Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? I've just updated my answer with links to questions I asked on Judaism.SE - I'll be refining it further. |

Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? Hmm - what stood out from the first? There's some insightful updates on the second now. |

Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? Thanks @JonEricson - I have asked a question about this on the Jewish site (2 related ones actually ;p). Could you expand on your first point? I get what you mean by saying that it was a different cultural setting - that does make sense, but I don't get what you're saying with "the brides are brought to the king one at a time". Thanks! |

Why would God disapprove of rituals he ordained? Great adage - lots of juicy details here, thank you! |

Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? These are good points. Right now, glossing over the answers, it still feels just like good points on both sides on the table. Finding a historic example of a groom marrying more than one "bride" at a time would seal the deal. |

Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? hmm - @Richard, maybe you're stretching the parable too far/reading into it? There's many analogies that illustrate one point, but if you take them too far they lose their meaning. |

Are the 'ten virgins' told in Jesus' parable multiple brides or just general wedding party? I think you meant "bride" when you said groom in a couple of places here, especially in "Then the groom would bring out the evidence of her virginity" |

Where is the citation of John 7:38 taken from? This is a great topic in general - thanks for bringing it up, I've been looking into this for a while. |

What is Micah 5:5-6 talking about? I learned much from your answer about how prophets interpreted the first and second coming. Thank you! |

What does the prohibition against women speaking in church in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 mean? I think that this question is valid in so far as it's asking for interpretation of the verse. I am interested in this interpretation myself, and would love more answers from the community. |
