Its sad to see how una carry other people law for head, OP these laws u quote in the bible is it the same with the laws that guided ur ancestors before the European invasion? Are these laws part of the Nigerian constitution that u live in now? When these biblical laws were made, it was directed to the people who received it, nothing concern you ..i rest my case

The Bible is a book about our ancestors. The laws were directed to our ancestors and some of the practices can still be found today among us.

God is kind, who do you think the focus of verses 16 and 17 is about, the man or the woman?

God was saying you deceive a woman, sleep with her and get away with it, I will force you to marry her but I won't force her to be married to you, I will protect her rights and the woman in question is seduced virgin.

Exod.22.16-17 "If a man seduces a virgin who is not engaged to be married and sleeps with her, he must pay the marriage price and marry her. If her father absolutely refuses to give her away, the man must still pay the marriage price for virgins. (MSB)

I am not being sentimental, does make it sound like God will force two people to get married because they had sex. I asked you if Abraham married Hagar, you didn't answer, that is just one example. Were the men of Israel who slept with strange foreign women forced to marry them or seperate from them.

The word used is enticed in one translation. In a sense, there was consent on the part of the lady although the man "bribed" her. Rape and adultery attracts death punishment.

Deuteronomy 22
23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man’s wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

25 But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26 Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27 for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.

I believe God intends that a woman give her virginity only to her husband and stick to him alone throughout his life time.

13 If a man takes a wife and, after sleeping with her, dislikes her 14 and slanders her and gives her a bad name, saying, “I married this woman, but when I approached her, I did not find proof of her virginity,” 15 then the young woman’s father and mother shall bring to the town elders at the gate proof that she was a virgin. 16 Her father will say to the elders, “I gave my daughter in marriage to this man, but he dislikes her. 17 Now he has slandered her and said, ‘I did not find your daughter to be a virgin.’ But here is the proof of my daughter’s virginity.” Then her parents shall display the cloth before the elders of the town, 18 and the elders shall take the man and punish him. 19 They shall fine him a hundred shekels[a] of silver and give them to the young woman’s father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.

20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.

Romans 7
1 Do you not know, brothers-for I am speaking to men who know the law-that the law has authority over a man only as long as he lives? 2 For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage. 3 So then, if she marries another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress. But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress, even though she marries another man

JAVA

Java
is an object oriented programming language originally developed by
James Gosling at Sun Microsystems (which has since merged into Oracle
Corporation). The language derives much of its syntax from C and C++,
but it has fewer low-level facilities than either of them. Java can be
used to create Desktop Applications, Web Applications, Console
Applications and Mobile Applications.

Javanian, learning Programming and other IT stuff, is it exclusively for people with Computer Science, Computer Engineering, etc, background?

No, I studied accounting but I am now a Java/Android programmer.

Next time just DIALit. I am sure an App like DIALit will help you avoid such mistakes. It is available on Google Play Store.
