McVaugh wasn't created to blow up buildings even if he was trained to kill.
Now this poor girl would have been created to have sex as well as the spoiler and had hormones running thru them just in case. Every human on this planet got her for what she is getting stoned for while hardly anyone has blown up a building to have children. You would stake out a building not court it.
Are you saying that if one has raging hormones that they can not resist their urges? One MUST have sex before they are married even though they know that it is dishonorable to do so? I know many friends who decided to save their virginity for marriage. They were able to resist their urges and wait. Its not impossible
[/quote]1) Where are these laws against premarital sex? I believe we had a thread addressing this already and couldn't find anything to support it.
Where is the thread so I may read it? Don't you think that someone was stoned for no reason that there would be riots or at least a trial for murdering someone? If premarital sex was wrong than murder must certainly be wrong too right?
2) Ok, she had sex before marriage, so we should stone her to death. Is this not overboard?
I agree that it was overboard. One must also realize that, unfortunately, that's how things were conducted back then. Don't you think that hanging a man on a cross for just proclaiming he was God was a little overboard too?
3) A man has accused her of premarital sex. Now, how hard would it be for him to prove this and how hard would it be for her to disprove this? The man, not being happy with his new brides response in bed could easily dispose of the linen with virgin blood on it and clean the woman before he made his accusation. The woman on the other hand has no way to disprove it. Think the deck was stacked against the woman?[/quote]
But it does not say that. Its a possibility but thats not what it says. It says that the husband found his new bride not to be a virgin so she was stoned. You're trying to look into something that can not be proved. I'm just going by what the passage says.
Of course it seems unfair to you. That is because you are looking at it from a human perspective. God is fair and just. Therefore, anything he commands must be fair and just. If it looks unfair to you, that is because you do not understand God's fairness and justice. If you say that something that God said or did is unfair or unjust, then you are guilty of judging God.
Where does it say that God commanded them to stone her? The religious leaders commanded it not God. I have not read anywhere in the bible that if a person sins they must be stoned. And "cutting off one's hand if they steal" just shows that in the last case scenerio should eliminate what ever caused that person to steal which would be the hand. It was not meant as a punishment but as a symbol showing how important it is not to sin.
