:Not at all. The problem with cases like this is that you lose the whole picture of what the Bible says, or in this case, what the Torah says. It's very clear elsewhere that this, "some indencency", is infidelity. It's the same language employed earlier and later in deuteronomy, with the same implications as the picture of salvation in Ezekiel, as well as the same implications as "doing evil" in the sight of the Lord in Judges. The Article simply asks for opinions. My opinion is that it's generally a bad idea to take snipits of the Bible, (Old or New Testament) when there's clearly an order to the thing. First, we establish -why- we need a messiah, then we get Jesus. It's like comparing directions for a cake: where in one instance, we have an instruction to say, "Bake the cake at 400*F," and at another instance, "Let cake cool." They're different stages of the very same process. And, if you look at earlier parts of Deuteronomy, ((Please, not in the KJV. KJV is a TERRIBLE translation for the modern era)) and even relook at this passage, you'll see what the point and thrust is. And no, the wife does not have any recourse. If she is found 'indecent', or to be an 'adulteress', there must be witnesses. This kind of 'putting out' can't just be an arbitrary thing. See Dueteronomy 17 at, i think, verse 6 and 7.. it's around there. [[User:Jdmeans|Jdmeans]] 11:54, 7 April 2007 (EDT)
