    The owner of the house went outside and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this outrageous thing. 24 Look, here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine. I will bring them out to you now, and you can use them and do to them whatever you wish. But as for this man, don’t do such an outrageous thing.”

    25 But the men would not listen to him. So the man took his concubine and sent her outside to them, and they raped her and abused her throughout the night, and at dawn they let her go. 26 At daybreak the woman went back to the house where her master was staying, fell down at the door and lay there until daylight.

    27 When her master got up in the morning and opened the door of the house and stepped out to continue on his way, there lay his concubine, fallen in the doorway of the house, with her hands on the threshold. 28 He said to her, “Get up; let’s go.” But there was no answer. Then the man put her on his donkey and set out for home.

    29 When he reached home, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, limb by limb, into twelve parts and sent them into all the areas of Israel. 30 Everyone who saw it was saying to one another, “Such a thing has never been seen or done, not since the day the Israelites came up out of Egypt. Just imagine! We must do something! So speak up!”

    Beautiful 🥲

      That’s like looking at a beautiful art piece and focusing on the tiny stain from the time when it was being painted that someone looking at it spilled coffee on it 🤣

        Except that piece of art isn’t guiding millions of people’s beliefs. What a dumb statement.

            Then it should be condemned and called out for the hate and bigotry that it represents. Lol. Not a hard concept.

              How were the passages you described calling for hate and/or bigotry? Also would be good to reference where the passages you got came from as well so you’re not taking them out of context

                I didn’t describe any passages. Arguing with someone who doesn’t believe in tangible reality is a waste of time. Thank you for the conversation.

        Oh you meant the beautiful parts of the new testament where it tells women to cover their hair and says they’re not allowed to speak in public if they’re with their husbands! So beautiful

          I think you’re referring to the rules surrounding the church in Corinth as to maintain dignity and order, but feel free to take anything out of context 🤣

            So, in order to maintain dignity and order, you believe women should be covered up and silent, or what?

              It was about the church in Corinth - they wanted to stand out from the pagans

                Right, and in the context of this conversation as a whole, this is beautiful according to you.

                  Considering that Christianity was revolutionary for women’s rights, yes.

                    That’s an entirely different point and also a big ol citation needed.

                why? pride? control? doesn’t sound like they would stand out for their common sense, compassion, or spirituality.

                  Considering they considered women as property to have sex with and they should be uncovered to please men, yeah, it would have been for their compassion.
