How do you know for certain that Deut. 21:10-14 is absolultely a forced marriage ?Can you produce any rabbinical writings indicating rape and forced marriage was understood by Jewish scholars in Deut. 21:10-14 ? Produce your evidence that rape and forced marriage is the only or even major rabbinical interpretation of that passage.While you are at it you can produce proof that the passage calls for the woman to be fully naked in the house for one month. (If you were the poster claiming that was the meaning of her putting off the cloths of her captivity).It just discard "her captive's garb" not discard her garb or all garb. "You must not treat her as a slave" (v.14)Prove to me that the Jewish master was permitted to rape his slave. Chapter and verse - "AFTER that [her mourning] you may go into her and be her husband." (v.13) Prove that the Hebrew man was permitted with no penalty to go into a female before becomming her husband. Where is the instruction? Where does it occur without some associated discipline, fine to the family or other punishment ?And why did it say IF she's beautiful and you desire to MARRY ? "suppose you see among the captives a beautiful woman whom you desire AND WANT TO MARRY" (v.11 NRSV) Why didn't it just STOP at " ... beautiful woman whom you desire " [period] ? If rape was the will of God than that is ALL that was needed to be said. You saw her and you desired her not "you desire AND WANT TO MARRY"" You must not treat her as a slave , since you have dishonored her" (v.14) If to have sex with her and send her away is the "dishonor" her what makes you think rape is suggested ?Explain your logic with something else beside pompous selfrighteous grumbling. Do some home work and produce some evidence that your exegesis is at least accepted among either OT or NT scholars. You are about to show us all how to back up your own interpretation. Better get busy. I expect you to produce evidence that Deut. 21:10-14 is definitely, without any doubt a divine ordination to RAPE and that the captive woman has absolutely NO other choice but a forced marriage.That's your next post I hope.

It's true that I don't consider, "I could kill you but I won't," a treasure. I would consider your god just leaving me alone a treasure.

Why don't you tell me how you escape that conclusion. Can you produce any rabbinical writings indicating that a captive's meaningful consent was required before the marriage. Certainly none is included in the text. If you want to go beyond the text, then you should get going. I don't believe 'naked for a month' to be a correct interpretation. Perhaps you should address that demand to someone else. You truly see nothing problematic here? I think you do. Why did you select the NSRV translation here?And what kind of ceremony do you think is implied by "and after that thou shalt go in unto her"? That would be the sex under the circumstances where you killed off her family and the male members of her tribe. I don't care about the month of mourning. I do care about the the unilateral decision about who gets the honor of becoming your third wife in those circumstances. Edited by NoNukes, : No reason given.

In what way does God annoy people except in promoting sexual prudence against the culture that bothers everyone to notice nakedness and a focus on sexual promiscuity?That Christians push back against this destructive force that destroys the Family and eventually the nation seems no more aggressive or unfair than the purveyors of pornography in advertising and the media in general everywhere.

The grace of our god is that man has the ability to image Truth and hence cope with the facts-of-life.Who can argue with that?John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the truth, the way, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

That info did not come to me in a school yard. I am trying to locate the source for my own curiosity. I didn't say that other ways could not be the cause as well.

You mean you would like to revoke His sunshine, His rain, His air, His gravity, His process of human love, marriage, birth, growth, etc.You would like to revoke His entire creation from under your feet and from over your head.The sound mind He blessed you with, you wish He hadn't bothered too?The use of your limbs, organs, legs, hands for what purposes you prefer, you wish He had not granted those blessings as well ?In spite of some typical hassles that all people in the world face, you have been granted many days of happiness with friends and to persue the things you like. No thanks to God for that either huh? You just wish God would leave you alone.You sound like a real spoiled brat.And why do you come to Bible Study ? That's perculiar.

I actually did misspeak. One theory is some came from exposure to the body fluids when butchering.You can read anything about origins of HIV in order to read the evidence.HIV - Wikipedia

1.33 Billion muslims still hear God saying pretty muchthe same thing, don't they?God de facto created men who KNOW that the sexually promiscuous liberal progressive feminist attitude is destructive to the family.The message is that this behavior will lead to extinction because man, the social anomal he is, is not adapting to the nature he must in order to avoid extinction.

No, I don't believe God said that stuff to anyone.

Far from being good, that god sounds like a reactionary bigot and misogynist.

Dr. Adaquate, a number of posts back, supplied a link on research into writings which were listed under the bans of Nazis.His evidence included something called "primitive Darwin" and this recommendation also -

quote:

---

All writings that ridicule, belittle or besmirch the Christian religion and its institution, faith in God, or other things that are holy to the healthy sentiments of the Volk.

Then I came across these examples Hitler's more hostil words against Christianity. They well could have qualified to be banned as well. For they ridicule, belittle and besmirch the Christian faith.Quotations attributed to Adolf Hitler are from Hitler's Table Talk [London: Weidenfeld & Nicholson, 1953 ]:

quote:

---

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together ... The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity. Bolshevism is Christianity's illegitimate child. Both are inventions of the Jew. The deliberate lie in the matter of religion was introduced into the world by Christianity ... Let it not be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (pp.6-7)

​

"The reason why the ancient world was so pure, light and serene was that it knew nothing of the two great scourges: the pox and Christianity. " (p.75)

​

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless, nor any more indecent way of turning the idea of the Godhead into a mocery ... When all is said, we have no reason to wish that the Italians and Spaniards should free themselves from the drug of Christianity. Let's be the only people who are immunized against the disease. " (pp. 118-119)

​

"There is something very unhealthy about Christianity." (p. 339)

​

"It would always be disagreeable for me to go down to posterity as a man who made concessions in this field. I realize that man, in his imperfection, can commit innumerable errors - but to devote myself deliberately to errors, that is something I cannot do. I shall never come personally to terms with the Christian lie. Our epoch in the next 200 years will certainly see the end of the disease of Christianity .... My regret will have been that I couldn't ... behold [its demise]. (p.278)

When I sort through the mass hysteria and confusion which was the Third Reich I have to include these examples of what Hitler's real attitude was about Christianity.
