What are idioms?
Dr Jay, I would like to become a born again jesus-man like you and I have been reading the bible but I have some problems with it.
1. The bible says "Whoever lies with an animal shall surely be put to death" Ex 22:19
Now I have got a dog. My dogs name is Spot. I love Spot and Spot loves me. Spot is my best friend and sometimes in the Winter when it is really cold Spot jumps up in the bed with me. Sometimes Spot and me like to play "hide the puppy" under the covers. If I become a Jesus man will I have to keep Spot out the back in the coal shed. I cant believe that when something feels so right it could be so wrong.
2. "No man who has a defect shall approach to offer the bread of his god; a blind man or a lame man or he who has a disfigured face or any deformed limb or a man who has a broken foot or hand or a hunchback or a dwarf or one who has a defect in his eye or scabs or crushed testicles" Le 21:16
That seems a bit harsh. Or is it an idiom?
3.The bible says "And if a man opens a pit or digs a pit and does not cover it over and an ass falls into it the owner of the pit shall make restitution" Exodus 21:33
Is this an idiom. Is the moral of this story always beware of dangerous ass holes.
