"Are you saying you can choose what you like from the bible and disregard what you don't like."\n\nThat is the basis of Christianity.

He married her when she was 6 and had sex with her when she was 9! Which would get you a long jail sentence in the U.K.

yeah, but answer this....if a woman was raped, should she be forced to give birth to the child of her rapist and have that constant reminder? that is the truly sick thing in this situation. and even if it was just a highschool girl who did an irresponsible thing.....why ruin her life AND the life of her unborn child?? i am totally and completely prochoice, and believe that abortion should absolutely be legalized.

sadly your friend is the victom of a good christian upbringing! jesus brought the word of love and pease. man, invented a religion! in this religion a bunch of wackoos got together and dreamed up a lot of sick ideas and made them law. so for 2000 years people fearing eternal damnation have followed these sick laws. now that people have out grown the need for self punishment, a lot of these sick ideas are now criminal offences. for example, your freind was referring to the old addage, "spare the rod, spoil the child" this means you can beat the hell out of your children and feel good about it because," GOD demands it!"  now days, IT'S CALLED CHILD ABUSE!!  a hopfully  the bitch will get turned in and have to sit her ass in jail or at least have her kid taken away from her! don't you just love that old time religion?

this is a deep question and needs details i dont have. so it will be better to ask a scholar.\ni just wanna comment on the rape issue. first of all the 4 witnesses is for the adultery case not rape.\n\nrape victims are victims and their statement is automatically accepted unless there were clear signs of Lying. \nthe rape victim gets no punishment al all, why should her? the rapist get the same punishment as adultery. the punishment differs if he was married or not married. if the Rapist is married i believe he gets the death penalty but if he's not he gets lashed I'm not sure how many times.\n\n5-sex with a young girl within marriage who is mature enough to get married religiously speaking is not forbidden in any religion. it's not accepted in our society now adays but back in the days that was normal as long as it's marriage.\n\nbut if the child was raped then again punishment will be as for rape.\n\nnot at all, why would i insult you thanks for asking this good question. \nShariah laws are a lot and complicated and need STUDY. the average Muslim doesn't have all the answers when it comes to shariah laws that's why Muslims consult scholars on those matters.\n\nyou can ask a scholar on any Islamic website and i hope you get the answers you are looking for.\n\ntry this website\nhttp://www.islamtomorrow.com/'\n\npeace.

He couldn't have been married and had children without knowledge to the public. People like to use the 'possible' as a way of arguing their own disbelief. They take an unproven concept and try to get Christians to justify their beliefs based on a non_believers inability to accept that they themselves have proved nothing.

The New Roman Catholics bible does say that the very birth of a girl is a "total loss".  It also says her father can rape her, he can sell her into slavery, and that a father can have childen with his own daughters.  Widows are passed around like property if their husband died without a son and his brothers rape her unitl she produces one.  Jesus himself in the bible considers the best of men to be those who have never been with women and have stayed far from women.  I'm a muslim woman, and contrary to popular stereotype, islamically, women can do just as much as the men.

he "married" her when she was 6 years old. He "consumated" the marriage (some term this rape) when she was 9 years old

Personally, I do not believe that we need to change the commandments for this. While the woman will have lost her virginity after being raped, the Christian religion is not supposed to hold it against them. This is what the Bible says about rape.\nBut if in the field the man finds the girl who is engaged, and the man forces her and lies with her, then only the man who lies with her shall die. But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this case. (Deut. 22:26-27)\nBasically the Bible indicates that there is no sin on behalf of the girl. This does not mean that the girl cannot marry after this, nor does it mean that she should start a life of promiscuity, though many do because they feel it doesn't matter anymore. The Bible states that the man who forces her should pay the consequences, not the woman. I would think that the church is supposed to treat them as a virgin since they really had no choice in the matter. I do not see a reason to change the commandments on this, the Bible says the Lord is the same yesterday, today and forever.

I agree. very nasty. the Bible says one woman to each man, and vise versa. this is paraphased, of course.

Inmates can marry while in prison.\n\nI think the article's wording is incorrect, in regards to "fathering" 4 children...His wife may have had children from a previous relationship.

Oh wow, is that in the bible?  Some little kids get eaten by a bear for callng some old dude bald?  Wow, now that goes beyond abuse..it's murder.

No, it's not unrealistic.  My understanding of Jewish law at that time was that it was expected if him to marry and have children.  Why it's considered such sacrilige for that to have happened is confusing to me. Just because the Bible didn't mention it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Very good questions.  Unfortunately, there is not clear cut answer.  It depends on the heart of the person.  So, on your first question, does rape constitute abortion...no it doesn't.  However, only He knows the situation of the girl, there may be good reasons for it...we cannot judge.  \nThe second question, if a person smokes etc...is it suicide.  No it isn't, and yes it can be.  If they know better, keep doing it and just don't care, then yes it may be considered suicide, however, if they don't know any better...(think of all those kids in Asia and no one teaches them any better...that can go for a lot of other countries as well) they have no knowledge that what they are doing is harmful to themselves.\nSpare the rod, spoil the child, is not gospel.  It does not mean we should physically punish our children, but it does mean we need to discipline them.\nDeath penalty is a tough one.  Eye for an eye is the law of Moses.  Christ taught a higher law on the sermon on the mount.  However, there is something wrong with the idea of a killer sitting in prison living off the tax money of others...I do believe in the death penalty in certain cases, but it really is hard to judge.  Good thing in the end, we won't have to...God will know our hearts and judge us accordingly.

First of all DNA , you tell me can all women afford to pay for DNA ? in all countrys ? of course not.\n\nWomen emtionally cannot handel 4 men nor physically, this would mean she has to have sex atleast 4 times a day everyday with each man, lets say they al like sex twice a day then thats 8 times a day, and the womans body cannot stand this, read the medical reports of prostitutes and thier wrecked cervix's\n\nWhen is Polygamy allowed in Islam? \n\nThe sections of this article are: \n\n- When is polygamy allowed in Islam? \n- What was the purpose of Noble Verse 4:3? \n   - The way I read Noble Verse 4:3. \n- Why didn't Allah Almighty directly prohibit polygamy? \n- Why then did Prophet Muhammad practice polygamy? \n- Can anyone be absolutely fair? \n- Too much illiterate and starving kids damage the society and Islam. \n- What if the person is rich and can afford polygamy? \n- Conclusion. \n\n\nMarriage from multiple women in Islam might not be allowed for those who might result in damaging the society with their marriage by bringing more illiterate, poor, and in many cases starving children to the society.\n\nLet us look at Noble Verse 4:3 "If ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans, marry women of your choice, Two or three or four; but if ye fear that ye shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (a captive) that your right hands possess, that will be more suitable, to prevent you from doing injustice." Notice how Allah Almighty orders men to be either fair to their wives or never marry more than one wife.\n\nLet us look at Noble Verse 4:129 "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire: But turn not away (from a woman) altogether, so as to leave her (as it were) hanging (in the air). If ye come to a friendly understanding, and practise self-restraint, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."  Here we clearly see that Allah Almighty tells men that they will never be fair to their wives.  \n\nLet us see why then Allah Almighty temporarily ordered polygamy but yet very highly discouraged it, and why I personally believe from the Noble Quran that polygamy should not be allowed today to most Muslim men in the Muslim world.\n\n \n\nWhat was the purpose of the Noble Verse 4:3? \n\nNoble Verse 4:3 was revealed to Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him in Madina after he migrated to it from Mecca and established an Islamic state there right after the battle of Uhud in which the Muslims not only had lost badly against the Pagans, but also suffered a dramatic decrease in the number of Muslim men.  The Muslim men before that battle were approximately 700.  They became only 400 after the battle.  This loss had left so many Muslim women (1) Widows, and (2) Not able to get married if they were single. \n\nTo make matters even worse, the Muslims had faced yet another battle against the Pagans in Mecca and its neighboring tribes who wanted to attack the Muslims in Madina to finish off Islam once and for all, and by the Jews and the Christians in Madina who betrayed the Muslims in the "battle of Trench" after signing a defense treaty with Muhammad peace be upon him against the Pagans.  \n\nAll praise due to Allah Almighty.  With Allah's Will and Mercy, the Muslims had miraculously won the battle against the Pagans of Mecca and drove them back to where they came from, and then attacked the Jews and the Christians who betrayed the defense treaty and kicked those hypocrites out of Madina forever! \n\nThese continuous battles against the Muslims were very costly in terms of Muslim men's lives.  The women had to be taken care of one way or another.  For this reason, Allah Almighty had revealed the Noble Verse 4:3 to Muhammad peace be upon him to solve the social problems that the Muslims were facing.  That is why at the very beginning of the Noble Verse 4:3 we see Allah Almighty setting a conditional clause for Orphans
