It is accepted that the woman is the property of the man and what he does with his property is his own business. This perception is condoned in the major religions, including Christianity, Hinduism and Islam, in which religious texts are interpreted to justify male supremacy and the submission of the woman.

Only in Islamic countries applying Islamic Shariah law do men have the legal right to kill a woman and take children of any age for wives.
Jordan for example is considered by some to be a more moderate Islamic country yet no matter how Queen Noor tries to get the law changed, it never works, Jordian men have the legal right to murder woman, thats a fact.

It's not the church, it's the laws that need to do something - with DNA like it is now, there's no reason a woman should ever endure rape, and especially if she knows her rapist but what he is immediately incarcerated. The churches role is to help with the soul and bring to it healing through Christ Jesus. It already preaches against the sins, but it can't stop the sinners. That's why there is law. That's why up until the ACLU there was always separation of Church and State - the church taught the morals and the State upheld the morals - but the ACLU and various others erased the line - and now there is chaos. No surprise for those of us who have fought it, watched it take over, and are now still fighting, but realize that when it gets right down to it, all we can do through the church is what Christ did - teach - the laws were still up to the state - Christ fulfilled all the "synagogue laws by his stripes" and he told us that we had to regard the governments in which we were under but God first.

The Bible teaches that the male was made before the female, and God gave the man authority over the woman, but it does NOT say that rape is ok in any way,form or fashion.

Chrstianity does NOT promote women being treated as property. The husband is supposed to be the head of the household and must treat his wife with equal respect. Nowhere does it say that women are allowed to be treated like that.

Christianity does not condone rape. And does not teach that women are the property of men.
Cordially,

Because some people are evil and will always be evil despite belief system. But some people are good, so does it balance out?
