Question and Response from Bible Sermon Series 22.11.2023 17:57

1. Could the Deut. passage be about non-marital sexual relations rather than rape (such as in Ex. 22:16)? Elsewhere, God punishes rape with death, not marriage. 2. How do we reconcile two different and even contradictory interpretations of Scripture while still believing in and prioritizing the authority of Scripture?

1. From the 8/6 sermon a story was told in which it was implied that being republican equates to being racist. Do you believe that the republican party are racist? 2.
