1 Timothy 5:11-15
As for younger widows, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to marry. Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. Besides, they get into the habit of being idle and going about from house to house. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to. So I counsel younger widows to marry, to have children, to manage their homes and to give the enemy no opportunity for slander. Some have in fact already turned away to follow Satan.
Discuss.
Yep, we’ll butcher your husbands in War, and you better not fuck anyone else until you pledge your uterus to someone we approve of. And by the way, shut your whore mouth while Men are talking.
Am I the only one who sees a reference to Timothy and thinks about that song about cannibalism? Sitting in church back then, the preacher would say “Let us turn to Timothy”, and my mind would fill in, “where on earth did you go” as I thumbed my BIble.
It sounds like whoever wrote ‘Timothy: got turned down by his crush.
These two apparently weren’t going to let anything get in the way of their fun. House to House, what about Airplane to Airplane.

Sounds really strange to me that the Bible would say “also busybodies who talk nonsense”. Was busybodies even a word back then?
They used Busybodies in the King James version also. Every verions I checked used the word.
@1
Perfect translation.
younger widows = MILFs
@2: Now there’s a song you don’t hear on the radio any more. I wonder what members of The Buoys tell their grandkids? “Yeah, I was in a band in the early 70’s. We had one really bit. It was about friendship, and food. In that order.”
Speech recognition error du jour, Freudian version:
uterine ——–> ‘deeper in’
You can not love one another as you love me as long as you decide that the others … women, slaves, barbarians, the poor .. are different from you.
Imagine a similar verse written by A female:
As for younger widowers, do not put them on such a list. For when their sensual desires overcome their dedication to Christ, they want to have their way with every female, a manner more appropriate for dogs than humans. Thus they bring judgment on themselves, because they have broken their first pledge. Besides, they get into the habit of going about from house to house, seeking that which is no longer theirs under My law. And not only do they become idlers, but also busybodies who talk nonsense, saying things they ought not to. So I counsel younger widowers to marry if you can, even if this means finding a woman you might not otherwise desire. Have children, earn a lot of money to buy even the ugliest women fine clothes and jewels. In this way you will give the enemy no opportunity for slander. The alternatives are to become a eunuch or turn from Me to follow Satan.
By the way, for those who do not know this Timothy fellow .. he was a sidekick of Paul and part of Paul’s cabal to discredit those who actually knew Jesus, the man, and wanted to deny Paul’s version of Jesus as a Deity. ,
Paul was pretty unpopular in thise days, especially among Jews who saw Jesus as a messiah rather than as a deity. Paul so badly needed a credible “Jewish” sidekick that Paul himself circumcised Timothy!
Odd choice to be included in anyone’s bible!
What a bunch of crock SJ.
Paul stopped denying Jesus Christ on the way to Damascus. Paul then for the rest of his life promoted Jesus! He had no “version”. How amazing is your historical version!
