I was only relating my experience and my grandmother's opinion. At the time when the story occured, I just was too young to have a personal opinion about human sexuality. I did know there was a God; but I did not know what His position is on any kind of sex. However, I did learn as a teen, when I read the Bible the first time. God's position is to love everyone; even persons who have to be controled from doing harm. Jesus came to the earth and said he was the fulfillment of the law (presumably the Law of Moses). He then said "I give you a new commandment, that you love each other." Our legal system takes care to protect children from sexual abuse as well as they can. Being livid with hate only harms the hater. We understand little about mental illness, demonic posession, or the power of Satan in this present system. "Judge not, least you be judged." "He who is without sin, cast the first stone." The Bible also makes it clear that there will be a Judgement Day. Then Jesus, being given all power, will judge the Nations. It is for sure that those refusing to love their neighbors will be judged infit for everlasting life. We should all seek forgiveness through Jesus for our own sins and not add hatred to the list of sins against ourselves. Read your Bible. |
