No, I am asserting that the fact that it was a property crime makes the traditionalist inclusion of all other sexual sins with it unscriptural and wrong.  Just more truthspeak because there was no other way to include them as serious sin. This is why Pius IX and Pius X did not like scriptural scholarship, because it showed these little abuses of truth.  Fornication was also a property crime, by the way, if your daughter was a commodity to be married off.  At least Paul got that one right and stated that Fornication was a sin against one's own body (and soul), which it is. It is not adultery.  News flash on biblical sexuality - it is very similar to the Honor Killing mentality in Afghanistan today and those other places practicing radical Islam.  I hope we have outgrown that silliness.
