First of all the rapist is forced to compensate the girl's father. But God's infinite mercy doesn't end here (if it ended here it wouldn't be infinite, right?).
God knows that once a woman has played the whore against her father, no True Christian™ man would want to marry her. That's why God demands the rapist to marry her. In modern English this would be, "You broke it, you bought it".
" he may not put her away all his days". The punishment is directed at the rapist. Not only must he compensate the girls' father, but he also gets a life sentence.
That is correct, Not all Christians are like you.
We are some who read the Bible, live by the Bible and die by the Bible.  |
you know they think the original jesus was black, would you accept that as truth?
did you know back in his time jesus was thought as only a man, because thats what he was, a man who got his ass whipped publicly, displayed no power from a higher being, for hundreds of years he was thought of as only a man, religion never became big until generations died off and the only thing left were words and storys passed down.
not until the truth died did this shit start up, coicendence? i dont think so
