Yeah, see... exactly. If you go down that path, you're gonna drive yourself nuts. I mean, I can pretty much guarantee you, that you're not gonna find those kinds of answers in the Bible. You know, before you know it, you're gonna have to start "reading stuff into it" if you wanna get any farther, and I mean, that's where I draw the line right there. I will not making any assumptions about anything it says in the Bible. At least, I'll "try" not to.

Nah, see, I mean, I'm gonna tell you the same thing I'm telling these clowns over in the political section of this forum - you gotta come in at the "right level of description" with this stuff. You know, what I told you, I "think", is the right level of description - it's the "committed and sanctified" part. I think, if I'm not mistaken, this is the part that Jesus emphasized too, yes? He didn't spend too much time on the "biological details", correct?

So, I mean, if you wanna get into "specific words", then you're gonna have to deal with "historical context" (the "spilling seed" thing would be a perfect example), and I mean, "why" would you wanna even go down that path?

Just listen to Jesus - do the "committed and sanctified" thing, and you'll be okay. You know, don't worry about the rest. It doesn't matter. If Jesus didn't bring it to your attention, then it doesn't matter. That's "my" take.
