I have put a fact tag on the new section. Wikipedia has a book reference to support the claim. Hamster (talk) 02:24, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Bastard ancestors[edit]

At a guess #most# people will have #at least# one bastard, and some dubious/non-standard relationship (along with a few marriages not recognised by at least one community/legal system in which they lived). This probably applies even in the 10-12 generations that will sum up to 2000 ancestors (allowing for some (first/second cousin etc marriages). 109.150.41.58 (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2017 (UTC)


Where[edit]

Does it say Apostasy is deserving of Death in the book Spoony (talk) 13:05, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

I'm not sure that it does. And as far as I can see the article does not make that claim. Could you clarify what you are asking?Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 15:01, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
But this is going in that direction.Bob"Life is short and (insert adjective)" 15:15, 16 February 2022 (UTC)

The verse is not condemning "apostacy" as we understand it--Back2theroots34 (talk) 19:17, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

Any links just for reference? The New American Bible for instance clearly is talking about "the prophet or dreamer has spoken apostasy against the Lord" in 13:6, and apparently NKJV chose to title the entirety of Deuteronomy 13 as "punishment of apostates". Obviously "your mileage may vary", because most other translations don't use this word (or even the NAB numbering, as what is Deuteronomy 13:6-12 in KJV etc. is 13:7-12 in the NAB). However, the linkage of Deuteronomy 13 to apostasy is not uncommon. So, I need to understand the objection to this word more. PanGalacticGargleBlaster (talk) 19:37, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
