Utah Man Justifies Child Molestation With Bible: God Doesn’t ‘Set Age Limits’

if one wants to ‘justify’ something , one can always find something that suits one’s claim.
People with perverse, psychotic inclinations and desires , have particular ‘ abilities’ to create theories that refer either to ‘God’ or some other ‘Higher Powers ‘ that ‘made them do it’.
Anything that shifts the blame from the accused himself.
The Gospel clearly says:
“but whoever causes one of these LITTLE ONES who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea…”
Matt 18:6
ed note–there is no twisting anything to make things fit. The Old Testament is clear on this matter–children are fair game for sexual abuse, and we can be rest assured that this was exactly what Jesus was referencing in His comments found in Matt 18. If He were truly a follower of the Old Testament, He would have added the required caveat–‘EXCEPT those children who have not known man by sleeping with him’–just another piece of evidence showing that there was nothing Judaic about Jesus and that He came to destroy what was a perverse, criminal mindset and way of life.

ad 1 ed note.
you have to remember that the times and morality were completely different then .
The early Christiantity did NOT condemn slavery , which at that time was considered as something normal . In the O.T. stoning was part of the punishment for severe sins.
Now we ,of course, consider this completely unacceptable. yet, the Catholic Church supported
( for all good reasons) the capital punishment for grave offences .
Now the V-2 sect is against it.

Deuteronomy 22:25-27
“But if in the open country a man meets a young woman who is betrothed, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her SHALL DIE.
But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed NO offense punishable by death…”
Leviticus 20:13 “..If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. ”
ed note–As nature and natural law indicate, God is constant and not changing. What was murder yesterday is murder today. Same with theft, lying, rape, etc.
In the first case you cite, it is specifically dealing with a BETROTHED woman who is already considered another man’s future property, so the crime in not in assaulting her, but rather in robbing another man of her virginity and therefore ‘depreciating’ her value as his future wife.
In the second case, it deals specifically with homosexual activity and has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the original issue of molesting children.

‘..God is constant and not changing…”
I do not know exactly what you mean by that. God is a PERSON and as such He is capable of emotions and the O.T. ( as well as N.T. ) have plenty examples of that. (” ..this or that pleased God”, “this or that angered God..”.
When Jews wanted to stone the woman ,Jesus did NOT rebuke them FOR that very ACT OF stoning, BUT for the fact that they themselves were gulity of many severe sins ( maybe even similar to the ones of that woman) , so basically they were hypocrites and ,as we know, He despised hypocrisy with His whole heart.
“…As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. “Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The LAW OF MOSES says to stone her.
What do you say?” They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!” ..”
ed note–if there was nothing unjust in stoning her to death and if He truly believed in the law of Moses, which says she MUST–not ‘may’–be stoned, then Jesus would have either sanctioned it (as the law did not stipulate that those doing the stoning must be free of sin) or else–obviously being free of sin–He would have done it Himself.
As your quote reminds us, the entire event began as an exercise with the Jews trying to entrap Him into giving an answer they could then use against Him, as they did when they asked about paying taxes to Caesar. You are conflating things here that do not relate to each other.

It must be great to be as “Godly”, as Marta 15, and obviousl. to ‘Ceeeeatholics’,and other extreme Zoo Christians ,that means being more Jew ,than the Jews !
ed note–no, Dante, I don’t think that Marta is necessarily ‘self-righteous’ as you intimate. Rather, I think she is trying to mix oil and water and has not yet grasped the fact that the 2 aren’t mixable. I think her intentions are good but her methods need some calibration. We were all there at one time in our lives, I know I was

‘..Yes, there were Judaic prophecies concerning the coming of the Messiah, but both of us know that none of these prophecies paint a picture of the Jesus we know…”

actually MANY of them are ( Psalm 22 , Issiah 53 and more) were very precise and exact.
To the last detail.
The fact that majority of the ancient Israeli didn’t accept Jesus as the Messiah and prefered listening to their faithless leaders is very similar to OUR Times.
Majority of the so- called Catholics chooses to believe their faithless, heretical, apostatic , modern, corrupted V-2 hierarchy , instead of the Teaching of the Magisterium of the pre-V2 Church. Why?? Because it is more ‘worldly’, more leninet, more “who am I to judge’ type.
It actually mixes water and oil ,and many love the taste and the look of it.
The Jews ( Judeans) of Jesus’s Times were also more inclined to believe in their worldly authorities , in their already Established Order than in the teachings of some strange man, who not only was poor and humble , but also eventually was crucified like a common criminal.
People from that time were mostly illiterate, they didn’t have access to books, articles,etc.
They relied mostly on the authority of their scribes , teaches etc. For them their word , their opinion was the highest authority. Nowadays people do have access to books, writings, internet and everything e and ?Majorty of them do not want to bother with anything.
They prefer to follow the lives of celebrities.
ed note–the ‘leaders’ they followed in rejecting Jesus as the Messiah were men such as Moses, who instructed them that if any ‘dreamer of dreams’ came along preaching something different than what he preached to them that this ‘dreamer’ was to be rejected and put to death to wit–
‘If a prophet or a dreamer of dreams arises among you and gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or wonder that he tells you comes to pass, (Jesus’ miracles) and if he says, ‘Let us go after other gods,’ which you have not known, (Jesus’ teachings concerning humility, love of neighbor, forgiveness, charity towards all, etc) you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams. For the Lord your God is testing you, to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. But that prophet or that dreamer of dreams shall be put to death, because he has taught rebellion against the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.’ Deuteronomy, 13
You are trying to make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear here, Marta, and as much as I love a good discussion, nevertheless there is something to respected in what Jesus had to say about ‘casting pearls’ and therefore, as the old song from Billy Joel goes I’m ‘moving out’.

Sister Marta, your understand very little of anything, and certainly not true history, or the horror that is the Old Testament. ….and Christs TOTAL abolition of it.
I attended your Ceeeeeatholic “Schools”, and suffered abuse from nothing but crazies in their system ….thankfully nothing sexual ( which the losers are obsessed by, and see you are to ) ,some of whom where arrested, thrown out, or ended up in mental institutions.
I know by your condensending rudness ,and love of punishment analogies ,and demonizing what you where, and are.
So don’t pull it with me. i had ENOUGH from your insanity in my life, and the planet, and you never will be ‘my amigo’.
So keep the 4 th grade Spanish lesson, to yourself.
As I told you before this is not Jew Henry Makow, or EWTN ,but the Ugly Truth, and trolls conscious, or unconscious are not tolerated here ….in Mark Glenn you ran up against the WRONG one.

All varieties of ‘jews’ fall. They claim they are special and above all others, but they too fall victim to man’s ego, materialism, and primitive conscious. They are nothing special.
