Why Bible invite for gang rape - Rape My Daughter - Judges 19:24-25 "Behold, here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now, and humble ye them, and do with them what seemeth good unto you: but unto this man do not so vile a thing. But the men would not hearken to him: so the man took his concubine, and brought her forth unto them; and they knew her, and abused her all the night until the morning: and when the day began to spring, they let her go." Judges 19 describe a father who offers his virgin daughter to a drunken mob. When the father says "unto this man do not so vile a thing," he makes clear that sexual abuse should never befall a man (meaning him), yet a woman, even his own flesh and blood, or a concubine belonging to a perfect stranger, can receive punishment from men to do what they wish. This attitude against women still persists to this day and we have the Bible, in large part, to thank for this attitude against women. Verse 25 describes the hou

WOW way to take things out of context... its a story, a historical account, not a license to go rape someone or sleep with your father... some people will think of anything to try and debate christianity!

this very happening spiked a war between Gibeah and Israel...read into the next chapter and you will see how applaled the people are about this. Be careful what you omit from scripture to make a point. The Israelites were so disgusted at the the men that raped the girl they battled them and ultimately won the war against them
Chapter 21:1 "Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpeh, saying 'There shall not any of us give his daughter unto Benjamin to wife'"
really interested story, to bad you didn't read it well enough

The bible is miny books this book of judges is a history book it tells the truth of what happen. some things were good & some things were bad. this shows how bad some people are. it was not god's Idea. God never comisioned this act. there are people today just as wicked as this man was.
Judges 19:23
[And the man, the master of the house, went out unto them, and said unto them, Nay, my brethren, nay, I pray you, do not so wickedly; seeing that this man is come into mine house] Like Lot, the stranger pleaded with the Benjamites, urging them not to abuse this man who had come to him as a guest. He offered his own daughter to them instead, as well as the Levite's concubine (Judg 19:23-24). Likewise, Lot offered his daughters to the Sodomites, but they were so depraved with unnatural lust they demanded the angels instead (Gen 19:8-11). Such wickedness will always be judged by God-if not immediately (as in the case of Sodom), then in hell (Rom 1:18-32; 2 Cor 6:9-11; Gal 5:19-21; Rev 20:11-15; 21:8; 22:15).
[here is my daughter a maiden, and his concubine; them I will bring out now] Regardless of customs of hospitality there is no excuse for any father to sacrifice his daughter to such lustful, demonized men. To die fighting for the purity of womanhood would have been better. Furthermore, the Levite was a coward, attempting to save his own body at the expense of his wife. He "took ( chazaq ( OT:2388), to seize by violence) his concubine" and brought her out to the men who abused her until morning (Judg 19:25). Obviously, she would not go of her own accord, and his forcing her proved his lack of real love for her. This lack could have been the cause of their recent separation (Judg 19:1-3).
Judges 19:26
[fell down at the door] The woman had been so abused all night by many men that she fell dead at the door of the house where her so-called "lord" was, who perhaps had enjoyed a good night of sleep.

It is very obvious that the bible includes within its pages not only good deeds but good, bad and ugly so that we get a full picture of man and human nature.In it we see heights, low depths and the breadth of mans reasonings and behavior, we learn what is abhorrent and that which is justly praised. This is a testimony to its accuracy and truthfulness, rather than something dishonorable, though the act recorded in all honesty may be wicked in itself. If you claim to be a follower of God then you would not be so deceitful and dishonest or self serving as to misuse and mishandle the bible like that for your own perceived gain. It is a a blemish and spot upon you that marks you as a greedy and intemperate man. A Godfearer man who seeks God approval does not behave unjustly even with those of another religion but walks in integrity towards all, since all arte made in Gods image. So far whatever you have to say is like the chatter and prattling of a drunk man. Do you think you make Islam attractive or true? You only make it look worse than it already does, because it cannot produce honesty in you.

Good question... now let me ask one of my own.
Where does it say that God said it was right? It's a story about what a man did, and his poor judgement calls in that regard. It's not a story about God commanding the man to send his daughter out to be raped.

if you read the chapter over a few times, you will see that the man and his concubine were invited guests in this mans home, it is a custom to protect and keep safe any one who is your guest. in those times a concubine was not regarded as well as a wife.. but.. the men who came to the door were men of homsexuality practices, they wanted the man.. but the concubine woman was given to the mob instead, her body was found dead the next morning and her master took her body home.... so please read the rest, it leads to a war over the rape and murder of this concubine.

Although these stories are in the bible, it does not mean these men and women were flawless. Back in this time women were far less than men and could be disposed of in any way (im not saying its right.) The bible is not to be taken literaly in all places, many stories could have been elaborated or contorted...

Um, did you actually read the rest of that story? The people who committed that crime and all the people in the town they lived in went to war with the rest of Israel because of it.
