| metroidking said: The Old Testament is to show God's Wrath, The New Testament shows God's Mercy most of the teachings in the old testament are replaced in the New Testament, Christians live their lives in accordance with the New Testament not the old. Rape comes under the commandment of Adultery and Adultery is very broad in terms of Gods view on it. Matthew 5:28 "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart." If someone is being raped by someone else they will have lusted in their heart therefore its a sin. Case Closed |
Okay, so we're here to talk. The case is open as long as it needs to be open if that's okay with you.
The question some of us have is, if God is good, then why would there be evil in the Mosaic laws?
I mean, some parts can be reasoned out as Jesus said, for instance, that what comes inside the body is not what defiles a man. And so he explains why certain laws are no longer valid. But at the same time, we want to know what the intent was in those laws, apart from them being overbearing.
For instance, this case.
If you do not satisfy people's need for answers, the questions will always be asked. Of course once something is fully covered, we can move on to the next. But as long as there are questions, let's let them be asked.
