23“If a young woman who is a virgin is engaged (legally betrothed) to a man, and another man finds her in the city and is intimate with her, 24then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city and stone them to death--the young woman because she did not cry out for help [though she was] in the city, and the man because he has violated his neighbor’s [promised] wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.
“The woman was to be executed for disgracing her virginity; the man was to be executed because he humbled his neighbor’s wife. Interestingly, the woman was considered the wife of another man, even though she was only betrothed, and was still a virgin, having not yet consummated the marriage.” (Guzik)
The Bible is the word of God and some may not like His ordnance’s and rules but look at where we are now in society because of sin! We are all guilty and contributing to the decay!
If only we worked as hard for His kingdom as we do for material things!
Lord open our eyes, minds and hearts 💕 and use us for Your glory, in Jesus name I pray. Amen
Blessings
