Quiz: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating?


An engineering professor is treating her husband, a loan agent, to dinner for finally giving in to her pleas to shave off his beard. His favorite restaurant is a casual place where they both feel comfortable in cotton/polyester-blend shirts. But, as always, she wears the gold and pearl pendant he gave her the day her divorce decree was final. They're laughing over their menus because they know he always ends up diving into a giant plate of ribs but she won't be talked into anything more fattening than shrimp.


Answers: How many biblical prohibitions are they violating? Well, wives are supposed to be 'submissive' to their husbands (I Peter 3:1). And all women are forbidden to teach men (I Timothy 2:12), wear gold or pearls (I Timothy 2:9) or dress in clothing that 'pertains to a man' (Deuteronomy 22:5). -Shellfish and pork are definitely out (Leviticus 11:7, 10) as are usury (Deuteronomy 23:19), -shaving (Leviticus 19:27) -and clothes of more than one fabric (Leviticus 19:19). -And since the Bible does not recognize divorce, they're committing adultery, which carries the rather harsh penalty of death by stoning (Deuteronomy 22:22).


But maybe there is no salvation; maybe what our era will prove is that monotheism must fail as a human experiment, given the inability of individuals to see past their passions, and the inability of institutions to inhibit their own expansion. I am sure whatever religious group or faithful follower it is who explodes that big bomb and kills all those innocent people will have some excuse, some reason why in spite of all appearances, that individual or group is innocent or holy or pure. God will have told them to do it. Oh, I mean, the ego-mania they call "God" will have told them to do it.
