LMAO. I quote the bible and a christian STILL says I lie. Read?

Question

If a woman is raped she must be stoned to death? Your god said this?

If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife. - Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB

My God would NEVER have said anything like that!

Answer 1

I know exactly what you are talking about.

I asked a series of questions a while back about things the bible says. In each case, there were dedicated christians who insisted that the bible didn't say that. When I offered the quote and gave them the biblical location, then they tried to insist that it didn't mean that. Others insisted that it was just the "old law" and that after Jesus none of it mattered. When I used New Testament scriptures, they insisted it was a cultural difference or a mistranslation.

The point was that nobody really knows the contents of the bible or the nature of the god they are worshiping when they claim Christianity. It is tragic that they insist their way is right when they don't even know what their way is. They only know what they have been told about it and the people telling them about it has financial incentive to not tell the bad parts.

Answer 2

I suppose you didn't read the passage right after that.

If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death-- the girl because was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

But if out in the country a man happens to meet a girl pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. Do nothing to the girl; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders his neighbor, for the man found the girl out in the country, and though the betrothed girl screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
Deuteronomy 22:23-27, NIV version
So what I take from this is that the girl in the city did not scream because she did not get raped, for she did not protest or try to get help to make the guy stop. For if she had been able to protest loudly enough, someone would've heard her and stopped what was happening. This is because they are in the city. If they were in the country, I suppose it would've been more difficult to hear someone far away (not in a crowded city) screaming.
I'd like to note that this was in the Old Testament. In the New Testament, after Jesus comes and dies, there are many changes to the punishments given, what is clean and unclean, etc... which is why I think some people say the Bible is contradictory. But that is because they haven't read enough to understand fully. Not that I'm saying you're making bad interpretations. I'm just saying that if you read on, God might not seem so ... evil or cruel after Jesus comes.

Answer 3

If you don't like the Bible or don't believe it is true, why are you spending all of your time fighting a God you don't believe exist?

This isn't rape. Quit trying to selectively pull one verse out of the Bible and twist it to suit your own purposes. The Bible starts in Genesis, ends in Revelation.

My God did indeed say that and I'm not trying to back off of it. If we did this more often these days, the country would be a better place.

Answer 4

From the quote you just even to me it sounds like:-

If a man has an affiar with a woman who is married and that it was because of not being raped then both the man and women will be both stoned to death.

Answer 5

hat is why u are suposed to read before and after so u will get the full picture and not just read into anything. if you would have read from chapter one it states that deuteronomy is the fifth book of moses. deuteronomy is simply a list of the old laws. these laws were in affect before moses went upon the mount.

before mosese went upon the mount it was an eye for an eye but the second set of commandments took the place of the old laws. read the book of matthew and jesus explains the new laws in detail. he only asked that we keep one in particular. just remember anything in the old testament is the old laws and the new testament talks in details abou the new laws. old and new.

Answer 6

Are you a religious person Mr. Risin? What religion?

Make quotations from the new testament. Christianity begins after the book of acts not before, that is Judaism. It was necessary that Jesus is raised and the holy Spirit is given for Christianity to begin.

Answer 7

"And has relations with her" also known as having consensual sex. Regardless if she wanted it or not, she consented to the act but NOT saying anything. Yes I know there has been incidents out there where the woman could not cry out (ie. life was threatened; protecting others) but unless something like that has happened it is a woman's DUTY to cry out, to say something, to fight back. Otherwise it is consensual. PS. If you do not believe that the Bible is the COMPLETE WHOLE truth, I feel sorry for you.

Answer 8

This person apparently is not Christian, since they seem to have a different God than the one you quoted.

Answer 9

What is witht he STUPID people who apparently think that ony christians believe in god?

second... your passage here more closely resembles an affair rather than rape. the stoning is a punishment for adultery.

Answer 10

There is a difference between new and OLD testament!

You don't belkeive in GOD so you don't have a say, and YOU have no control on what GOD does so get over yourself.
