It's not my argument, it's not what I think happened, so I have no answer for your question. Ask Randy.
Well for me if he believes the stories in the old testament are true and takes the position that if god was ordering it than it wasn't really rape, then in my eyes he is condoning rape. He is trying to get around condoning rape by pretending that kidnapping a woman, forcing her to marry you and having sex with her, is not rape.
This. Randy is trying to convince us the obvious rape of the war captives is somehow not rape so he can say he doesn't condone rape. That is why I keep trying to get him to answer the question about modern soldiers.
We would condemn a group of American soldiers who forcibly married young virgins after destroying their village. The bible is describing a similar situation.
