When read in isolation, unsurprisingly, you would call it a stupid law.

Are you sure. Are you sure about that

It is misogny what?

Werent you earlier advised to be objective, factual, unprejudiced and most of all, be well-informed, as you next comment or post remarks
Are you saying you dont know or dont understand the context of how that law came about?
Why don't you give your own interpretation so I can learn more and correct my mistakes

There are many arguments over the use of the word “rape” and what is meant by “hold”, “seize” or “force”. Honestly, I have to wonder how much of this is revisionist viewings of the Bible in light of the modern day viewings of things.

Let’s look at 22:25–27, for example, where it’s clear what we’re discussing:

English: “But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.”

Very clearly a rape, right? (we won’t get into the fact that if a woman is raped in a city, she’s guilty of a crime…that’s pretty sick, really)

Now, let’s look at a straight, character-by-character translation: Deuteronomy 22:25 Hebrew Text Analysis

I see the word “force” and “lie”, so yes, let’s keep running with it…we’re discussing rape.

now, 22:28–29:

English: “If a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.”

So, what is meant by that, “seizes”. Some people seem to feel that means, basically, a seduction. So, once again, let’s look at the Hebrew: Deuteronomy 22:28 Hebrew Text Analysis

Hmmm…”lay hold”…in my eyes, this doesn’t sound like some poetic phrase…this sounds, again, like a captive of some sort. Sadly, we never see this particular verbiage used again in the Bible, so we have nothing to compare it with. So, it really seems to be in “the eye of the beholder.”

But, let’s look at something else that may make things a little clearer:

22:13–21: discusses penalties for lying about virginal status of a bride

22:22: penalty for adultery

22:23–24: penalty for raping an engaged woman in the city (assumed to be a virgin due to tradition)

22:25–27: penalty for raping an engaged woman in the country

22:28–29: penalty for having sex with a non-engaged virgin

This is…interesting…either we have to say that 22:28–29 is talking about the penalty for rape (as the pattern has been set by 23–27)…or the Bible has set forth no penalty whatsoever for raping a woman who isn’t engaged.

I’m not sure which is worse, but I’m inclined to say, due to the established pattern, 22:28–29 is discussing the penalty for rape. I feel very confident in making that determination.

[quote author= post=69033318]My sincere opinion....


Talk about it with your wife and don't pass blame around. While it is important to share your worries, do so within the context of the relationship rather than asserting how "you" are causing "me" to worry. That is where worry turns to blame.

If your partner is able to pinpoint a problem (such as stress at work or feeling tired all the time), work together to find a solution. You can also seek medical help if needed. Therapy is another good option also.

It is important to remember that solving any relationship problem—whether it be sexual, financial, or emotional—is a process and not an event. Take your time, be patient.

When laws supersede each other,
why would you think Jesus has to and/or needed to abolish the law or any law for that matter Ruth'. Hmm?

You brought up Deutoronomy 22:28-29 first, didnt you?
You must know a thing or two about Deutoronomy 22:28-29
and that's really why, I requested you explain how Deutoronomy 22:28-29 was applicable back then
and let's both see whether or not it's something that today stands the test of time
(i.e. explain how, when, where it was applicable then and let's both see how it is applicable now)

Facepalm.
Are you sure you know much of this Deutoronomy 22:28-29 you're talking on about here?
Deuteronomy 22:28-29 says that if a man sees any virgin and rapes her and he is caught. He is to marry that woman, pay her father 50 shekels of silver and can never divorce her. This is a stupid law. The woman has no say in the matter at all. It is misogyny.

What do you understand by the law?

According to you christians God is an unchangeable God. Even the jesus said that he didn't come to abolish the law itself. So if it was applicable then it is applicable now.

Even if you say that was a different time with less morality we are talking about Yahweh here. This was a god who parted the red sea, covered an entire country in three days darkness, caused a worldwide flood. If god despised rape, he would put up a law punishing rapists and not telling victims to marry their rapists.
