was very interesting in the light of todays men. Back in the flight from Egypt the Israelite men could take their wives to the tabernacle to see if they were guilty of adultery by drinking a mixture of dirt off the tabernacle floor. IF their bellies got big and their hips dissolved they were guilty. She wondered if that is why there are a lot of men with pot bellies and no hips running around.

She has a very good point, lol.Good thing i wasn't in that position. I would not have drank such a filthy concoction, that's ridiculous.

In Muslim world they just take them out and shoot them. So I guess women might drink it today if given a chance.

I think that there is no connection of todays men with big bellies. Not all the Israelite men would do that but only those who suspect that their wives committed adultery with other men. It was God's way of determining who's guilty or not. If that would apply today, I don't know if there would be lot of women who will be found out. Also with men, maybe there will be less who will be alive today.lol


myLot reputation of 96/100. ANTIQUELADY (16514)  3 years ago

I don't think GOD had anything to do w/it.

I totally agree with Antiquelady. This practice smacks very much like those so-called tests given during the Salem witch trials. Many innocent people, not just women, died over such ridiculous tests that were done in the name of God. I am sure some of those religious leaders meant well in their efforts to protect their people under their jurisdiction. Nonetheless, their tests, as this one with the muddy drink, were dangerous and without divine endorsement or support. God deals with all his children, good and bad, in his own way and in his own time. The holy bible is full of valuable information on how to handle those you suspect are wicked and dangerous. Thank GOD, I was never subject to such madness and abuse of religious/civil authority.

haaa! lol Now that made me laugh... I wonder how these kinds of things get thought of? I believe if I was one of those wives I would probably ask that question too. They must be cheating too!

Lol, your daughter, I think is right lol. Anyway, it lets me think though about the fat cops with big bellies in our country patrolling the streets rolleyes. Well, not all of them are guilty of course of adultery but perhaps of drinking too much beer.

In the Muslim world it seems to be a crime if the women commit adultery but they look the other way if a man does it. Isn't it O.K. for the men to marry more than one woman. I have to wonder how many women actually died because of the test?


myLot reputation of 99/100. Aliceinwebland (5358)  3 years ago

Too many probably. thumbdown

I don't know the answer to that, lotterylover, but I do know that if adulterers today could be identified by some outward physical sign there would be many showing them.lol

Aids is a sign for some. The only thing is the partner may also get it without having committed adultery and that is what is so sad about Aids. Many a bride gets married in white who aren't a virgin. If one out of a thousand were virgins who got married I would be surprised.
