What an excellent idea!! Hope it helps, @Debp. It's great to see you, btw! :)

I also dealt with this at times in the past to varying degrees. I know other trauma survivors who struggle with this. Once the source of stress is addressed and you're able to process through some things, it should get better.

@Holy999 What are you trying to ask?

No way, sis. You did nothing wrong. This is an issue the OP has with God and has nothing to do with anything you said or asked. *hugs*

Yes, I agree. But the OP is obviously either not a believer, or has been so wounded they do not know or care to know the character of God. If someone has had a real experience with God through Jesus Christ, their heart will seek Him out and desire to know Him deeper. And that means asking Him to...

Those verses are speaking of consensual relations. I've addressed it 2 or 3 times. That is enough. You seem to have something against God and refuse to see the truth. That being the case, I believe I have no further need to discuss it .....with you. I will, however, discuss this with others who...

Exactly. And she didn't resist, nor cry out. If it was force/rape, Holy Spirit would have inspired the writer to use another word as in verse 25, which is translated "force" but also could mean to seize upon, conquer, catch, prevail, restrain (you get the idea). Verses 28 and 29 are talking...

There are a lot of ways of "crying out." When it is a child who is violated, the verses I quoted yesterday in the New Testament would apply. Someone has caused a "little one" to stumble or has offended a little one....woe to that person. But speaking out, breaking silence once a person feels...

Plainly, verses 28 and 29 are not speaking about force. The previous verses were clearly speaking of force/rape. She cried out and did not consent. She was not in sin, but his sin was equated with murder and is worthy of death. In verses 28 and 29, she isn't betrothed and they both have...

Hello, brother. I've been wondering if there is a story behind your choice for your profile photo. Or maybe you just like black jaguars? (Is it a jaguar?)

Well, you would be wrong. lol I looked up the words in the Hebrew meanings and "humbled" is the best fit within the context of the surrounding verses. KJV used the word "humbled" rather than "raped" or "forced."

The stained glass can be beautiful, but there is a lot of catholic "art" that is downright evil. These are just some examples. And there are a multitude of these, as well as nudity in catholic art. So I'm not a fan of catholic art...

It is related and certainly not irrelevant. I'd like to know your purpose in creating this thread. Are you an advocate for rape? Do you believe God advocates forcing a woman (young or old, or a child)?

You're using a version of the Bible that chose a flawed interpretation of the word the KJV translated as "humbled." You have to take all scripture as a whole, because taking a verse out of context can result in flawed interpretation.

If a child is forced and that child cries out and cries out, and they are only hurt worse ...they learn not to use their voice to cry out. So then, in order to survive, they create parts of themselves who cry or scream (inside) and other parts of themselves whose job is to handle those...

Like I said, initially, without studying it out, it seemed that verses 28 and 29 were speaking of force/rape, but as I looked deeper, I understood it wasn't. It is speaking to a case where a man had desires toward a female and she consented (evident in that she didn't cry out, an indication she...

As for the child... From experience, I can say... she still cried. Even if she was not safe to cry or scream outwardly, she did so inside...or afterward when she was alone.

I just saw this ...I think I found at least some of the answer.
