Tamar!

Raped by her Brother and then hated by Him?

With the many translations of the Holy Bible and the many search engines the term rape is not to be found in them and in relation to this account many have implied incest, but consensual sex is not rape!

Tamar was raped and the Hebrew word here is used in the context that this young woman was over powered by her brother, Stongs H7901 Shakav.

Later on in the end of the account we have the term violated H6031 Anah, but still not raped?

It is not clear why the term rape is not used, perhaps since it was mostly men doing the translation and they ignored the emphasis to suit there own power over the woman?

Adultery and Divorce!

A plague in modern Society?

Marriage today has become cheap, being not much more than a fad something to be experienced and then broken up and put aside?

No longer is marriage between and man and a woman, but now it is same sex running contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible because its based on selfish motives and lust over that of love and forgiveness!

Christians are failing to speak out or to condemn evil practices in our nations and society! The fear of man now predominates the Church were ever it has got a foothold?

There does not seem to be a separation line between faith and the world, something to show that when we are born-again we have become a changed people? We have to live in the world, but the world must not live in us influencing us back to what we were before!

Believers need to show couples getting married in Churches the seriousness of what they are doing, the vows and promises they are making to God first and then to each other! The need to forgive when each will fail, to know that we have to forgive, since He first forgave us!

That same sex marriage is wrong and is an abomination to God, love here is not the question but rather lust which is evil and leads to many other sexual sins!
