Dear Pastor,
Our
Creation Science team has worked for the past 7 years to re-create the
bitter water described in Numbers 5:12-28.
I think that the passage provides an important
addendum to your article. Basically, it is about
bastards. The
real victim of adultery is of course the
husband, so
God offered the victim a way out: The husband could by his choice and free will present his adulterous wife to a priest. The
woman would drink bitter water and had she sinned, the bastard would be
terminated. This is also an elegant way to give responsibility to the one that suffers from adultery and the following pregnancy the most, the betrayed husband.
Numbers 5:27
And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she be defiled, and have done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.
The tincture is available for suspicious husbands at the
Lamentations Flint Memorial Building. The efficacy has been
staggering, as all the women who've drank it have actually been
proven to have committed adultery! We're still investigating if this would also prove to be an efficient method to discern
bestial fornication and the use of
inanimate objects for unnatural pleasure.
Jeremiah 3:9
And it came to pass through the lightness of her whoredom, that she defiled the land, and committed adultery with stones and with stocks.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
