Recently Discovered Chapter of Deuteronomy

Did you hear about the recently discovered ancient scroll that includes a long lost chapter of Deuteronomy?  Here is what has been missing from our Bible all these years:

And the Lord said unto Moses “I require that my people live sexually pure and holy lives. They must keep their minds and bodies free from immoral sexual desires. Do not let thine eyes cause you to sin. If you know women are bathing in the river nearby, turn the other way. If you notice the form of a fair maiden, do not look that way. Do not engage in any sexual activity until you are married. When you are a teenager you may start dating. You may ask a girl to go on dates with you and do some fun activity together. You may express your love for her, but do not touch her yet.  She may break up with you in a few months. Your heart will be broken for awhile, and then you must try again to date another girl.  Eventually you will find a girl that hints to you that she would like to get married.  Then you must ask her father for permission, buy a ring, and propose to her.  Invite many guests to your wedding in a big church building. The bride must wear a white dress.  After the wedding ceremony you may have sex with your wife. You must never have sex with anyone else. Any sexual thoughts or actions with anyone else are thus considered sexually immoral. “ Deuteronomy 35:1-10

This is great. This passage makes it clear how we should conduct ourselves sexually. The Bible now says what we wanted it to say all along.

Unfortunately, without this passage, it may not be that simple.
