What kind of a message are you Christians trying to spew forth? So would you tell that to a child to marry their pedophile? I mean the child now is damaged goods, she can't be a true Christian and marry a True Christian husband.
Do you want to have children marriages on TV? How about we make a show of children marrying their sexual abusers.
What about senior citizens that get attacked in their homes and also get sexually assaulted? You want them marrying their attackers, their rapists?
Ooo I know lets combine the two and make a reality tv show. Let us make women who were brutally assaulted by their stalker, their rapist and get married to them. Let it unfold to show how disgusting you all are to think you are True Christians.
This is just as bad as the West Boro Baptist Church. Sure you have the freedom to spew hatred and tell people they are going to hell but in the end all you are doing is pushing people away from religion.
You have the audacity to judge those who get raped and yet I bet none of you have been in that position. Prayer won't help you, when your abuser is holding your hands down and pinning your body to the ground while he has your way with you. If you are lucky he will let you go or the abuser would just put a bullet in your head.
As for the way women dress, its none of your business. However you say a woman shouldn't dress that way when no one follows the rule about wearing two different fabrics. Oh but that one doesn't matter, right? Cause it is modern day not the medieval days where Christians killed pagans for not believing in their God... Kind of like the Taliban of this age. Hmmm history is now repeating itself.

Miss Experience,
There are a few things you don't understand. First and foremost, we are not telling people anything. We are informing them of
God's will. JESUS tells that the raped woman must marry her rapist but, you see, it is reciprocal. Also the rapist gets a
punishment for life. He has to marry the woman and become her spouse no matter how inconveninent that would be. God is righteous, it is a righteous punishment. Secondly, yes. Jesus does not specify the age of the partners in fornication. It may well be an older woman.
Thridly, you seem to imply that Christians should tell people what they want to hear. This is all backwards. True Christians™ tell people
what Jesus wants them to do. We have seen the the Instruction Manual for wannabe saved persons is unfortunately beyond the capabilities of the average sinner. I'm obviously referring to the
Bible. These people mix their own hopes and emotions with God's Word and end up with a mess of 'interpretation', overt dismissals and blatant disregard for the parts of the Bible they're uncomfortable with.
God doesn't negotiate or play games. His instructions are clear and beyond interpretation.
He commands. You believe.
He commands. You obey.
He shows your corrup state. You repent. If you persist,
He rewards. Maybe.
Heaven!!!
Do I
like the command of marrying one's rapist? What a stupid question! My likes and dislikes do not matter.
I listen. I obey. I am saved.
Exodus 3:14
And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
Jesus does what He wants. We also do what He wants. That is all there is to it!
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
