Technically it is part of the ten commandments.. I believe it falls under the eighth and tenth commandments.. If you rape someone, you are taking away their purity, dignity, and peace of mind.. that, to me, sounds like stealing.. it is also taking away something that belongs only to that person.. hope that makes sense!
My mind? I am thinking about the sermon i am writing for Fine Arts, thinking about my future, thinking about my family, thing of more arguments I can make against a raging athiest in my class, and as always wondering if i can evr do enough good to erase my sins.
I knwo, but I want to show God that I feel bad for my sins and I am willing to do what ever it takes to make as much restitution for them as I can in this life. i knw I can never erase their stain completly and that only the blood of Christ can do that through my relationship with him, but i need to do good so that I am worthy of his grace in my mind, i want to show him that I will sacrifice and suffer for him as well as never stop loving him.You don't have to worry about doing enough good to erase sins. We can never be good enough. Jesus Christ did the sin erasing when he took it all on the cross and later rose again to defeat sin and death. With Christ that's not an issue if you have a relationship with him.

Interesting you use the word "Technically" because it doesn't say "You shall not force (someone) to have sex against their will". There's nothing remotely close to that.
But you find the connection within Commandment 8 (You shall not steal). That's an interesting point of view considering the commandments point out specifically, "You shall not covet your neighbor's wife" which is a form of stealing as well right? So, it's almost repeating itself.
What's on my mind? Going off-topic here but I felt like this question shouldn't go unanswered.
I'm depressed most of the time, not because I was rejected but because I know I could make this girls life better. It eats me up when i'm not busy. Going to sleep is hard and when I wake up she's the first thing I usually think about.
Anyway, it feels therapeutic to express pain when I feel it.
Sorry for wasting any-ones time.
First of all, never think you're wasting anyone's time by expressing your pains or feelings. You'd be surprised how many people in our little community here care for you. So by all means, bring up any issue you have! There's always a free ear here to listen
There's definitely some therapeutic releif when expressing pain. I know the same stuff you're going through right now with this girl you care for. It sucks. Sucks somethin' fierce. Hurts to think sometimes, as you've expressed feeling when trying to go to sleep, or waking in the morning. There's not much I can offer for relief though. But I did want to say that I know what you're going through. Going through it right now. And sometimes knowing someone else feels like crap as well is a little comforting. It always works out though, it always works out. God's finger pushing you in the back toward some unseen result of this problem.
whats on my mind? I came to this webiste in hopes of finding an argument free place to comune with others and voice my beleifs, but so far i have been harrassed, called a child, a pagan, and all because of my denominational beleifs.
