings over the ages have tended to indulge themselves sexually. Wouldn't be surprised if that was the case here. | ||

I think marital status was more important than age. Christianity didn't exist before Christ... -_- | ||

As OP says, this was so called internet thing. Oh and I think there is part where they list some guys as 500-700 years old before they die, there was explanation for that too but can't remember anymore. This way humans reproduced pretty fast pace. | ||
