you set them free and invite them into your home and treat them like family [had to write it since you don't want to read the truth for yourself]
So if Jesus say treat your rape victim like they're your family. Does that make it admirable?
or Should Jesus just have said. Don't own another human.

What did God say if you rape someone? YOu get to marry them.
or maybe they were referring to the story of Lot offering his daughters to be raped???
So many edifyling stories in the old testament instructed by GOd, it's hard to choose one.

Try Leviticus 19:20.

he brought in God and misquoted the Bible - hence problem
Hi Gavo,
He didn't bring God into it.He was asked and he answered giving what he was asked 'his own feelings as a Christian'
Gay couples do live as couples as it is now .. or as you might say not as the Bible says ?.Allowing legally recognised (not ordering everyone to accept it ) marriage for all wouldn't change what you believe their final judgement may ..would it ? Although the Bible tell us that Judgement is not ours to make ,doesn't it ?

I would ask the pastor if he think he is a Christian because he doesn't believe in stoning adulterers or homosexuals.

I'm not sure what's worse - a Bible basher who thinks they can convert you? A Bible basher that reads the Bible in onoy select versus that suit their point of view? A Bible basher that has no idea what is actually in the Bible? A Bible basher that assumes that no-one knows the Bible quite like s/he does? Or a Bible basher full stop?

I think you meant bible thumper.
THe KKK justified their actions using the bible. YOu can use the bible to justify anything you want.

typical, martini - try reading it in context. your not to do it then gives you the punishment for it. talks about atonement for the sin and you should by rights be put to death for it.
