verse

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Ask Jesus : One Thread

If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father. Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her.

What kind of lunatic would make a rape victim marry her attacker? Answer: God. ( gotta love that )

Not God, man. You are reading from the Old Testament: Genesis, I believe. The laws did change. But, I think that there is a message in that particular verse. It probably has to do with sin, repentance, and penance. I would have to do some reading; I can't right now; I'm having lunch at work away from my home library.

Don't put words into God's teachings that do not belong. Just as satan puts words in you, you make God out to be a "lunatic".

Hi Welp.

No, the only reason I mentioned that it was in the Old Testament was to bring your query to a focal point for others who might want to join in with this discussion.

The story you've highlighted must have a purpose other than the one you seem to imply. So, like any coin there are two sides to it.
