Premarital Sex At about 49 minutes, MacArthur begins, See 49 minutes and 22 seconds He refers to Leviticus 19:20 as a scourging penalty for sex with a slave: “And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.” Forced Reward Of Marriage He seems to subtly ignore the obligating, life-changing commandments (Ex. 22:16, Dt. 22:13-21, 28, 29) for premarital sex and forced reward of marriage with a partner of the Hebrew race and non-slavery economic culture. Instead he goes to the penalty side for having sex with a slave who was betrothed. The female slave did not concur the same sex penalty as a free woman; otherwise, she would have been put to death even as the free caught in adultery. Eventually, slaves according to the deliverance of Christ were looked upon differently: "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus" (Gal. 3:28). Regardless, today, our accountability and standard is greater: all women (excluding chaste widows) are expected to be able to offer a man virginity in marriage, or else remain single. Overlooking things like this can be very misleading to youth and the unlearned. He presents premarital sex as something a person can only be punished for rather than demonstrating that sex has a marriage bond attached to it. So, if you watch both parts of his videos you will see the cover-up of the essential part of the sex bond of marriage and may realize he has skillfully kept the attention of a crowd without offending them or making them aware of personal accountability issues and the need to make changes perhaps due to their previous sexual behavior. He has explained the exception clause for divorce and the penalties for adultery very well in part but he has left out the very important, commandments concerning the bond of sex. Premarital sex may very well become marital sex according to the sexual bond and Old Testament law of a female virgin. The female's paternal parent has the right to accept the man or deny him for the marriage. However, if the male says that she did not have virginity and refuses her, she must remain single as an unchaste woman if it is proven to be true; otherwise, hypothetically, if she had lived in the Old Testament era she could have been penalized with the death penalty for folly. Today, in the morally deteriorating USA, which is lacking in deterrents for fornication, a background check is used among the wise and the remedy for female unchastity is legal help and annulment.
