Where was god when I was raped?

I want to add another point of view here.  While you had to endure this horrible experience God did not do this to you. More likely another human did.  The point is this, What if some angelic beings were made to think that there was something that God would never allow and then what if they thought he was afraid of it and thats why he won't allow it.  Well the only answer for that is to let "Freewill Reign" with all the chaos that it brings. In the end, God remains blameless and omnipotent and then they (the angels) will know it without questions humans also will know it. So since eternity is without end while life here & now is temporal we find that God's ways are different than ours. \n\nI am sincerely sorry that you had to endure such a horrible experience.  I hope one day you will be made whole if not in this life most certainly in the life eternal that God offers.\n\nLastly, all unrepentant rapist will be punished, if not in this life certainly in the next, its just that judgement is reserved for a day not yet fulfilled.

Don't understand the question or how God relates to him cheating.  Some people find God when things are at their worst.  Its a good thing because their life has new purpose and they tend to look out for the common man.  Be glad he found God and be supportive if you are still with him.

God will deliver you if\nhe so chooses...if he does not...don't ask him why,\njust accept it...but keep your faith...remember Job\nHe was innocent...and the Lord allowed him to suffer,\nthere now...this may seem horrible...but the end of\nthe story of Job...is wonderful...he never lost his faith\nin God...even though his idiotic friends were nothing\nmore than more pain for Job to tollerate. Have Faith...\nGod will come through for you in His time!

Was your rapist caught? Mentally, the trauma that you felt during that event may cause you to react physically. Trauma causes pain.  The brain and the body is interconnected always. What the mind perceives the body will show. That is why you can't have an orgasm whenever you are doing anything sexual. You might put the event at the back of your head, but subconciously it's there lurking.\n\nI think you need to talk to someone who you trust or much better if she's a counselor. Or if you're uncomfortable with one, go to a sex therapist. \n\nWhy didn't you see a doctor? Did you report him? I do hope so.\n\nAnyway, good luck with that.

Because you sinned against god, this is the way he punishes you.  LOL, No seriously, go see the doctor if your worried about it, you may need medicine.

Go to  a hospital right away.  They have 'rape kits' there to help collect evidence to arrest your attacker.  They can also call the police for you.  \n\nAlway always remember it was not your fault and it was a horrible act commited against you that in no way lowers your worth.  After seeing the doctor and giving yourself time to recover physically perhaps see a therapist to help talk out your feelings.  Sometimes its easier to talk to someone you don't know.  Also remember you are not alone.  There are many of us out there who have been raped and are trying to stand tall.  Support groups can help you get throught this too.  After awhile, try telling yourself that while what happened to you was horrible, it was a small portion of your life and that to let it follow you around forever is giving your attacker control over your life long after that small moment is past.  Thats why therapy and support groups can be important.  The rape will make you different as we are all summations of what happens to us in life, but don't let it control you forever.  \n\n*HUGS*

The only thing you can do is be honest about what happened, and tell her how hurt you are that she does not believe you.\n\nYou should also talk to a rape crisis center so they can help you deal with what happened, they will give you the support you need and not judge you. \n\nBlessed be,\n\nGypsy

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. This is my part testimony. There is far too much to tell it all... it needs a book! \n\nMy first meeting with God was aged eight, I met Him inside a coma lasting months. I awoke, because the ambulance transferring me from one hospital to another, hit a bump in the road. I didn't want to be here, I just wanted to go back to the place I'd just left. \n\nA place, that was like no other place I've ever known before or since. Where love, and peace and joy, is so complete and pure, it affords us all the answers to all the questions, that you never knew you'd asked. It makes everything about us whole, and there is no feeling like it. Nothing in this life can ever match it. \n\nIt is the most non-judgemental love, forgiving and accepting, enveloping and safe, and without anybody telling me, I 'knew', I just 'knew', this was heaven, and I was in the arms of my Father, God. \n\nYet no one ever spoken in my home of God. Because, as I would learn much later, my dad was a serious atheist and mum was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, for marrying out. Religious believe, was a serious no go area in our home. \n\nI already had a happy disposition as a child, despite being bullied at home by older siblings. But, that first meeting with God (of many more since) would ensure, not only that I kept my optimistic and trusting nature, throughout many more varied and serious personal trials to come, it would afford me Faith... that would last forever. \n\nYou see, though the 'place' visually faded from my mind's eye, though the physical world intervened again and hurt me often, God allowed me to keep the 'vivid memory of the feelings' I had on the instant I awoke. In effect, He afforded me, the 'memory of the reality', which is, far more real to me, than anything in this sphere to this day. \n\nIt did and does, still afford me the personal knowledge and certainty of God's existence, of His love for me, of His constant protection, of an invisible shield, that stays around me forever. And I have never doubted since, though believe me, there is a power that tests me, to try and make me doubt, always trying to destroy my faith. But it never will. Though it never misses a trick. \n\nI am no one special. This shield is also yours to share. \n\nMy second experience of meeting God came through meeting Jesus, at age thirteen years. I was to discover exactly what the trilogy meant at a very young age. It was when I was asked by a friend to take her place teaching under fives at Sunday School one day, because she was away. \n\nI had never been to sunday School, let alone understood what the heck it meant. But I went in and did what she had said to do, read the nativity story to them from the bible, then let them draw a picture, then gave them stick on stars. \n\nBut I was troubled, I didn't think I was qualified to do what I was doing, I felt a burden of responsibilty for the children's hearts, what if I had done it wrong. \n\nI went home and pulled out the Bible that I'd never really read before (free school edition, supplied to all of us by the Gov back then) because, my Catholic Bible argued too much with C of E version when we had to do RE in class and read aloud. The teacher got fed up and was unable to answer my myriad questions about the differences. And, not least, I could not, would not, reconcile an angry old testament God, to the loving God I'd met. I was a rebel. \n\nSo, I stared at thirteen to read the story of the birth of Jesus, and I got caught inside His entire life, then through the whole of the New Testament, I couldn't put it down. \n\nIn between, when I had reached the crucifixion, I was on my knees in tears, wanting to be there, wanting to prevent it, angry, hurting, because this wonderful man had done such wonderful things and loved, even inhis dying, he forgave. \n\nAnd this man suited my heart, he felt as I felt about everyone,

God looks on the heart. A women who is raped is not an adulterer so in this situation it would also depend on the heart attitude.

Relax.  Just accept that fact that there is no god outside of yourself.  Go outside and breath the air for a while and stop thinking so hard on this stuff.  Sometimes you have to clear your mind to let the answers come.  There is no god punishing you, that is a myth.

I'm so sorry to read about what happened to you.  I pray that you are okay. \n\nGiven that the rape is something that you no doubt will carry with you for the rest of your life, I'd say your uncle got off fairly easy.  \n\nFive years in jail sounds like a long time, and I guess it is.  But he did something that will affect you for the rest of your life.  Five years seems like small potatoes compared to that.

Im not sure I understand your question. But if you are the victim of rape you need to seek help immediately. Obviously you have internet access, www.rainn.com

Have you ever read about Job.  He went through many many many trials and he still prevailed.  I know life can be rough at times and unfortunatly you will continue to go through hard times, they really never end.  But remember, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.  Turning away from your faith would be the wrong thing to do.  It's not that God isn't listening or answering your prayers.  He does listen and he will answer them.  God loves you very much, even when no one else seems to.  You should try talking to your preacher or someone in your church that you can trust. Tell them how you are feeling.  I suggest getting a prayer partner, someone who will help you pray for your needs.  Try smiling as much as you can today.  That will make you feel better too.  Good luck and God bless.

First off, I hope the rape was reported to the police.\nYour friend should talk to the pastor and let him know what happened.  If this has somehow changed your friends' life-for the good-she might consider giving her testimony in front of the congregation.  They have no reason or right whatsoever to keep her from continuing her ministry in the church (choir, SS, etc..).  But, at least speak to the pastor.  That way, if someone in the church has a problem with it and speaks to him about it, he can let them know what happened-with her permission-of course.

He's probably in the last place you'll look.\n\nI remember finding Jesus not long ago. I was released from the hospital after surviving acute acid reflex. I remember questioning my existence and my purpose her on Earth. I got home only to find my wife panting and smoking a cigarette lying on our wedding bed in a scantily clad nightie. I suspected she had been cheating on me and demanded she tell me who. She insisted that it was no one I knew. I felt as if I had walked in on something and perhaps the bastard was still there hiding. At first I looked under the bed...nothing. Then behind the curtains and in the hall. Again nothing. Then I just knew he was hiding in the closet. I swung open the door and there before my eyes, I found Jesus. The bastard. \n\nStunned and in a fit of anger I began to pummel the son of our lord about the nose and throat. Jesus, now bloody and crying, ran screaming from my house. \n\nI have tried to "turn the other cheek" since Jesus convened my wife, however I feel my marriage has been tainted with Christ love. \n\nTo make things, worse, I can't help but compare myself to Him.  The image of her eating of his body  . . . . I just can't compete with His divine stamina.  I can only bring her to orgasm once, but I'm sure that she enjoyed a second coming of Christ.  I'm not surprised that, with her sexy legs and full figure she was able to make Christ 'rise,' if you catch my drift.  I guess this is just my cross to bear.  \n\nI feel kind of stupid that I didn't see this coming. The evidence was there for months. I remember several times my wife crying out his name during sex.
