Re: What can you do if your daughter refuses to marry her rapist?

Agreed. I can understand people living by those laws a few thousand years ago when they didn't know any better. The world has changed; I advise you people to change with it.

God Almighty gave us those laws. Are you suggesting that He didn't know better? How can that even be?

Re: What can you do if your daughter refuses to marry her rapist?

A rapist probably won't be a christian, true or otherwise, so if your daughter is raped by, say, a muslim or wiccan or atheist, would you still insist she marry him?

How do you know that it isn't part of God's plan to save that mooselimb, wickedan, or God-denier and let that person produce new soldiers for Jesus?

1 Cor. 7:14: For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Do you want to deny that person the chance for salvation? How can you be so cruel?

Here's the problem with your theory, butterscotch: GOD NEVER CHANGES.

For I am the Lord, I change not.

Re: What can you do if your daughter refuses to marry her rapist?

So, Mrs. Van Hatred-for-Jesus, are you saying that morality changes minute by minute? How is it that what was moral back then is such a heinous violation of human rights now?

No, I'm saying that people are more civilized now that the barbarian tribes that inhabited the lands where the various parts of the bible were written, all those years ago. You might as well be following laws written by cavemen. Hell, THOSE are probably more civilized.

I agree that the people around here can be a little harsh, but they do believe in Jesus, so they can't be all bad, right? I came here looking for help to quit heroin and to quit tricking. And I'm clean still, so they've helped.

As far as the other stuff, well they don't pay so well down at the rehab center, and a girls gotta eat right? But I'm trying and reading that King James Bible helps I guess. But it's so hard to understand sometimes.

No, I'm saying that the world and society have changed since those laws were written.

Me, I don't agree with those laws at ANY time, but I can see them having a purpose three maybe four thousand years ago. Today? Nope. Not happening, folks.

You think God couldn't see the future?

I never said that.
I think God thinks we have enough common sense that we can figure out, for ourselves, that the world is changing and laws need to change with it.
He's right..... for most of the human race. Not so sure about you guys.

Where is that in the Bible? Also, how do you reconcile it with the following verse?

Prov. 3:5: Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

The Jesus of the bible is not some loving hippie who goes around throwing flowers on rifles. Very few people have actually *read* the NT, except for the bits they cherry-pick. Most xtians these days are what I like to call salad bar xtians, ie they pick and choose.

If they actually read the WHOLE THING, they would realize the Jesus of the bible is a far cry from the loving, wishy washy, Herculean 'hero' that most seem to think of.

I'm curious about something. Say a man rapes a boy. Does he then have to marry the boy, or do they both have to be stoned as abominations?

A man marrying another man is complete and utter abomination to the eyes of the LORD. The raper should be stoned, and the boy put into the BASH program, to be de-demonized and brought back into this Church's loving arms, asking Baby Jesus for forgiveness on his weakness. There is always a chance of forgiveness, as promised by Christ Jesus, even for shameless harlots like yourself.

So the altarboy doesn't get any blame for stirring up the lust of the priest, for example?

Bad example, trollop. Papists are so committed to rebelling against God that it takes no special prodding to commit any sin. The only reason you don't hear of priests doing worse is because household pets can't launch lawsuits.

How dare you blame the innocent victims of preistal rape! Is that how you atheistic scum get your jollies?
