As we can read from the bible, not only rape is a sin, but also being raped is sin.
if the rape victim didn't scream, the judge should prosecute the rape victim and sentence both to death penalty.
I'm not a bible fanatic or anything,but if you are a good christian, we should do exactly as god wants.
That my friend is what as known as the devils argument.....You can take stuff like that out of context all day long if twisting things to pervert it is your objective.....Here's an example from Matthew Chapter 4
[SUP]
"6[/SUP]
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[SUP]7[/SUP]
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."
Yes, true what satan quoted was written......but twisted contextually in such a way as to lead Jesus into sin (Failed attempt obviously, satan is more effective when it comes to manipulating an average mortal) That's why this other verse exists....
2 Timothy 2:15-16
"[SUP]15 [/SUP]Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]But shun profane and
vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness."
John chapter 8 is worth bringing up as well
"
[SUP]3 [/SUP]The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group [SUP]4 [/SUP]and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. [SUP]5 [/SUP]
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.Now what do you say?” [SUP]6 [/SUP]They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. [SUP]7 [/SUP]When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “
Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stoneat her."
Also, this one is another important verse
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. [SUP]2 [/SUP]For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again"
Obviously, the wisest thing to do is never cast any stones or judge at all.....How can a person engage in execution when these points are kept in mind?
Perhaps some of you may think this response is a little too indepth for a "troll"....but I don't know the OP, maybe he actually believes that based on his reading.....to a non-bible scholar.....what he's saying might appear to be logical to him. Which if you study the bible in it's entirety, it's the most illogical conclusion you could come to. I'm just trying to point out why his conclusion is illogical.
