court who decided Roe v. Wade in the first place in 1973). Religious

The following are responses to common modern objections
raised to the Bible:
1.
"God gave many commandments, but he never gave a commandment against
rape."

"But if the man meets the engaged woman out in the country, and he rapes
her, then only the man must die. Do nothing

A major misunderstanding arises when we
attempt to take every single commandment in the Bible and apply them to each of
us personally, as people living in the 21st century. Some commandments, such as the 613
commandments found in the Law (Torah), were never meant to apply to anyone
other than the Jewish people (Exodus 19:3-6, 31:16, 34:27; Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00157949621941282147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4000522766970919505.post-87451375631616003212014-09-21T19:58:00.000-07:002014-09-21T19:58:03.270-07:00Was Jesus A Liar?<!--[if gte mso 9]>
