Quote:Dan,You are correct that Hebrew Scripture does not condemn IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS premarital relations. But does that matter?As a believer in the Oral Law I accept what the Talmud teaches that when Scripture says "there shall not be a ZONAH among the children of Israel" it is referring to premarital relations. I am not concerned if some English Bible translates differently.Second, even among evangelicals who do not believe in the Oral Law, they themselves believe the behavior is sinful and preach that way. It is then fair to ask why they are less successful in promoting PRACTICAL compliance.

Quote:I don't know if you've seen it, but NCSY recently launched an abstinence based website (negiah.org).Here's an article in the Jewish Daily Forward from a couple of days ago about it: just-say-no.Take care.

Quote:For one thing, the demands it made of teens were extremely unrealistic. This site is seemingly made for non orthodox Jewish teens, yet tells them to do things like stay out of a secluded room with a member of the opposite sex, preferably not even shaking hands.To give those directions to an average American teenager is like PETA trying to convert the world to being vegan, when they would cause more change simply by asking people to buy free range meats over factory farmed stuff.
