In which case, it can't be relied upon, because it's too easy to ignore, as anyone, even Mr. Brain, would have to admit.

But that's what their moral compass is telling them to do, so meh back at yours. And God seems to agree more with them than you. So how good is your moral compass? It's no better than your opinion. Meh, indeed.

We started homeschooling our kids in the 1990s. There were plenty of times we questioned how to do it better, or whether we were up to the task, but seeing the results in our kids (including one still in process), I can't imagine missing the wonderful opportunities we had to see and be directly...

Hmm. You might not fit in here. (Kidding!)

And that's the interviewER! The interviewEE is often worse.

That moral compass you don't know the origin of? How trustworthy is it? What if it says a man can marry another man?

Then you must be against flat earth.

The "again" suggests that it happened once (or more) previously, and then wouldn't EVER happen again. If the event in question is the mountains being covered by water and it happened multiple times prior to creation being completed, and the verse is saying it wouldn't happen again (ever) after...

I think the word "again" rules that out.

Well, you definitely win the prize for responding to the most posts at one time. You might be right, as earlier verses talk about stretching out the heavens and laying foundations of the earth. But verse 9 seems to speak of a permanency to the water's boundaries after a flood. Psalms 104:9...

That's the second problem. It introduces the third problem: If the penalty for forced sex in marriage is as severe as death or lifelong imprisonment, as several people have suggested it should be, and the evidence threshold of additional witnesses is impossible to achieve, it becomes a handy way...

Ps 104 is thought by some to be speaking of the flood: Psalms 104:6-8 (ESV) 6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment; the waters stood above the mountains. 7 At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they took to flight. 8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down to the...

You give a definition of rape that not everybody agrees on. So how do you know yours is correct?

Not to mention the obvious limitation God included in his promise--that he only wouldn't destroy the earth again with a flood.

Because you decide? (Please apply question to both paragraphs.)

Are you ok with capital punishment for rape? All rape? Like this: Deuteronomy 22:25-27 (KJV) 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; [there is] in...

I'm saying it isn't rape. It might be something else, but not rape. What do you propose to do to someone who rapes his wife?

But is it rape?

Where does a "moral compass" come from? You almost answered in that last post, but it was half-hearted at best. Do you believe in God? Do you think there is some being that has both a moral discernment and the power to enforce it? If you don't like the title "God", what would you call him...
