Are you saying, because of Jesus Cross, now men can rape beautiful women so they can have children with them? And the beautiful women cannot say no? They have to give their body to feed the children of the men who rape them?
This is a hard question. In some states the rapist has parental rights over his child so if the mother keeps the child, then she has to deal with the rapist for the rest of her life. This amounts to inflicting life long trauma on an innocent woman.
It is most terrible to say that something is moral, when actually it is perpetuating injustice all the way, isn’t it? (And the context goes beyond US law).
Instead of promoting do not rape, it provide a way (rape) for men to have access to whoever women they want.
Isn’t that similar to the situation in Genesis 6?
For a long time I did not understand the meaning of Genesis 6. Especially the part “sons of god” and “daughters of man”. It clearly depict gender inequallity which creates children who believe in wars. They became the most renown warriors (
verse 4).
When gender inequality happens in front of you throughout your life time as a child of “sons of god” and “daughters of man”, you would seek through “muscle powers” the
missing justice at home, and at the community around you throughout your lifetime. while the women are left with least choice and clueless of their own rights, therefore perpetuating the breach of human rights, not only hers, but also for her future generations (male & female), ie her children and probably grand grand children too.
Despite they became heroes of their time, the outcome of the social injustice that begins with gender inequality is depicted in verse5:
Genesis 6:5
5 The Lord saw that the wickedness of humankind was great in the earth, and that
every inclination of the thoughts of their hearts was only evil continually.
