We all know that Christians are the most persecuted minority in the world - the Bible tells us so (2 Timothy 3:12). Hence,
this story is not surprising. A male nurse took pity on a comatose woman, and decided offer her a path to Salvation:
1 Timothy 2:15 - Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.
That's right, the man decided to do the only honorable thing, that is, to give the comatose woman a baby. When it has been discovered (after the woman gave birth), instead of calling him a hero and promptly marrying the couple (to ensure that the child is not a bastard, Deuteronomy 23:2), the authorities arrested this brave man, accusing him of "rape!" If that's not persecution, then I don't know what is. I hope the parents of the comatose woman promptly come to their senses and accept the 50 shekels.
Deuteronomy 22:28-29
28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
29 Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days.
Just look at his picture (right) - doesn't he look like a fine husband for a comatose woman?
Quote:
A licensed practical nurse who was supposed to care for a woman in a vegetative state at a long-term Arizona nursing facility was arrested and charged with raping her after she gave birth to a baby last month, officials announced Wednesday.
Phoenix Police Chief Jeri Williams said at a news conference that 36-year-old Nathan Sutherland was arrested and will be charged with one count of sexual assault and one count of vulnerable adult abuse for the incident at the Hacienda Healthcare facility in Phoenix....
The 29-year-old victim has been in long-term care since the age of 3 and gave birth to a boy at the facility on Dec. 29. Employees at the time said they had no idea she was pregnant. Court records said her last known physical was in April. As her guardian, the woman's mother was required to submit an annual report to the court that included results of a medical exam.
"We may not know how many times this occurred," Phoenix police spokesman Tommy Thompson told reporters. Investigators had obtained a court order to collect DNA from Sutherland, which was compared to DNA from the baby boy.
