>m-muh sex

this desu

Yes, it does.

See: Deuteronomy 22:13-29

>28 “If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who is not engaged, and seizes her and lies with her and they are discovered, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the girl’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall become his wife because he has violated her; he cannot divorce her all his days.

So basically, t-take responsibility, sempai?

All the parts you mentioned talk about lying with virgins. Is there some theological or historical understanding I am missing? Or did the writers just pieously assume no one would be unmarried?

Also the parts talk about "being found out".
So, if one were sneaky peaky about it, God would not mind? Or am I missing something here?

Didn't some of the Israelian kings have harems as well?

Controlling sex is a major motivator. If you want access to sex you have to be a good (insert group here).

You'd have to look at the Talmud to see how this passage has been historically interpreted.

It's a fucking law, of course "being found out" is discussed because how can you punish someone for a deed otherwise?

>It's a fucking law
Usually, laws only describe how things are to be done, as finding out about it would be, as you said, a given.

I just find it funny that it's mentioned every time. That finding out part could have been left out and would therefore condemn the acts themselves.

But no, by keeping that parts, finding out seems to be an important part of those religious laws.

Maybe that's just historical legislative? Did laws from that time all include being found out?

As a layperson, I could come up with several ways of interpreting those lines.

I don't see how this explicitly bans sex outside marriage. I'm not even the OP.

But what about all the concubines in the OT? Both David and Solomon not only were polygamous but also had concubines. Nowhere is this condemned in Samuel. there's also a man in Judges who has a concubine (who was then gang-raped to death by Benjamites)

>>So why are Orthodox Jews so puritanical?
Because all the people who think like you aren't orthodox anymore. Seriously, look up Reform Judaism sometime.

It's like what would happen if all the liberal leaning protestants and "cafeteria" catholics went and founded their own denomination and left the theological conservatives to have their own sect all to themselves.

Orthodox Jews aren't sola scriptura.

No one gives a fuck about the talmud.

They had harems, but Judaism tolerated polygamy at that point

>what would happen if all the liberal leaning protestants and "cafeteria" catholics went and founded their own denomination
They did.

What's it called?

You don't have a direct prohibition, but you do get an indirect one with the Niddah laws buried in Leviticus somewhere.

Women who have had their period are forbidden from sex until they take a certain kind of ritual bath. (and men are forbidden from having sex with such a woman) Unmarried women are forbidden from the mikveh, the bath in question, so can't reconsecrate themselves until they're wed.

>Because all the people who think like you aren't orthodox anymore. Seriously, look up Reform Judaism sometime.
They also aren't Jewish anymore. Seriously, look up Reform Judaism sometime.

According to the Jewish State they're Judaism.

According to demography, they're not. Reform Jews either raise or become atheists, die childless, or they switch back to orthodox. It's a dead end movement.

and? it still reflects a group of religiously observant Jews

That's too bad because that is how modern Judaism operates. If you want to understand why sex outside marriage is prohibited but is not explicitly mentioned in the Torah, you need to go to the Talmud.

a lot of the Talmud is uninformed bullshit though

Which is the one that lives so differently they have to set up enclaves?

that's the Haredi. Regular Orthodox actually work and contribute to society

Don't hate on the Charedi. We're all in this together.

Modern Judaism operates however anyone who claims to be Jewish claims it operates.

What's the thing with jews and red hair?
It's a wig?

Very insular, so recessive traits show up better.

Northern Euro ancestry

They are literally cancer. You have to be pretty fucked up to avoid work to study the Torah and earn welfare checks which aren't enough to provide for your family forcing your wife to get a job while also raising your kids. Also it doesn't help the situation when you have not only the usual Palestinian terrorists but also Haredi terrorists.

Wait a sec, they give them money to read thei preferite book all day and their wife work and raise the kids?

Most 4channers would fit in just fine.

"found out" in this case would be considered being convicted (you can't punish someone who commited murder unless they are found guilty), paying the fee is the punishment. Don't know how they viewed marriage completely though.
