Originally posted by StarValleyWyYep, St. Valley Way is absolutely correct here. It's not difficult to cite sources at the beginning of quoted passage. Further, by posting your own thoughts, although some of us may disagree with you, at least we'll respect not merely regurgitating the thoughts of others (especially when these thoughts aren't themselves interesting or unusual, but are just straightforward commentary on Biblical text).
rb... simple. In future, just say that you "found this interesting thing" in ... whatever. Book or internet. No problem. But.
After using other peoples thoughts... it is always bad form to NOT then state a furtherance or argument to support. Based on yer own thoughts.
For example:
Quote a big old bible study.
Then say "The reason I suppor ...[text shortened]... you think! Ya know? Say what YOU THINK. We will love you for it. As long as it is real.

errrrr..... sorry. Couldn't help the plug for Capitalism. Like there was not a nail unpounded in the coffin of socialism! The oldest profession should tell all to 'idealists'.
>edit< The worth of the thing is what the thing will bring. If it is the oldest profession... think about the ways to control it. Good luck. snicker.

Rape has got nothing to do with love. It's all about power.
Originally posted by RBHILLPlease RB... nobody is interested in this. Please refer to Paul's second letter to the Corinthians where he expounds on the evil nature of beating a dead horse until it's a useless bloody pulp.
1 John 3:15-17
15 Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
16 THIS IS HOW WE KNOW WHAT LOVE IS: JESUS CHRIST LAID DOWN HIS LIFE FOR US. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.
17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?

Rape has nothing to do with lust.
Lust is basically acting upon love. Acting upon the hormone in your body that makes you attracted to someone.
Rape is about power. It's about domination.
Seriously, don't you people read any social studies?
Originally posted by shavixmirSorry Shav, and you really don't know how hard this is for me to say, I actually agree with dj2becker on this one (hangs head in shame). Lust is a primal sexual instinct of which power and domination are a part, submission is also a part sometimes and other times equality is a part. Rape comes about through an extreme urge to follow the power and domination side of lust. Most people keep this side of lust well under control, and when done so it can be fun and safe. But others do not have this ability and are driven to allow it too much prominence in their mental makeup, this leads them to put their own sexual drive before the rights of others.
No.
