Answer 1

also says that if a man rapes a virgin she is to be his, and he is to not leave her.

basically you can rape to "claim" them.

*shrug* there are many things wrong with the bible.

Answer 2

It would be helpful to you to get a better understanding of the differences between Biblical laws, statutes, and ordinances.
God did not change one point of the laws, however the others have changed, obviously, and God has no problem with that.
That said -
Lets check out what the manuscripts say about your verses:

7. If a man has an agreement with another man to sell to hire his daughter as a maid in the mans household, she is not to be sent out where she would be put in danger; in other words, that man is responsible for her safety and wellbeing.
8. If that master (man of the home is all that means) wishes to be married to her, and she is a problem to him, not pleasing to him - then he must let her out of the marriage. However, even if he's mad at her, he cannot sell her into harm or far away from her family. He is still held responsible for her good care and safety.
9. You have the age thing all wrong. This says that as a result of her living in the masters home, the masters son wants to make her his wife, and that marriage indeed occurs, then the master will be responsible to treat her just as he would his own daughters. He must respect that situation, and not try to take advantage of her.\
10. If the man of the home takes in a wife other than the girl, perhaps because he is displeased with her, he is once again still responsible to her good care and safety. He cannot allow her to go hungry, without decent clothing, and of course, if the master had taken her to wife - he is still responsible to give her children if she desire it (and she would - in those times to be barren was a horror for a woman). Or, if the situation stated previously is that she is the wife of the masters son, he cannot forbid his son from fulfilling his duty to her that she not be kept barren.
If these things are not done, then the man of the home must allow her to leave freely, return to her family and thats without any payment of money to him (ie; payment for any keep for her thus far). He is entitled to nothing.
There is nothing corrupted in the Word of God except that people do not understand what they read. Any mis-translations in Scripture can be cleared up very quickly with the original manuscripts - we also have the massorah, which is the footnotes kept for everything written. If people actually understood what was written, you would have many more Christians in the world. Since it often seems as if the Word is contradicting itself, or just plain nonsense, many people fall away from it. It is the responsibility of pastors/teachers/priests to teach the people - unfortunately, many of them cannot even handle the Biblical languages, much less the english.
Its a damn shame, really.

Answer 3

First of all, you just took Matt. 5:17 out of context. Jesus came take the load of the law off of us. It's not required to get to heaven. The law becomes a priviledge to follow. That's what Jesus is saying. Don't take one single verse to prove anything.

Second of all, that was the culture of the day. A lot of the stuff in the Bible molds to fit the ancient culture. This passage doesn't really apply directly to us because it is not an issue in society.

I do think that the Bible is uncorrupted. Dude, I don't want to argue about a passage of Scripture. All I know is that the bible has made a change in my life. If you're going to pick out Scripture that doesn't make sense, you're missing the point and you're missing out.

Answer 4

You try very hard to twist the words of God .. for all who will hear and listen ... In other words .........

Ex 21:7-36. Laws for Maidservants.

7-11. if a man sell his daughter—Hebrew girls might be redeemed for a reasonable sum. But in the event of her parents or friends being unable to pay the redemption money, her owner was not at liberty to sell her elsewhere. Should she have been betrothed to him or his son, and either change their minds, a maintenance must be provided for her suitable to her condition as his intended wife, or her freedom instantly granted.


17. Think not that I am come—that I came.

to destroy the law, or the prophets—that is, "the authority and principles of the Old Testament." (On the phrase, see Mt 7:12; 22:40; Lu 16:16; Ac 13:15). This general way of taking the phrase is much better than understanding "the law" and "the prophets" separately, and inquiring, as many good critics do, in what sense our Lord could be supposed to meditate the subversion of each. To the various classes of His hearers, who might view such supposed abrogation of the law and the prophets with very different feelings, our Lord's announcement would, in effect, be such as this—"Ye who tremble at the word of the Lord, fear not that I am going to sweep the foundation from under your feet: Ye restless and revolutionary spirits, hope not that I am going to head any revolutionary movement: And ye who hypocritically affect great reverence for the law and the prophets, pretend not to find anything in My teaching derogatory to God's living oracles."

I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil—Not to subvert, abrogate, or annul, but to establish the law and the prophets—to unfold them, to embody them in living form, and to enshrine them in the reverence, affection, and character of men, am I come.


God's word is today as it was in ancient days .... Now move on to a new question.

Answer 5

You really need to get involved with a reliable Bible study to understand the OT. The custom of that day was harsh on women, much as it still in the Middles Eastern countries. It is easy to take things out of context and with your lack of understanding of the customs of the day and compare it todays standard of treatment of women. It has only been in this past century that women could vote. Jesus was very kind to women.

Answer 6

No, this is.

Exodus 21:7 And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
8 If she please not her master, who hath betrothed her to himself, then shall he let her be redeemed: to sell her unto a strange nation he shall have no power, seeing he hath dealt deceitfully with her.
9 And if he have betrothed her unto his son, he shall deal with her after the manner of daughters.
10 If he take him another wife; her food, her raiment, and her duty of marriage, shall he not diminish.
11 And if he do not these three unto her, then shall she go out free without money.

Answer 7

Yes it is but you are ignoring the fact that Jesus came and fulfilled all of those Old Testament law by His sacrifice on the Cross. We live under new laws or the New Testament.

Answer 8

Jesus fulfilled all the law. We are under grace now, but the rules are somewhat stricter now. The life styles in the old testament were quite different than in the new testament.

Answer 9

jesus changed the wording of the marriage laws when he stated to his followers to only have one wife,,, and his son here means for that slave girl to marry the son of the owner that either baught her or aquired her from her father as in a marriage agreement or a need for his son of a wife.......and it was not uncommon for conccubines under the old laws to be up to 50 years younger than there husband.........but jesus put an end to this ...when he came.....................................

Answer 10

Not at all. But, you do have to read further than that. It's like baking a cake, you can't just stir two eggs in a bowl and expect to have what you desire, you have to add all the ingredients.

Answer 11

Jesus came to change the Old covenant (testament) to the NEW COVENANT

AND YES, I DO
