How about a mistress?

[Deuteronomy]

Before anything else I would like to apologize if this topic has been covered already. I looked around and couldn't find anything, but if I'm erroneous I apology for the waste of bandwidth.

I have in my neighborhood a good Christian friend, who approached me with a question. He is in his late sixties and happely married with three children. But the other day he told me that he have had a revelation, commanding him to engage in a somehow physical relationship with another woman. This woman is so young that she is not married, and is not yet informed that she is to be chosen.

I do not have sufficient theological knowledge to answer this person, so I hope you good people will help me.

Does the bible not tell us

Genesis 16:9 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.

Isaiah 24:2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

And my personal favorite

Judges 19:24 Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing.

I hope you will take the time to give me directions.

Re: How about a mistress?

I don't see a problem anywhere, friend. If your friend cannot contain, let him do as he likes with her:

1 Corinthians 7:8-9:
I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, it is good for them if they abide even as I.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Of course, the father of the girl needs to receive a payment. The Bible values a woman at fifty shekels of silver, so it likely will be womething around that number:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29:
If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.

Thank you brother. You are as wise as your picture indicates. It brings me relief that I can tell him to proceed with his business. I also think it is healthy for an older man to have a young and tender women to exercise with besides your wife. The almighty Lord is indeed a loving and caring God. Praise him. Hallelujah

Can your friend afford the requisite fifty shekels?

That is a good question. The people with money in Denmark are mostly homer prostitutes and drug dealers. Maybe the girls farther will settle for less.

Is that allowed?

Probably not, but he should be understandable about my friends physical needs. Besides, he should be happy that his daughter gets the opportunity to lay with a good Christian man. Also I found this scripture indicating that the Lord has understanding for the economical less fortunate. The Lord is merciful

Leviticus 27:8 But if he be poorer than thy estimation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall value him; according to his ability that vowed shall the priest value him.

If it were about the money, it would be a sliding scale, starting at fifty shekels and going up. For those with millions, fifty shekels is chump change. So what is then, is principle. Like holding a door for a lady. She could do it herself but being I am such I nice guy, I almost always hold it for them (never for a femnazi or person God does not approve of).

I am not sure but could livestock be given in lieu of cash?
A goat or sheep?
