Primordial Sex--Eden as Allegory

[chi pan]

So yet again, no proof at all that god has changed his stance and no longer thinks rape victims should have to marry their attackers?

Besides you said:


Quote:Well the laws apply but the punishments were for that government at the time....the punishment can be changed b/d women are less dependent on men now....

Again your biblical source that says this opinion is God's will?

you don't seam to understand. i said punishment if for government to enforce. that government and culture was very different from ours, therefore, laws and punishments of our government are very different from theirs. it's the culture and government that changed, not the commandments.

And did Abraham really WANT to kill his son? Or was he about to kill his son just to avoid God's wrath if he didn't? What if Abraham had said, "No I won't kill my son"

i actually said he didn't want to kill his son. did you read this? very last thing i wronte on that post.

and the whole way up the mountain he was hoping God would provide a ram instead which is what happened in the end.

According to James 1:13 God doesn't tempt people....and even if he does "test" people, he is sure one insecure dude isn't he? Not almighty, all powerful, all glory, but insecure.

your right, God does not tempt people. he sometimes will lead us into temptation, but it's only to make us stronger. you think it's insecure but he has a good reason for it. the more we are tempted and resist, the stronger our faith becomes. if someone is sheltered their whole life and all the sudden get exposed to the real world then they will fall apart. they won't know what to do. what God does is similar to giving a vaccine. though it will get you a little sick, in the end it will make you stronger.
