Nyt menee vähän OT:ksi, mutta tuosta WT läpästä tuli mieleen lukijoiden kysymys vuodelta 61 (15.9.)
● Could you help me find the statement, supposedly in the Bible, that “it is better for a man to put his seed in the belly of a whore than to cast it upon the ground”?—M. P., United States.
Just.
Eli missä kohtaa raamattua todetaan, että parempi laittaa siemen huoran mahaan kuin heittää maahan..
Jo pelkästään sanan "whore" esiintyminen sai ala-leuan tipahtamaan. Paljon on vettä Hudson joessa virrannut sitten tämän lukijoiden kysymyksen. En voisi kuvitella, että tälläistä kysymystä edes julkaistaisiin tämän päivän julkaisuissa.
Sinänsä vastaus on ihan ok, todetaan että kyseessä lienee Italiassa pappien keskuudessa kehittynyt legenda yms yms.
Silti...
Ohessa muuten vastaus kysymykseen.
This is a question that has been repeatedly asked and almost invariably it has been quoted by a Roman Catholic. According to the Knights of Columbus Information Service, this statement does not represent the Roman Catholic viewpoint. But on the other hand a priest, speaking in behalf of St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York, observed that it was more natural to put one’s seed into the belly of a whore than to spill it on the ground although there was no scripture to that effect. This is the type of thinking employed by Roman Catholic priests in certain parts of Italy, for they have gone on record as excusing fornication and adultery so long as birth control was not practiced.
Obviously, the statement runs counter to all that the Scriptures have to say on the subject of sexual intercourse. Nevertheless, it may be that the saying is a corruption of the Scriptural record regarding Onan, who wasted his seed on the ground rather than perform the duty of levirate marriage toward his deceased brother’s wife, because of which he was slain by Jehovah.—Gen. 38:9.
