After reading some passages in Deuteronomy, I am questioning if the Biblical writers were okay with spousal rape, and by that I mean the husband raping his wife. Or did they think that the relationship status precludes rape. Here are some passages that I find questionable:

Deuteronomy 22:28-29

With free speech . . .

“A good Lie can get halfway around the world before the Truth even gets its boots on. But the Truth has a way of catching up.”

Nope. I don’t see it.

This is just so much wishful thinking.

For example, just too many of my fellow citizens have gone from anti-mandate to anti-vaccine.

I must say that I view prophecy or visions of the future as being the coolest spiritual gift that the Bible talks about.

Well meet Prophet Brandon Biggs who seems to have predicted the attempted assassination on Trump and the bullet hitting his ear.

The show called The View covered the border topic, esp. mass deportations. 3 out of the 4 hosts were against mass deportations.

About the possibility that the story of Christ first took place in Heaven, this is something I’ve read. It’s not original. However, I do find it intriguing.

A member posted an interested article about Adam and Eve and other Mesopotamian myths (sorta reminds of

Considering these connections, it becomes increasingly apparent that the Adam and Eve story is not a historical account but a symbolic and cultural creation. It serves as a mythological explanation for the origins of humanity and the presence of sin and suffering in the world. While the historicity of Adam and Eve remains questionable, the story's enduring power lies in its capacity to explore complex philosophical and existential questions in an engaging and relatable manner.

Why did Paul not give more of the details. For example, why didn’t Paul write something like: I was told by ________ , a believer I have the highest respect for. And he had long, heartfelt discussions with __ different persons who were there. And although we might sometimes wish for more, to have heart-to-heart discussions with __ is better than superficial discussions with a greater number.

But there’s nothing like this.

We just get the sparse claim of “After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, . . “ No time, no place, no name or a person. And in other places in his writings, Paul does include the names of persons.

Why did Paul not include this claim in any of his later writings?
