Sorry for the late reply Monksailor and thanks so much for your time and trying to help. I would like to let you know that I'll try to reply to this tomorrow but I read it. The first important thing to say though is that I think you should sleep on time so perhaps you should reply to me at a later time but I find it sacrificial but probably not in the right way as I think God would like you to sleep on time.

Are you saying that sexual assault is equal to sex (sexual intercourse)??? please, state whether you are sure about this or not. And would you say that if one is raped then the two become one even if it was not consensual? (btw I have never been raped) What do other Christians say on this?
Thanks
This is what my bible says on 1 Cor. 6:16-20,
Do you not know that he who unites himself with a prostitute is one with her in body? For it is said, "The two will become one flesh." But he who unites himself with the Lord is one with him in spirit. Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a man commits are outside his body, but he who sins sexually sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body.


No, there is a misunderstanding. I mean, A believes B commited sexual assault (from the behind). If B did not commit sexual assault then there was a D which A is 99.9% doubtful of. A is 99.9% doubtful there was a D. sexual assaut is a violation of the law. A was an adult and Christian and was not drunk and reacted badly to it. You're right, it is never the same after sexual assault or abuse occurs. A feels there's always a scar. Thanks for your point of view. This situation was years ago. A could've done better but was not experienced so A feels she could have a curse on her; in fact A already feels cursed. So are you saying that A shouldn't have told C, the wife of B and should've just talked to B about going to a qualified mediator together and if B didn't want to and denied it then to report it immediately?
A doesn't feel that what C did was bad since C is the wife of B. B denied it. I am so sorry you were so hurt deeply, Monksailor. I will pray for you

IMO sexual assault is a forced, whether physically or psychologically manipulated, taking advantage of someone in a sexual manner which may or may not involve intercourse. The victim could be a voluntary participant out of coercion or psychological manipulation.

IMO if A had been treated by B as you have given, that IS rape, unless A was NOT under duress, psychologically manipulated, and was a voluntary, consenting adult.

the lords_pearl, Whatever you did in response to this relative to trying to deal with it and work it out is commendable if it was not like cutting off a part of B's anatomy, burning him in bed as he slept, or just just finishing his miserable life. I commend you. But this type of assault requires the involvement of professional people as I have said. It is a violation of the most intimate parts of an individual and the violation is really so intense that one needs help to work it all out, REALLY. Yes, the verse you brought up is involved here and it is complex. You need private and professional counsel: spiritually, legally, and psychologically. PLEASE DO NOT MINIMIZE THIS. YOU ARE NOT CURSED. You may feel like it as long as you refuse to deal with it in the healthy way which I suggest. Satan WILL use it to oppress, harass, and maybe even obsess you but satan can never possess a true Christian as the Holy Spirit, stronger than satan, already resides in you.

Can any valid Christian help me in this thread? My questions and thoughts I will put down here. I would like a thorough understanding of this topic.
Should a Christian ever report a member of their family or friend?
For instance, if your sister or friend stole something from a store (theft) and you know about it, in accordance to the law (man-made law), you should report it, but as a xtian, is it right that you don't always report a crime even if you know about it or were a victim and should seek Godly counsel in prayer and through the Holy Spirit? Thanks

Any replies for my questions in post #27? Thanks!
I think this is an advanced question, not foundational so that I can't have beginner Christians answering this question. Yes foundationally by man-made law you're supposed to report a crime even if it's your family or friend, but in my conclusion, being a Christian also means that if the Holy Spirit speaks against logical reasoning, you r to be silent. What are others' opinion on this topic. Thank you
