If these were biological organisms, I could easily argue that over a million years the shape of the spoon became less effective and evolved into the fork

#

Fossils are just different animals, an evolutionary story attempts to connect them, but there's no reason why you wouldn't think that they are just different animals

fathom hamlet
#

so different animals existed in the past?

pearl mesa
#

Yeah

#

Animals go extinct all the time

#

Only recently have we started considering species endangered to prevent them from going extinct

fathom hamlet
#

well it's unlikely that we are just the only ones left since there are no human fossils from like 500 milion years ago

#

so how did we come to be?

#

scientists have a pretty good idea of why we exist now and why we didn't exist back then

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

okay then how so that when we did find human fossils they looked different

pearl mesa
#

Which human fossils are you referring to

fathom hamlet
#

homo erectus for example?

pearl mesa
#

Are you asking why some people look different than others?

fathom hamlet
#

there is no single difference in modern humans that would correspond to the differences found between homo sapiens and homo erectus

#

that means that we didn't exist the same way back then

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

well quite simply we didn't exist as the same humans back then

livid pivot
fathom hamlet
pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

no i came to that conclusion myself

fathom hamlet
livid pivot
#

you're just ignorant

#

you don't care

pearl mesa
#

I can do the picture too, it doesn't change anything

#

A different head shape doesn't mean someone is less evolved

fathom hamlet
#

so homo erectus and homo sapiens lived together?

pearl mesa
#

Define lived together

#

At the same time, yes

#

In the same locations, maybe not

fathom hamlet
#

why do we find homo erectus fossils but not homo sapiens fossils

#

you can't argue carbon dating because soil layers exists

livid pivot
#

so the oldest dates that can be reliably measured by this process date to approximately 50,000 years ago
- the wikipedia article for it

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

genuinely this dave guy just says things

fathom hamlet
livid pivot
#

that was my point

fathom hamlet
#

you stated that it can be inaccurate. It is accurate when used correctly

livid pivot
#

yes

#

i agree

fathom hamlet
livid pivot
#

under certain conditions (dates older than 50k years) it can be inaccurate

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

I don't know

pearl mesa
#

Google tells me hundreds of thousands

fathom hamlet
#

yeah that seems to be possible

pearl mesa
#

If we assume that's reliable, that would be less than 1%

#

That's why we haven't found human fossils

#

Fossilization is a very rare process

fathom hamlet
#

why don't we find even a couple of homo sapiens fossils that would be pointing to both of those species living at the same time

#

why is it that all evidence points to homo sapiens living further in time than homo erectus

#

that's just the most rational thing to believe

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

we probably don't need to use chemical or physical dating

pearl mesa
#

Which dating method do you prefer

fathom hamlet
#

well we could just map out how deep all the fossils were found, and I bet all homo sapiens fossils are found to be less buried

#

ancient buildings are already buried, and that is just a span of a few thousands years

#

fossils get buried too

#

the ancient greek ruins are buried deeper than medieval ruins, soo

pearl mesa
#

Do you honestly believe that the deeper a fossil is, the older it is?

fathom hamlet
#

isn't that rational to believe? we observe that older things are deeper in the ground

#

do you think coal and other minerals are not old?

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

well the general pattern we observe is basically that

#

do you think it's irrational to think that human species changed now?

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

so we did do something that can be called evolution

pearl mesa
#

Is inbreeding evolution?

fathom hamlet
#

who did we inbreed with?

pearl mesa
#

Sister

#

Brother

fathom hamlet
#

and why would we survive if we inbreed to the point where we changed our whole skeletal structure?

#

inbreeding isn't healthy for a species

#

unless you want to claim it was beneficial

#

I can do this whole induction reasoning with simple evidence to form these conclusions, there are people who dedicate their whole life to studying these things

#

and they do a good job of explaining the world through naturalistic laws

pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
#

I don't have any reasons to believe in anything more than the natural world

pearl mesa
#

In the bible people live hundreds of years

#

We're lucky to get 100

fathom hamlet
#

if we died even more often there would be more likely fossils

pearl mesa
#

How

fathom hamlet
#

well because there would be more dead bodies?

#

more chances for fossilization to happen basically

pearl mesa
#

I don't understand what you're saying

#

In the bible, people lived hundreds of years longer than people do today

livid pivot
#

everyone after the reformation

pearl mesa
pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

no...

#

they do not...

#

tbf you might mean something different when you say it but one of the most common views of it is that the Father damned the Son and i just don't vibe with that personally

pearl mesa
#

It is literally the gospel

livid pivot
#

what specifically does that mean tho

#

like what do you mean by that when you say that

#

did the Father damn the Son?

pearl mesa
#

I do not believe there is biblical evidence of Jesus getting tortured in Hell by demons

#

Some people have taught that

#

The scriptures more clearly indicate that God's wrath is poured out on Jesus on the cross itself, rather than a 3 day and 3 night period in Hell

livid pivot
#

my other problem is that it also kind of denies God's forgiveness

pearl mesa
#

It doesn't, most christians don't understand what biblical forgiveness is

livid pivot
pearl mesa
# pearl mesa It doesn't, most christians don't understand what biblical forgiveness is

Biblical forgiveness is described the same as debt forgiveness.

John steals $400 dollars from Jacob.

The Court weighs in on the case, and says that John owes Jacob that $400 back

Jacob decides to forgive John and tells him that he no longer needs to pay the money

That does not magically bring $400 back. Now Jacob instead has to get his money back himself

#

That's how sin works, God can't erase sin, it needs to be paid for

#

If God did erase sin, it would compromise his justice.

#

A judge that says to criminals "You're free to go" is not a good judge

livid pivot
#

sin is something that influences us

#

and the people around us

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

wdym

pearl mesa
#

God experiences all kinds of negative emotions in reaction to sin

#

Sin makes God angry and sometimes it even says regretful

#

God is personally hurt when we sin

#

The Bible compares it to a husband who's wife regularly cheats on him

livid pivot
fathom hamlet
pearl mesa
fathom hamlet
livid pivot
#

iirc spiritual death means separation of the soul from God

#

which in this case leads to heresy

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

cuz you have to choose between nestorianism and arianism

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

because Christ is God

pearl mesa
#

Oh I see

livid pivot
#

so if His soul is separated from God then either He isn't God or there are two persons in Christ

pearl mesa
#

It wouldn't be seperation from God then, it would be seperated from the other godhead

livid pivot
#

but that would split the Trinity

pearl mesa
#

Yes I don't think that would contradict scripture. I'm saying it's possible

livid pivot
#

ouch

pearl mesa
#

Which verse would contradict that?

#

All I've said is that I'm open to the idea, haven't looked much into it

livid pivot
#

😭

pearl mesa
#

Do you not have one?

#

Why can't we be open to ideas

livid pivot
#

deuteronomy 6:4

4 β€œHear, O Israel: [a]The Lord our God, the Lord is one!

scarlet pelican
#

Why does Jesus say "Matthew 27:46 ESV
[46] And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, β€œEli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, β€œMy God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”

#

Genuine question

livid pivot
#

He is quoting a Psalm

pearl mesa
#

I know

#

Why is he quoting it?

scarlet pelican
#

Cant it be more than a quote

#

I think God is really intentional and creative

pearl mesa
scarlet pelican
#

I thought, reading it, its showing us that while Jesus is still quoting scripture, showing in that how He is aware of the Biblical teachings and what quoting that verse suggests about His situation

#

Like

#

What is it suggesting

#

By Jesus choosing that Psalm

#

Because it is intentional

#

But i wonder why

pearl mesa
#

Like Jesus is not being seperated from his divine nature I think that is very clear

#

But part of the Hell punishment is seperation from the good attributes of the father

livid pivot
#

it's a prefiguring of the crucifixion

scarlet pelican
#

But in His divinity He takes upon Himself all of sin

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

15
I am poured out like water,
And all my bones are shattered;
My heart is like wax, melting into my stomach.
16
My strength is dried up like an earthen vessel;
My tongue cleaves to my throat;
And You led me into the dust of death.

pearl mesa
#

Yeah

#

And how does it start

scarlet pelican
#

Its like how hell is not a seperation from God but the abscense of the good of God

livid pivot
#

you didn't do it by chapter number

#

but by quoting the beginning

pearl mesa
#

It's like I say "The sky has clouds in it" and you go "NO the sky is blue!" The sky being blue is completely unrelated to whether or not it has clouds

#

Yes the sky is both blue and has clouds, putting them both together gives you a fuller picture about what the sky is, but the conversation is about clouds

livid pivot
#

i do think there's a specific meaning to it but i don't think it's what PSA says it is

pearl mesa
#

PSA is the very clear teaching of scripture

livid pivot
#

how could they be separated

livid pivot
pearl mesa
scarlet pelican
#

You're putting human limitations to God

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

no

scarlet pelican
#

To say God is limited in paying for all of sin while still existing as God is limiting God

livid pivot
#

not what i'm saying

scarlet pelican
#

What are you saying

livid pivot
#

i'm saying that saying Christ was separated from the Father is wrong

scarlet pelican
#

That's not what we're saying either

pearl mesa
#

That is kind of what I'm saying

#

At least in good relationship

#

Not from like the divine nature

#

But like in the same way that sinners are percieved in Hell

#

God isn't absent in Hell

#

God is doing the punishment

livid pivot
#

i much prefer our model of redemptive atonement (i think it's correct to call it that? not sure)

#

tbf i think we also say that there is no perfect model

scarlet pelican
#

What is different in your perspective of what salvation is compared to ours

scarlet pelican
#

🀑🀑🀑

livid pivot
#

that

#

that's not what i'm saying

pearl mesa
#

This is correct just incomplete

livid pivot
#

no perfect model of atonement, like, human explanation of what happened (kinda?)

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

sin is a lack

#

Christ does not become lacking

#

He is God

#

that passage is better seen as Christ becoming a sin offering

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

it's a play on words in a sense

#

the apostles, being also former old testament jews, spoke hebrew

#

in hebrew, the word for sin can also mean sin offering

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

yes i know this

pearl mesa
#

That's a different language

livid pivot
#

it's a bilingual "play on words"

pearl mesa
#

Dude if you reject the meaning of that the text says and insist that instead we should interpret the text in a language it isn't written in, you're not being honest with the source material

livid pivot
#

i'm being very honest with the source material

#

especially considering an impossibility of the contrary

pearl mesa
#

An impossibity that the meaning is contained within the language it is written in???

livid pivot
#

an impossibility of God becoming lack

#

God is perfect

pearl mesa
#

He's not becoming lack, he's bearing our sin in the perfect act of selfless love

livid pivot
#

that's not what that verse says tho

#

if you interpret it your way

pearl mesa
#

That's what the verse clearly says as long as you don't translate into hebrew before translating it into english

livid pivot
#

" For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us"

pearl mesa
#

Yeah

livid pivot
#

made Him [..] to be sin

pearl mesa
#

Yes

livid pivot
#

God does not become lack

pearl mesa
#

Yes

livid pivot
#

so...

pearl mesa
#

Lacking in something isn't sinning

livid pivot
#

but sinning is lacking in something

#

the word literally means missing the mark

pearl mesa
#

Jesus didn't sin

#

He became the very concept of sin

#

Two completely different things

livid pivot
#

the very concept of sin is missing the mark

#

Jesus does not become "missing the mark"

#

otherwise all of us who believe in Him believe in missing the mark

#

transitive property and stuff

livid pivot
#

that's what i'm asking you lol

pearl mesa
#

It's talking about a legal sense where all of our debt is credited to him, not that Jesus is transgressing against the law in that moment

livid pivot
#

that is reading a lot more into it

pearl mesa
#

Is it????

#

The Bible says Jesus is perfect

#

So we know he isn't sinning on the cross

livid pivot
#

can He then become the very concept of sin?

pearl mesa
#

Legally yes

livid pivot
#

p1: in this position Christ becomes the very concept of sin
p2: we have faith in Christ
conclusion: in this position, our faith is in the very concept of sin

#

like

pearl mesa
#

"It is finished" is a legal term that means "Paid in full"

livid pivot
#

uhh

#

what

pearl mesa
#

Jesus' last words on the cross was a debt term

livid pivot
#

do you have a source for that or anything

pearl mesa
#

What source would you find credible

#

If I send you anything you'll dismiss it as protestant

livid pivot
#

hmm depends on the context of what this would be

#

like is this a hebrew term, aramaic, greek?

#

why would God have to pay God

#

that just seems silly to me

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

not very just either

#

like you can't just walk into court and say "dude just put me in jail instead"

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

what would be just about that?

#

here lemme give an analogy

pearl mesa
livid pivot
#

if someone beats me up

#

do i have to punish someone

#

or can i just say dang dude ok but i forgive you

#

this just seems like you're tying God's hand for no reason

pearl mesa
#

If someone beats you up, you don't necissarily have to punish someone but there should be a punishment so the behavior doesn't continue

#

Here wanna hop in a voice call my hands hurt from typing

livid pivot
#

alright i'll be there in a minute

pearl mesa
#

Bathroom give me a minute too

pearl mesa
# pearl mesa "It is finished" is a legal term that means "Paid in full"

After looking at the historical record for this, it seems like the legal documents are more likely interpreted as "Paid as taxes." The Bible does clearly teach PSA, but I will not be using this specific example, because it doesn't seem like this is what Jesus is trying to cite, it's more of just a happy coincidence

rancid egret
#

i didnt read everything in this thread but ill say what i can about the topics here:

To the title:
No. Atheism is by definition the lack of belief in the existence of any god.

As for all the evolution stuff, id say for me its just common sense. Living things that suck at staying alive die so the next generation is the children of the ones who survived. The next generation is similiar to the previous which you can observe practically by looking at you and your biological parents. I honestly dont understand how someone could not accept evolution as an existing phenomenon.

scarlet pelican
#

People here dont believe in evolution as a billion year concept

That is not to say we dont believe in adaptation

Evolution goes against like the core of Christianity if you take it to its logical conclusion and the implications undermine it too drastically for most of us to believe in it being a billion year process

But yes we do believe in adaptation of course

# timid mauve Or his photo?

we have eye witnesses, 4 inside the bible, and 2 outside of it, wich is insane for the person to have at that time

Do you think jimmy carter existed? Hes dead so idk if he really did

pearl mesa
#

πŸ€”

#

Wait guys

timid mauve
#

Tell me does a science fiction book prove that what is being told exists?

pearl mesa
#

Was napolean real???

timid mauve
#

Like i dont know

#

Stranger things

#

You see demogorgon on the screen

#

Does that make it real?

kindred ether
timid mauve
#

Or that stranger things happened?

timid mauve
timid mauve
# pearl mesa Was napolean real???

Yes, there's napoleons dna, napoleons private parts which were auctioned, there's thousands of eye witnesses, there's records, etc etc

#

We have no dna of jesus

#

We have no skeleton or anything left of him

#

All we have is a book

It did

timid mauve
#

Like did someone else just revive after 3 days of being dead untouched and not rotten

pearl mesa
#

Yeah

timid mauve
#

And then just dissapeared

pearl mesa
#

Lazarus

timid mauve
#

That's what im referencing

#

Ok lemme be more direct

#

Has any records shown of this happening OUTSIDE the bible

#

Something that would make it atleast possible somehow

kindred ether
timid mauve
#

Im sorry but a story cannot prove itself to be real

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

Like its like saying little red riding hood happened cuz it said so in a book

pearl mesa
#

That's like throwing out an entire library as evidence because i's all in the same library

timid mauve
pearl mesa
kindred ether
#

but what about the eye witnesses outside of the bible?

timid mauve
pearl mesa
#

Does greek mythology have eyewittness accounts?

timid mauve
timid mauve
pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

Just like how the apostles saw it

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

Therefore it must be true no?

pearl mesa
#

Which side characters

timid mauve
#

a eyewitness INSIDE a story does not prove itself to be real

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

because said eyewitness can also be fictious

pearl mesa
#

Did Zeus write greek mythology???

timid mauve
#

again a story cant prove itself to be true

timid mauve
#

maybe

#

we'll never know

#

cuz we cant see zeus

#

we cant hear zeus

#

we cant touch zeus

#

we cant smell zeus

pearl mesa
#

There was never any claim that he did

timid mauve
#

and you know who else we cant do said things either?

timid mauve
pearl mesa
#

Okay but paul did write some books in the bible

timid mauve
#

oh right i got a question

#

hi so why doesnt god stop children from being assaulted by pastors or priests

pearl mesa
# timid mauve ok?

So it's a little different when the eyewitnesses themselves are writing what they saw under threat of being killed

timid mauve
#

its happening on god's temple, no?

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

like shouldnt he care?

pearl mesa
#

The catholic church isn't God's temple LOL

timid mauve
timid mauve
kindred ether

The church is NOT God's temple. The Bible NEVER teaches that, and teaches explicitly the opposite

timid mauve
#

i feel like that says a lot about you both

pearl mesa
#

I was correcting you

#

???

timid mauve
#

yeah that says a lot about you

pearl mesa
#

???

#

Did I?

pearl mesa
#

Are you asking me "If God good why do bad happen"

timid mauve
#

but sure

#

if thats the way you understand better

#

be my guest

scarlet pelican
#

Dont accuse my literal husband of not caring about assault when he is married to me who is a victim of r4pe that is incredibly rude

timid mauve
scarlet pelican
#

Just cause he isnt answering questions like you want doesnt mean he doesnt care

timid mauve
#

isnt it cruel he let you got through that?

scarlet pelican
#

Its not Gods fault my abuser did a bad thing to me

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

but why didnt he do anything to stop it?

scarlet pelican
#

Thats like blaming my great grandma because i decided to kill someone

timid mauve
#

god can do miracles

pearl mesa
timid mauve
#

why didnt he just stop it from happening?

scarlet pelican
#

The r4pist should be punished not God

pearl mesa
#

Hey wanna enter a vc I fell like you aren't understanding with text

timid mauve
#

when he could have stopped it?

pearl mesa
#

Do you wanna enter a vc

timid mauve
pearl mesa
#

Do you wanna enter a vc

scarlet pelican
#

Crazy question

timid mauve
kindred ether
timid mauve
#

you brung it up

#

go ahead

scarlet pelican
#

I was just mentioning it because YOU were accusing my husband of something extremely vile

#

I didnt mention it so i could relive it

#

Thanks tho

timid mauve
#

accused him of what?

scarlet pelican
#

Not caring about abuse

timid mauve
#

but he doesnt do anything about it

#

how does he care if he doesnt do anything about it?

pearl mesa
# timid mauve no, sorry, thank you

Then I don't really see any point in continuing a conversation. You claim to be "free" but are still so consumed by hatred to argue with christians online and make accusations against my wife who expereinced sexual assault and then refuse to talk to me in an enviroment where we're forced to listen to eachother

scarlet pelican
#

My husband cant stop it cause it already happened (?)

pearl mesa
#

It seems like you don't care about truth and instead just want to hate people

timid mauve
#

if you dont help your son in any way, ignore his pleas or dont come to his rescue

#

do you really love and care for ur son?

scarlet pelican
#

I did get out of it because of Christ

timid mauve
#

isnt it cruel he let you go through that in the first place tho?

scarlet pelican
#

No

scarlet pelican
#

He didnt do that to me

regal forum
#

suffering shapes us refines us and creates perseverance

scarlet pelican
#

Again the abuser did it

#

Not God

timid mauve
pearl mesa
scarlet pelican
#

He didnt do it to me

timid mauve
timid mauve
#

he didnt do it

#

but he let it happen

scarlet pelican
#

Thats what youre getting at

timid mauve
#

he could have killed the r4pist

#

made him go somewhere else

#

blocked his way

#

but he didnt

scarlet pelican
#

Its not Gods responsibility to end evil because the last time He did like almost everyone on earth died

timid mauve
#

he let it happen

scarlet pelican
#

Actually i let it happen lol

#

As a victim thats kinda how it goes sometimes

timid mauve
scarlet pelican
#

I still lived to share Gods love

pearl mesa
#

To undersand the answer to your question I think you need to understand the message of the bible as a whole and if you want to attack each individual point without putting it all together, you will never find the truth you seek

timid mauve
scarlet pelican
#

?????

pearl mesa
#

I want to give you the answer, I really do, but you need to put yourself in a position of listening first

scarlet pelican
#

I love being the victim of your targeted harassment thanks

timid mauve
#

im not harassing you

#

but

pearl mesa
#

If you want to ask a question, you need to ask that question seeking a real answer, instead of just asking to push an agenda

timid mauve
#

if i let someone i "love", go through horrible stuff when i could have stopped it

scarlet pelican
#

RELIVE YOUR R4PE AND TELL ME WHY GOD DIDNT END IT !!!

#

But im not harassing you

pearl mesa
#

Do you want to find truth or do you want to yell at people in text chat?

scarlet pelican
#

😲

timid mauve
#

i feel like i wouldnt love that person actually

pearl mesa
#

What's your goal, why are you here?

timid mauve
#

my apologies

scarlet pelican
#

Because you were accusing my partner of not caring about something im a victim of

#

I wasnt inviting you to ask me extensively about it

timid mauve
scarlet pelican
#

Csporidium is my husband

#

Not God

#

πŸ˜­πŸ‘

timid mauve
#

#

scarlet pelican
timid mauve
scarlet pelican
timid mauve
#

i dont see no "CSporidium doesnt care about..."

scarlet pelican
#

"You ignoted the assault part"
"That says a lot about you"

#

What other conclusion can i draw bro

timid mauve
#

I dont know, but you cant say i accused someone of anything over your own conclusion

#

Sorry

#

Also idk why ur husband its so obsessed with trying to vc me

scarlet pelican
#

Because he wants to have a better conversation

pearl mesa
scarlet pelican

Do you want a "I love CSporidium" channel?

scarlet pelican
#

It takes him a lot of time to think thats ok, at least hes putting in effort to share his thoughts

timid mauve
#

Omg she found someone else to drool over

#

Talk about character development

scarlet pelican
#

I have friends !!

kindred ether
#

so the word they use in "Deuteronomy 22:28"

timid mauve
kindred ether
#

oh yes

#

it is the same verse

#

25But if out in the country a man happens to meet a young woman pledged to be married and rapes her, only the man who has done this shall die. 26Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor, 27for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.

#

So this is Descrabing the woman not wantting to do it, so the man shall die

#

Butttttt

#

in Deuteronomy 22:28

#

the one we was tlaking about is the one we was talking about

#

28If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29he shall pay her father fifty shekels c of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.

#

This is 28/

kindred ether
#

th wordst

#

wporst

#

wporst

timid mauve
#

Even though its presented as "protecting the victim"

kindred ether
timid mauve
#

Like all this is doing is making the victim be stuck w the abuser forever

kindred ether
#

The NIV is a very bad translation

#

Because they bad becuase they add stuff

#

they add stuff so its bad

#

the word they used was

#

To sleep with

#

they used the wrong word in this context

#

In the context the woman agrees to be with him

#

If that makes sense

timid mauve
#

???

kindred ether
#

So

#

erm

timid mauve
#

Like that implies consent but the whole thing is supposed to be about abuse

#

Like what is it then?

#

Also if its consensual why would the woman "scream but no one heard to rescue her"???

pearl mesa
kindred ether
#

the first one is describing a woman who does not want to sleep with the man

and the 2nd is describing a woman who wants to sleep with a man

In the first one the man must be put to death

but the 2nd the woman must merry him

kindred ether
timid mauve
kindred ether
#

Like reading both 28 and 29

#

not read 28 and end at 29

kindred ether
#

if that make snce

timid mauve
#

If it wasnt consensual it wouldnt be described as "Violated"

kindred ether
#

thats in the NVI

#

wich is a bad translation

#

a better one is esv or kjv

#

Here is the ESV!

25β€œBut 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. 26But you shall do nothing to the young woman; she has committed no offense punishable by death. For this case is like that of a man attacking and murdering his neighbor, 27because he met her in the open country, and though the betrothed young woman cried for help there was no one to rescue her.

#

and the 2nd where she agrees to be with him
28β€œIf a man meets a virgin who is not betrothed, and seizes her and lies with her, and they are found, 29then the man who lay with her shall give to the father of the young woman fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has violated her. He may not divorce her all his days.

timid mauve
#

"Violated" (past tense of violate) means to have broken, disregarded, or infringed upon a law, rule, agreement, or promise. It signifies a flagrant breach of standards, or, when applied to people or spaces, it refers to treating them with disrespect, invading privacy, or causing physical/sexual harm.

#

The second one is not consensual

#

Its still SA

#

If it was consensual it would say "violated"
