additionally if you read “the body keeps the score,” the author notes that it was not until like the 1980’s that incest was removed as acceptable practice from some important text of psychiatry—i forget the exact reference. it is also accepted practice in the talmud. don’t know why this author calls it here torah, but the references are babylonian talmud. torah is the old testament, nothing to do with the talmud. also see alice walker, “it is our (frightful) duty to study the talmud.” https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/outing-the-torah/

I’m surprised in the extra Biblical Hebrew writings they make such fine distinctions regard age…for example, declaring 9 years old as old enough to be executed for having sex with a kid but under 9 not a death penalty offense. I can see why these aren’t part of the Bible, but still, WTF?
i appreciate you taking the time to read. let me please add a point because even the author of the times israel article purposely tried to confuse it: these are NOT biblical writings. these are the babylonians who are spoken about in the bible. these are not the tribes of israel. this is a separate group of people that follow matrilineal not patrilineal lineages. and i pointed out the psych reference to show these practices continue to this day. in any case, if you are interested in religion there was a split between coptic & constantine christians. the catholics come out of this barbarity. and are close to these talmudist rabbi groups. i don’t understand it all either.
I’m no ancient scholar either, but it’s obvious these are extra-biblical by content alone. It would be like mother Theresa’s guide to cooking meth, it wouldn’t make sense.
All that said, sex with kids is inherently wrong, even if there are old writings obliquely implying it’s not all that bad…Just like murder or theft is inherently wrong.
How does one prevent this? I suppose parents are a big part of it, but sometimes they are the problem. The whole thing is angering…
I won’t get into a discussion of which texts are biblical and which are Satanic. Those Talmudic quotes are not in the bible. The most complete bible is the Ethiopian/Eritrean Coptic in Ge’ez—it is also the oldest known to be found. Look at Ge’ez script and look at Hebrew & Greek and you tell me which looks original and oldest and which looks derivative from it. As to how we end it: yes, parents are part of the problem. They are either social climbers and willingly pit their children in these networks (see: Catholics) or too busy and unaware and think they are being given an opportunity (think: Gifted and Talented) or they are a part of the network. Understanding it is happening is one step forward, second is believing victims who are brave enough to discuss it not their abusers who discredit them, and third is exposing the abusers.
