I will give you chapter 6 from Chesterton's book "Orthodoxy".  I could also give you some other Christian apologetics:

And part 2 by Chesterton, which goes into the details of part 1:

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+19&version=NIV 

⁷ “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?”

⁸ Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard."

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her.

Now, if you just want the nits to be strained, you can find a number of articles like this one that go into the subject:

http://www.equip.org/bible_answers/how-could-the-bible-command-a-rape-victim-to-marry-her-rapist/

The question is: Do you just want to spend page after page after page dicing up specific texts or address bigger issues?  If you want specific nits, then label each topic separately, with an overarching theme in the subject header.  On that, you can check out Exodus 22.

Like I said in OP, I want to touch different bible passages, one topic at a time, and the first topic to start it off was the topic of rape in the old testament and in the bible in general.

Yeah, so this will stay the Bible discussion thread and every now and then we'll change topics, and people can discuss other topics in the meantime but if it gets too chaotic I'll ask people to stick to the current topic. Right now it's rape.

@Happyd, in layman's terms, what does the bible say about rape? Try not to use scripture.

I'm not sure. I'll try to explain scripture like I read it, and say what I understand in layman's terms.

The bible talks about rape mostly in the mosaic law, which is found in the books of Exodus, Deutoronomy, Leviticus and Numbers (someone correct me if I'm wrong). The idea is that if a woman is a virgin and is raped, the rapist must marry her. Let's stick to this one case before going on to the ones where the woman raped is married, for a sec.

The reason Moses asks this it seems (as Mr Khan pointed out), is that in the society of that time and place, a woman was marriageable only if she wasn't deflowered:

"It's much more straightforward and materialistic. A deflowered woman had no sale value, so the man who did so was required to take her. It's the marriage equivalent of shotgun weddings, or "you break it, you bought it." Otherwise the woman would be unmarriagable, creating a burden on her family."

As Mr. Khan said, that would explain why in the case of a married woman, if she didn't cry for help, she would be stoned, since she was already married to another man.

However, I'm not sure if I buy this whole argument, since Ruth was married to a Jew when he died and she became a widow, yet still her life was considered valuable enough to keep alive and she even married later what is called a kinsman redeemer.

All this to say that we're looking for clues, and other parts of the bible will tell us if those clues make sense in the big picture or not.

So to answer your question, I still don't know, and I'm workin' on it ;)

I am getting more of this as an impression of what Happyd is saying: What is Christian doctrine about?  Don't use scripture, and only follow what I am addressing, using your own line and reasoning, and don't you dare bring up anything else, because this is MY thread, not yours.  When we are done with showing that the Bible wants men to rape women, we will go into showing how it endorses infanticide.  Then, after then next 20 topics are done, it will become clear than in no place in time should anything with the Bible me in the minds of anyone anywhere.  After this, we can then get back to why all Chick-Fil-A places should be burned to the ground.

Change the subject header to, "Issues I have with the Bible discussion" or something, and have it limited to issues you want to talk about.  As it is now, you left the distinct impression you want this one thread to be home for anything connected to discussions about Bible verses and whatnot, so they don't clutter up the forum.  If you want it the former, you can control the thread.  If you want it to be more open, then it is a place for people to post stuff connected with the Bible.  Either it is your thread, and your topics, or it is a more open one to discuss the Bible and Christian thought.

What are you talking about... The rape segments were brought up by Wonktonodi in this thread here -> http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4695801

He had brought up parts of the bible that I personally had questions about and opened up the discussion with my peers. Of course it's just one topic among many, so I created a thread to talk about all these kinds of cases, like Seth asked about "Who did Seth marry", and we were able to answer that one. Some are just not as straightforward.

Of course if you post something that isn't related to scripture, it's best to keep it for another thread.

Simple stuff.

Custom would be this: Start a thread specifically connected with that topic in the general section.  You could even label them.  If you decide to use one thread for multiple subjects, people will have a hard time finding anything in there, if your intent is to go by topic.

Anyhow, at this point, I started a more general one, per your request:

People are free to post Jesus, Man in there, if they like.
