It's strange to think there might be a correlation between sexual abuse and horticultural action. The lord surely moves in mysterious ways.

Well, anytime. That stuff never goes out of style.

Indeed, I'll never forget how quickly a woman can be brought to climax with a dildo strapped to a Black and Decker power-saw. Inspirational and time efficient!

In O.T. times they killed of the whole family when some guy stole something out of Jaraco or however you spell it. So if a man rapes someone I say kill him. But not his family. For an eye for an eye.

I would love to hear your response to my post on this thread's page 2...

Edit: ...Even though it has typos 🙁

Hmm...remind me again when Jesus says "eye for an eye." Oh, that's right.

I seem to recall a passage where Jesus [b]specifically says not to follow the idea of an "eye for an eye" but instead emphasizes "love your enemies."

Hmm... 😕 😕 😕 😕 😕

I agree.
You need to love your enemy by truly showing them that Christ lives in you. Then they might see it and they also might repent and turn from their wicked ways.

I'm afriad I don't understand your perspective here...

In what way do we "show" that we are Christian? By taking the "eye for an eye" philosophy? I don't think Jesus meant show your enemies love passive-agressively...

I don't, I do think though an eye for an eye though.

"An eye for an eye" is Old Testament teaching, not New Testament teaching.

Are the Ten Commandments Old Testament or New Testament teaching?

So, your girlfriend didn't 'ease' your horny state?

Do you think that Jesus ever got horny? If not, why not?

I'm not so sure he did. Didn't he kill that husband and wife who gave money to the church but lied about what percentage it was?
Didn't Paul also write that the government is ordained by God to use the sword to defend justice?
So it sounds like God hasn't changed all that much.
