SEXUAL SINS OR NOT?
Sex has always played a big role in creation.
Animals act on instinct and thus procreate. Humans are different. Sex has the
purpose of procreation but also of bonding and enjoyment.
When talking about sex, things like marriage,
fornication, adultery, “consenting adults”, “friends with benefits”, “casual
sex”, “swinging”, homosexuality, bi-sexuality”, prostitution, zoophilia, rape,
incest, GSA (Genetic
Sexual Attraction), “avunculate
marriage”, sexbots, etc. come up.
This is not a scientific study on sex and
sexual relationships. We’ll look at general trends, behaviour of people in this
field, and gather info from various sources to get a general picture of what is
going on in the world of sexual relationships.
Sex according to the Bible:
Here I’ll refer to Kerby Anderson
summary:
God
created men and women in His image (Gen. 1:27) as sexual beings. But because of
sin in the world (Rom. 3:23), sex has been misused and abused (Rom. 1:24-25).
A
biblical perspective of human sexuality must recognize that sexual intercourse
is exclusively reserved for marriage for the following purposes. First, it
establishes the one-flesh union (Gen. 2:24-25; Matt. 19:4-6). Second, it
provides for sexual intimacy within the marriage bond. The use of the word
“know” indicates a profound meaning of sexual intercourse (Gen. 4:1). Third,
sexual intercourse is for the mutual pleasure of husband and wife (Prov.
5:18-19). Fourth, sexual intercourse is for procreation (Gen. 1:28).
Sex is very powerful and can be
compared to nuclear energy. Within certain specifications of containment it is
very useful, without the bounds of containment it is very dangerous en even
very destruct full and can cause disasters and lead to death
In the
upcoming “pages” we will look closer at the various types of sexual relations
for example fornication, adultery, prostitution, rape, homosexuality, pornography, sexbots, necrophilia,
etc.
These pages are mainly put together from other
sources, written by various people, on these matters. Credit is given and
sources are quoted.
SOME
OF THE INFO MIGHT BE DISTRUBING TO SOME PEOPLE, BUT THE PURPOSE IS TO PORTRAY
WHAT GOING ON IN THE WORLD. JUST AS THE BIBLE ADDRESS THESE THINGS DIRECTLY IN
VARIOUS PLACES.

TOP 10 COUNTRIES
WITH MAXIMUM RAPE CRIMES
by Ejaz Khan August 27, 2017, 10:31 pm
Rape is a particularly complex crime to analyse, in several
parts of the world, it is very rarely reported. Women in some countries are
much less likely to have their complaint recorded, due to the extreme social
stigma cast on women who have been raped, or subjected to violence or the fear
of being disowned by their families.
Rape and other sexual assaults statistics are commonly
available in advanced countries, and are becoming more common. Large
numbers of rapes go unreported throughout the world. Here, we’ve presented the
statistics for 10 renowned countries with maximum rape crimes. You would be
amazed to see that the most developed countries like America, Canada, Sweden
and United Kingdom are the most immersed in this crime. About 36% of women
globally have experienced either physical or sexual intimate violence. In U.S.
83% of girls aged 12 to 16 have experienced some form of sexual harassment in
public schools. In England, 1 out of 5 women (aged 16 to 59) experience some
form of sexual violence. Following is a detailed list of countries with maximum
rape crimes.
TOP 10 COUNTRIES WITH
MAXIMUM RAPE CRIMES:
10. DENMARK AND
FINLAND
One out of three women in Europe have suffered some form of physical or sexual
assault and 5% have been raped.
According to a 2014 study published by the
European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights, approximately 47% of women
surveyed in Finland were said to have suffered physical and/or sexual abuse;
And 52 % of women in Denmark were said to have suffered physical and/or sexual
abuse. Finland was one of the last countries in the EU to criminalize marital
rape, making it illegal in 1994.
More than 1 in 10 of the women interviewed
indicated that they experienced some form of sexual violence by an adult before
they were 15 years old. One out of 10 had experienced some form of sexual
violence since the age of 15, one in 20 had been raped. And over 1 out of 5 had
experienced physical and/or sexual violence from either a current or previous
partner. Only 13 % of women reported their most serious incident to the police.
(Source).
Zimbabwe is at 9th position with maximum rape crimes. At least one woman is
raped every 90 minutes in zimbabwe. According to the latest statistics by
Zimbabwe National Statistics (ZimStat), 500 women were sexually abused monthly
– about 16 women being raped daily.
A total of 1 524 cases were reported during the
first 3 months of the year, up from 1 285 recorded in the same period last
year. Of these reported case, 780 are children (ages from 11 to 16 years) while
276 were children aged between 5 and 10 years. However, there are fears that
the number could be higher as some cases go unreported. (Link).
According to UNICEF, Child rape up 42 percent in
Zimbabwe. It said the number of cases of rape of minors reported to police
surged from 2,192 in 2010 to 3,112 in 2014. Many other cases likely went
unreported in a climate of secrecy and denial.
In Australia the reported rape rate per 100,000 people is relatively high. During the year 2012, an estimated 51,200 Australians aged 18 years and over were a victim of sexual assault. Almost a third (30%) of victims of sexual assault had the most recent incident they experienced reported to the police.
According to news.com, 1 out of 6 Australian women has to face the torture
of rape by a non-partner, compared to one in 14 women around the world. It said
that Australian women aged over 15 are victims of rape. Australia (with New
Zealand in the research) came third in the worldwide study with 16.4 % of women
reporting being raped by someone other than a partner.
Karen Willis, the NSW Rape Crisis Centre
executive officer, says more than 70 % of these sexual assaults are carried out
by family members, friends, work or school colleagues. A further 29 % of rapes
are perpetrated by someone the woman meets socially or occur on a date. Just 1%
of rapes are committed by strangers, she said.
7. Canada
Among all violent crimes reported to police, sexual assault showed a rapid increase in reported rates in Canada. According to huffingtonpost, there are 460,000 sexual assaults in the country every year. Its said that 33 out of every 1,000 sexual assault cases are reported to the police, and 29 are recorded as a crime.

One out of 4 North American women has to face
the torture of rape during their lifetime. 11% of women have physical injury
resulting this torture. According to the statistics,
only 6% of incidents are reported to the police. Over 80% of victims are women,
maximum incidents occur in the home and 80% of assailants are friends and
family of the victim. The most disturbing fact is that 83% of disabled women
will be sexual assaulted during their lifetime. About all sexual assault
victims, 17% are girls and 15% are boys under 16.
In 2013, The Roast Busters scandal exposed the
truth about rape in New Zealand. A group of young men from West Auckland,
calling themselves “Roast Busters”, who allegedly sought to intoxicate underage
girls to gang rape them.
According to a report by British medical journal The Lancet sexual assault rate in
New Zealand is far higher than the world average. It placed the country at the
third highest rate with 16.4 % of its female population, alongside Australia.
According to the Minister of Justice Publication
Report; Every two hours an attack involving sexual violence is happening in New
Zealand. Statistics now suggest that 1 out of 3 girls and one out of six boys
are likely to be sexually abused before the age of 16.
Sexual assaults rose 15% in a year, and at
schools the number doubled. Only 9 percent of sexual offences are reported
(registered by police) in New Zealand. Of all the reported cases, only 13% end
in a conviction. 91 % of the rapes either go unreported, or the victims are
intimidated by the police to drop complaints. (New Zeeland Herald).
Rape and Sexual violence is a massive problem in India. According to the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB), crimes against women have increased by 7.5% since 2010. The number of reported rapes in India, a country of over 1.2 billion people, has gone up to 33,707 in 2013 from 24,923 in 2012. The majority of rape victims are between 18 years and 30 years. About one out of three victims is below 18, and one in ten rape victims is under 14. In India, a woman is raped after every 20 minutes.
As per 2013 statistics, New Delhi has the
highest number of reported rape cases among Indian cities. Last year, on
average four rape cases were reported in the city. In number of total rape
cases, New Dehli (1,636) was followed by Mumbai (391), Jaipur (192) and Pune
(171). Madhya Pradesh is the highest among all other states with an
average records 11 rapes every day. Madhya Pradesh (4,335 cases) was followed
by Rajasthan (3,285 cases), Maharashtra (3,063 cases) and Uttar Pradesh (3,050
rape cases).
93 women are being raped in the country every
day. The majority of the offenders are known to the victims – 31,807 (94%) were
familiar to the accused, which includes neighbours (10782), other known persons
(18171), relatives (2315) and parents (539). (timesofindia).
Most rapes go unreported in India and the rest
of the world. According to Madiha Kark, an estimated 54% of rape crimes are
unreported, while Mihir Srivastava estimates 90% of rapes go unreported in
India. (Source).
4. England and
Wales
Rape in the United Kingdom is not a gender neutral offense: it is an offense that can only be committed by a male against a person. Also the UK has not to date followed the trend in many countries of classifying acts other than penetration with a penis (e.g. penetration with an object, finger) as rape. (Rape statistics United Kingdom).

Also the UK has not to date followed the trend in many countries of classifying acts other than penetration with a penis (e.g. penetration with an object, finger) as rape. (Rape statistics United Kingdom).
According to a report entitled “An Overview of
Sexual Offending in England and Wales”, released in 2013, by the Ministry of
Justice (MoJ), Office for National Statistics (ONS) and Home Office;
Approximately 85,000 victims of rape per year in England and Wales – 73,000
females and 12,000 males, equating to about 230 cases every day. The report
stated that 1 in every 5 women has experienced some form of sexual violence
since the age of 16. See the full report, a summary and/or the data tables
here.
According to the BBC reports,
the number of rapes reported to and recorded by police is at its highest ever
level, increase by 29 percent as overall crime falls in England and Wales.
According to a study by the NSPCC on young
people (aged between 13–18), a third of girls and 16 percent of boys have
experienced sexual violence and that as many as 250,000 teenage girls are
suffering from abuse at any one time. 12 percent of boys and 3 percent of girls
reported committing sexual violence against their partners.
According to George Mason University, Worldwide Sexual Assault Statistics, 1 in
3 American women will be sexually abused during their lifetime. About 19.3% of
women and 2% of men have been raped at least once in their lives. Additionally,
an estimated 43.9% of women and 23.4% of men experienced other forms of sexual
violence during their lifetimes. Many victims of sexual abuse were victimized
at a young age, about 79% were first raped before age 25, and 40% before age
18. (usatoday).
According to RAIIN, Every
107 seconds, someone in the United States is sexually assaulted. There is an
average of 293,000 victims (age 12 or older) of sexual assault each year. 68%
of sexual assaults are not reported to the police. 98% of rapists will never
spend a day in jail.
Rape And Sexual Assault Among College-Age: An
average (65,668+ & 2,866+) college-age women and men experienced a rape
sexual assault annually. More than a quarter of college-age women report having
experienced a rape or rape attempt since age 14. Out of all, only 16% of the
total cases are reported. Females ages 18 to 24 had higher rates of rape and
sexual assault than females in other age groups. Rate of rape crime is 1.2
times higher for nonstudents than students. Female students were more likely to
experience rape or sexual assault victimization away from home, while
nonstudents were more likely to be at home. Among females living in rural
areas, the rate of rape and sexual assault victimization was almost 2 times
higher for non-students. (Bureau of
Justice Statistics).
Rape Crimes in Prisons; According
to The Department for Justice, more men are raped in the U.S. than
woman in prisons – 216,000 prisoners are raped per year in the U.S. According
to the latest National Inmate Survey, 4% of prisoners, 3.2% of people in jail
and 9.5% of those in juvenile detention said they had been the victim of sexual
abuse. Almost 7% of women said they had been sexually abused by a fellow
inmate, while more men said they had been assaulted by staff.
2. Sweden
Sweden now has the second highest number of rapes in the world, after South
Africa, which at 53.2 per 100,000. Statistics now suggest that 1 out of
every 4 Swedish women comes out to be the victim of rape. If you look at the
number of rapes, however, the increase is even worse. In 1975, there were only
421 rapes reported to the police – in 2014, it was 6,620. That is an increase
of 1,472%. It would seem Sweden is a much more dangerous place for women in the
world.
Sweden has the highest rate of rape in Europe.
In 2013, according to the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention (Brå),
there were 63 rape cases per 100,000 population reported to the Swedish police.
According to rape crisis advocates in Sweden, 1
out of 3 Swedish women have been sexually assaulted by the time they leave
their teens. During the first half of 2013, more than 1,000 Swedish women
reported being raped by Muslim immigrants in the Stockholm; over 300 of those
were under the age of 15.
With the highest reported incident of Rape
Crimes, South Africa top the list. The majority of sexual violence is against
women, but men and children are
also subjected to this crime. According to a report, above 4% of men
have been forced to have sex with other men. According to South African Police,
children are victims of 41% of all reported Rape Crimes. About 15% of rape
victims are children under the age of 11. According to South Africa’s Tears
Foundation and the Medical Research Council, 50% of South Africa’s children
will be abused before the age of 18. Another source states that there were
24,892 rapes and attempted rapes of children under the age of 18. (Sexual violence in South Africa).
LAWS IN COUNTRIES
When talking about rape there are many
concepts that come to mind. Male on female rape, male on male rape, female on
male rape, female on female rape, gang rape, etc. There are also date-rape and
incestuous rape.
In some countries husbands can’t rape their
wives, but in other countries it’s a crime to have forceful sex with your
wife/husband.
You also get statutory rape – that is when it
is deemed, that although permission to sex is given, the age of the second
person is below the age set by the laws of the country at which a person can
consent to sex. This varies from country to country
Rape can never be consensual, then it’s not
rape. In general it can be said that rape takes place by means of inserting any
part of anatomy into any body cavity of the victim, or any object inserted into
any body cavity of the victim.
From
Lebanon where a rapist can escape punishment if he marries his victim to India
where rape within marriage is legal, bad laws are underpinning a global
“epidemic of sexual violence”, legal experts said on Monday.
A survey
of laws in 73 countries found rapists could avoid punishment if they married
their victim in at least nine jurisdictions, including Bahrain, Iraq,
Philippines, Tajikistan and Tunisia.
Marital
rape is permitted by law in at least 10 of the countries studied by campaign
group Equality Now, including Ghana, Lesotho, Oman, Singapore and Sri Lanka.
In four
of these, marital rape is even allowed when the “wife” is a child and the
marriage illegal, researchers said.

Countries
That Respond to Rape Victims By Throwing in Prison
Elizabeth Strassner | May 20, 2013
1.
Afghanistan
In 2011, a woman known only as
"Gulnaz" was released from a Kabul prison where she had been held for
two years for adultery. Gulnaz, who was 19 at the time of her rape, was
arrested after she became pregnant with the child of her rapist, her cousin's
husband. Gulnaz lived in jail with her daughter, and the two were only released
from prison at the request of Afghan president Hamid Karzai — she was
given a 12-year sentence.
2.
Saudi Arabia
In 2007, a Saudi Arabian judge
sentenced a 19-year-old gang rape victim to a six-month prison sentence and 200 lashes. The ostensible purpose for the
victim’s sentence was being in public in the company of a non-relative male,
which is illegal under Saudi law. The sentences given to the seven men found
guilty of the rape ranged from two to nine years.
3.
Republic of Ireland
Unjust persecution of rape
victims is endemic neither to the Middle East nor to countries under Sharia
Law. In Ireland, a woman was arrested and imprisoned last February for refusing
to testify against her alleged attackers. The alleged victim, whose attackers
were found innocent by the court, is Eastern European, not Irish, and
reportedly became so distressed at the order to point out her assailants that
her lawyers "feared she might collapse in court" and failed to appear the next
day. Police found her after an attempted suicide, and she was arrested after
recovery.
4.
Somalia
That a failed state is both incapable and unwilling to protect its rape victims from their
attackers is hardly surprising, but Somalia has also taken steps to silence
anyone willing to report such crimes. This February, Somali police jailed a
27-year-old woman who accused Somali security forces of rape. She was jailed
for insulting the government and making what the government called a
"false accusation." Also imprisoned was the freelance journalist who
interviewed the victim; he was accused of inciting her to give false evidence
and of insulting the government.
5.
India
Last month, police in the
Bulandshahr district arrested a 10-year-old child after her family pressed charges against a local
man accusing him of raping the child. The arresting officers, perhaps
surprisingly, were female.https://mic.com/articles/43075/5-countries-that-respond-to-rape-victims-by-throwing-them-in-prison#.dcsfeUBYm

GERMAN
MAN
A man charged with raping his daughter nearly 500
times and fathering three children by her during a 34-year reign of domestic
terror told a German court on Monday the sex had been consensual.
“Never in
my life,” he said at the Nuremberg-Fürth regional court Monday, when accused of
threatening his daughter with a knife, pulling her hair and forcing her to have
sex with him.
The man,
named in German media only as Adolf B., 69, admitted committing incest with his
daughter, which is a crime under German law, but told the court that she had
approached him for sex when she was 16 or 17 years old. “I did not undress her
myself,” he said.
He could
not understand why she was accusing him of rape, his lawyer said.
But the
daughter, now 46, has told authorities his father started raping her when she
was about 12, and continued for more than three decades, while keeping her in a
state of fear, bullying and beating her and forbidding her to leave the house
without him

BILL COSBY USA 5
June 2017
He
was “America’s dad” – a hero for millions, who was the first to portray a
normal African American family existence. He was a multimillionaire household
name, with three palatial homes across the United States and the world at his
feet.
But
Bill Cosby is now on trial for sexually assault, and his reputation lies in
tatters. Almost 60 women have come forward to accuse the 79-year-old of
drugging and raping them, over a 50-year span. He has denied all charges.
This
trial, in Norristown, on the outskirts of Philadelphia, will likely be the only

allegations were in the too distant past, and have fallen out of the statute of
limitations

Politicians Accused of Sexual Misconduct in
2017
NEWSPAPER-
MAGAZINE HEADLINES
It is the armed forces’ hidden
epidemic. And the nation’s shame.
The statistics for military sexual
trauma — three words that barely hint at the horror — are both astounding and
stomach-turning.
In 2011, there were 3,191 reports
of sexual assaults ranging from wrongful touching to rape — but even Defense
Secretary Leon Panetta says he believes that because it is such an
underreported crime, there were actually as many as 19,000 such attacks.
The underreporting reflects how the
majority of victims are too fearful to report the abuse, as many of the
perpetrators are their superiors.
'One third of US military women raped'
"Everybody's supposed to have a battle buddy in the army, and females are supposed to have one to go to the latrines with, or to the showers - that's so you don't get raped by one of the men on your own side. But because I was the only female there, I didn't have a battle buddy. My battle buddy was my gun and my knife,'' Army specialist Chantelle Henneberry said.
Back in 2003, a survey of female veterans suggested that 30 percent of the women serving had been raped, while a study conducted in the following year on veterans seeking treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder indicated that 71 percent of the women said they had been sexually assaulted or raped while serving."

AIR FORCE ACADEMY
SEXUAL ASSAULT SCANDAL
The Air Force Academy sexual assault scandal in
2003 involved allegations of sexual
assault at the United States Air Force Academy,
as well as allegations that the alleged incidents had been ignored by the
Academy’s leadership.
Twelve percent of the women who graduated from the Air Force Academy in
2003 reported that they were victims of rape or attempted rape
while at the Academy. Of 659 women enrolled at the Academy at the time, 70
percent of the 579 women at the academy alleged they had been the victims of
sexual harassment, of which 22 percent said they experienced "pressure for
sexual favors."
Nineteen percent of those surveyed claimed to have been the victims of
sexual assault and more than seven percent said that assault took the form of
rape or attempted rape.
The alleged attackers had since graduated; there was insufficient evidence for court-martial.
Sexual predation was mainly directed toward freshmen and sophomores who were
under 21 and were blackmailed after accepting alcohol from upperclass cadets.
Several assaults allegedly occurred while women were under the influence of
alcohol.
A confidential survey of 4,200 cadets and midshipmen,
including all of the women and about 1,000 men, at US military academies
conducted by the Defense Department in the spring of 2004 revealed 302 claims
of sexual assault by women of which only one third had been officially reported
"We
are taking a comprehensive look not only at the cases that we know, but trying
to do the best we can to assess whether or not there are other cases out
there," Rice told reporters at the Pentagon.
There is an ongoing problem with sexual assault in the United States armed forces which has
received extensive media coverage in the past several years. At least 32% of
U.S. military women report having been sexually assaulted, and up to 80% have
been sexually harassed.[1] A 2012 Pentagon survey found that
approximately 26,000 women and men were sexually assaulted. Of those, only
5,334 cases were reported
According to the USCCR report, a 2010 survey conducted by
the Department of Defense found that 54 percent of women and 27 percent of men
did not report because they feared retaliation; 47 percent of women and 20
percent of men did not report because they had heard other victims had a
negative experience after reporting.
TAILHOOK
As
time went on, however, the fallout from Tailhook '91 continued.
Ultimately the careers of fourteen admirals and almost 300 naval aviators
were scuttled or damaged by Tailhook. For example Secretary of the Navy
H. Lawrence Garrett III and CNO Admiral Frank Kelso were both at Tailhook '91.
Garrett ultimately resigned and Kelso retired early two years after the
convention.
ABERDEEN SCANDAL
The Aberdeen Scandal was a military sexual assault
scandal in 1996 at Aberdeen Proving Ground, a United States Army base in Maryland.
Ultimately, twelve drill instructors were charged with sex crimes;
four were sentenced to prison, while eight others were discharged or received non-judicial punishment. Additionally,
"letters of reprimand were issued to Aberdeen's commanding general and three other senior
officers."
Drill
Sergeant Raped Us, 2 Trainees Testify
A 21-year-old private said she was returning to her barracks from the
bathroom when Staff Sgt. Delmar Simpson ordered her into his office, pushed her
onto a couch, pulled off her shorts and raped her.
At Aberdeen itself, 19 women trainees have filed rape or
sexual-assault complaints and nearly 20 noncommissioned officers are now under
investigation. Simpson has been charged with rape, forcible sodomy, assault and
threats. Beach was charged with adultery, fraternization, lying and making
threats. (Lawyers for both men admit theirclients had sex with recruits but say
the sex was consensual.) Their company commander, Capt. Derrick Robertson, has
been charged with rape, forcible sodomy and obstruction of justice. (He admits
having sex with one trainee but says it was consensual.) Administrative action
has already been taken against two other sergeants, and 15 non-coms have been
suspended from duty pending further investigation
U.S.
ARMY SEX SCANDAL GROWS IN GERMANY
WASHINGTON — Amid fresh signs that the Army's sexual-harassment scandal is
reaching ever deeper, the Pentagon disclosed Thursday that the commander of an
Army training center in Darmstadt, Germany, has been reassigned because of
sexual-misconduct allegations.
The change of assignment for 1st Sgt. George Watlington is especially
serious for the Army because he topped the chain of command at the center and
was on a team investigating charges by 11 women that rocked the facility last
week. Two instructors at the center have been charged with rape and sodomy and
one with cruelty to a subordinate.
The sexual-harassment scandal, the most serious the military has ever
faced, has now touched 10 of the 13 domestic Army bases where the Army trains
men alongside women, an informal Times survey found. And it appears to be
increasingly turning up allegations at overseas Army bases from Europe to Asia.
"More women are learning about it, and they're coming forward to
talk," said Dorothy Macke, a former Air Force captain who has been
pressing complaints against two former superiors.

FEMALE U.S. SOLDIERS RAPED BY COMRADES
a Book tells of female U.S. soldiers raped
by comrades - Christine
Kearney
NEW YORK (Reuters)
- Female U.S. soldiers serving in Iraq and Afghanistan have more to fear than
roadside bombs or enemy ambushes. They also are at risk of being raped or
sexually assaulted by fellow soldiers.
Some were warned by officers not to go to the
latrine by themselves. One began carrying a knife in case she was attacked by
comrades. Others said they felt discouraged to report assaults.
“The horror of it is that it is their own side
that is doing this to them,” said the book’s author, Helen Benedict, a
journalism professor at Columbia University in New York. The book was released
in the United States on Wednesday.
One in 10 U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan
are female, and more women have fought and died in the Iraq war than any since
World War Two, according to U.S. Department of Defense statistics cited in the
book.
Benedict said the book’s title comes from the
isolation female U.S. soldiers experience when combining the trauma of their
combat duties with sexual harassment by fellow soldiers.
“Because women are under so much more danger now
and actually in the battle, it’s a particularly tragic situation because all
soldiers are supposed to be able to rely on one another to watch their backs,”
Benedict said.
“And how can you feel that way if your fellow
soldiers are harassing you all day or trying to rape you or actually even
raping you?”
One such soldier, Marti Ribeiro, was a
third-generation Air Force sergeant who served in Afghanistan in 2006 as a
combat correspondent with the Army’s all-male 10th Mountain Division. Her story
includes an account of being attacked and raped by a U.S. soldier in uniform
while guarding a post.
After completing the shift and not showering to
substantiate the attack, she reported it to authorities, only to be told if she
filed a claim she would be charged with dereliction of duty for leaving her
weapon unattended. She left the military.
“I had dreams of becoming an officer one day, like
my father and grandfather,” she says in the book. “Unfortunately, because I‘m
female, those dreams will not come true.”
SURVEYS UNDERSCORE PROBLEM
The number of reports of sexual assault in the
U.S. military rose by 8 percent in fiscal 2008 from the previous year and by 25
percent in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a report released by the Pentagon
in March.
There were 2,908 reports overall of sexual assault
by members of the military. Such assaults include rape, indecent assault and
attempted rape, the report said.
Of the 40 women Benedict interviewed who served
between 2003 and 2006, 10 said they had been raped, five said they were
sexually assaulted including attempted rape, and 13 reported sexual harassment.
RAPE AND THE
BIBLE
The Bible is not silent about rape.
The accounts of sexual assault against women are
heartbreaking, even gruesome. But they are not brushed under a rug or hushed
up. In fact, of the three accounts describing a woman who was sexually
assaulted, each of them precipitated civil war. When Jacob’s daughter, Dinah,
was violated by the son of a neighboring ruler, Shechem, her brothers murdered
him, his father, and the all of the men of his city out of revenge (Gen
34). After the Unnamed Concubine was gang-raped and left for dead by men in the
tribe of Benjamin, the other tribes went to war against them upon hearing of
her injustice (Jgs 19-21). And after Tamar was raped by her half-brother,
Amnon, her brother Absalom killed him and incited a rebellion against his
father, King David (2 Sm 13).
Rape was neither covered up nor ignored. Instead, it
was answered and avenged. It was such a cultural convulsion that it was
answered with outrage and further violence. The cases of rape in Scripture tell
us something about the cases of rape we are hearing today: These women must be
heard and they must be protected.
The Old Testament Law gives us an even greater picture
of how God takes up the cause of the victim and the vulnerable. There is
one passage in particular, Deuteronomy 22:23-29, that safeguarded women who
had been violated. Like all of the legal codes, these laws reveal the
heart and character of God.
https://biblicalwoman.com/bible-sexual-assault-women/
Question: "What does the
Bible say about rape?" https://www.gotquestions.org/Bible-rape.html
Answer: The Bible does address the issue of rape. As expected, when the Bible mentions the crime of rape, it is depicted as a gross violation of God’s design for the treatment of the human body (Genesis 34). The Bible condemns rape whenever it is mentioned. For example, there is a particular passage in the laws given to the nation of Israel before entering the Promised Land under Joshua’s leadership. This passage (Deuteronomy 22:13–29) spoke directly against forcing a woman into a sexual encounter against her will, or what we know today as rape. This command was meant to protect women and to protect the nation of Israel from committing sinful actions.
Deuteronomy 22:25–27 specifies the punishment the Mosaic Law required for a man who raped a betrothed woman. The man was to be killed by stoning while the woman was considered innocent. Though the Mosaic Law was for the nation of Israel during the time of Moses, the principle is clear that rape is sinful in the eyes of God and, under the Law, led to the most extreme punishment possible—death for the rapist.
There are some difficult passages in the Old Testament in relation to this issue. One is Deuteronomy 22:28–29, “If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.” If the rape victim was not betrothed, then the rapist faced different consequences.
We must see Deuteronomy 22:28–29 through the lens of ancient culture. In those days, social convention treated women poorly. They couldn’t own property. They couldn't get a job to support themselves. If a woman had no father, husband, or son, she had no legal protection. Her options were slavery or prostitution. If an unmarried woman wasn’t a virgin, it was extremely difficult for her to get married. If she wasn’t marriageable, her father didn’t have much use for her.
God’s punishment on the rapist of a virgin—a monetary fine and lifelong responsibility—was designed to deter rape by holding the rapist responsible for his actions. He ruined her life; it was his responsibility to support her for the rest of her life. This may not sound fair to modern ears, but we don’t live in the same culture they did. In 1 Samuel 13, Prince Amnon raped his half-sister, Tamar. The horror and shame of being violated yet unmarried made Tamar beg him to marry her (her half-brother!), even after he had rejected her. And her full-brother, Absalom, was so disgusted with the situation that he murdered Amnon. That’s how highly virginity in women was prized back then.
Critics of the Bible also point to Numbers 31 (and similar passages) in which the Israelites were allowed to take female captives from nations they conquered. Critics say this is an example of the Bible’s condoning or even promoting rape. However, the passage says nothing about raping the captive women. It is wrong to assume that the captive women were to be raped. The soldiers were commanded to purify themselves and their captives (verse 19). Rape would have violated this command (see Leviticus 15:16–18). The women who were taken captive are never referred to as sexual objects. Did the captive women likely eventually marry amongst the Israelites? Yes. Is there any indication that rape or sex slavery was forced upon the women? Absolutely not.
In the New Testament, rape is not mentioned directly, but within the Jewish culture of the day, rape would have been considered sexual immorality. Jesus and the apostles spoke against sexual immorality, even offering it as justifiable grounds for divorce (Matthew 5:32).
Further, the New Testament is clear that Christians are to obey the laws of their governing authorities (Romans 13). Not only is rape morally wrong; it is also wrong according to the laws of the land. As such, anyone who would commit this crime should expect to pay the consequences, including arrest and imprisonment.
To the victims of rape, we must offer much care and compassion. God’s Word often speaks about helping those in need and in vulnerable situations. Christians should model the love and compassion of Christ by assisting victims of rape in any way possible.
People are responsible for the sins they commit, including rape. However, no one is beyond the grace of God. Even to those who have committed the vilest of sins, God can extend forgiveness if they repent and turn from their evil ways (1 John 1:9). This does not remove the need for punishment according to the law, but it can offer hope and the way to a new life.
CONCLUSION
Rape
is a crime that has been there since the dawn of society. It is so widespread
that society has lost it’s ability to see it as serious. It is a crime that is
greatly under reported and attended to.
There
are the dangers of false accusations, but too many rapes are not taken serious
by society.
Solution – Break
with it and seek counselling.
The real solution
regarding any sinful sexual relationship is found in the Creator of mankind and
in His word, the bible. A Heart changed in the inner-man, by the grace of God
through His Holy Spirit sets you free from bondage.
Consider the
following:
Sex
is like nuclear energy. Within a contained environment (marriage) very useful,
outside disastrous, harmful and dangerous.
The
solution to this disillusioned lifestyle is the Christian gospel. A Gospel of
forgiveness and restoration.
