Victims are usually considered innocent against the accused for a reason, until they are shown to be guilty as well.
....like the poor stripper
Stripping would be illegal.
who ends up raped at a frat party.
A stripper is not to blame for being raped. The blame for rape falls on the rapist.
The stripper would be punished as well, for fornication and/or adultery, and the punishment would depend on which.
Your answers are not well thought out.
The only reason I can think of that would make you say that is that you're not paying attention to what I'm saying.
Is it vigilante justice you seek?
What kind of a question is that?
The "victim" should be careful or he will be charged with driving his wife into the arms of another.
You claim there
is no victim in adultery. Now you're saying there is?
Who is the victim of adultery, GD?
Another question for you as a follow up:
Do you know what the Bible says about the rape victim's innocence?
You'd have to rename a lot of things, as well as fix a law where a woman would have to submit to an invasive test
Criminals lose many of their rights when they commit a crime. The victim has a right to a fair and speedy trial.
on the demand of a disgruntled husband.
This is special pleading.
If the husband has evidence that his wife is cheating on him, or perhaps he caught her in the act, and brought her before a judge, the judge could rightly demand that the woman be tested, and such evidence, if there were bodily fluids not her own in her body, would be the second witness. after the eyewitness of her husband catching her in the act.
(If they were dumb enough to have unprotected sex.)
You mean: if they were dumb enough to commit adultery...
Stop whining boys. The so called "victim" in these cases is seldom, if ever, innocent.
So blame the victim, is that it?
That's wicked, GD, you should know better.
Yep, a person reaps what they sow.
People have a right to fail. People do not, however, have the right to commit a crime.
Whether it is a husband who has failed in his role as a husband,
If a husband has failed in his role as a husband, that doesn't excuse his wife from cheating on him.
and gets left in the lurch, or a girl who decides she can strip
Stripping would not be legal in the first place.
and ends up getting raped.
This is putting the blame on the victim.
Again, GD, I ask, what does the Bible says about the rape victim's innocence?
Again, people have a right to fail. People do not have the right to commit a crime based on other people's failures.
Crying victim is the new normal.
Which is why the Bible says that a woman, if she is being assaulted, should cry out, struggle, do everything she can to get away from her attacker.
Today, liberals teach "just allow it to happen and go to court later."
Because righteousness does not come from the law.
So what?
We're talking about justice. Not righteousness.
Similar topics, yes, but different in their scope.
You can't make more laws and stop crime or sin.
I completely agree.
But we're not (or at least, I'm not) talking about stopping crime.
We're talking about deterrence of crime, making so that people don't WANT to commit crimes.
Just like more gun laws won't mean less killing. Adultery laws won't mean less adultery.
"Do not murder. If you murder, you will be executed after conviction on the testimony of two or three witnesses in a trial."
"Do not commit adultery. If you commit adultery, you will be executed after conviction on the testimony of two or three witnesses in a trial."
That's all you need. No regulating how one goes about having relationships, no regulations on how you can purchase guns.
Just a law that says do not murder.
Just a law that says do not commit adultery.
And the punishment for both will deter people from committing the crime. Not the law itself, but the punishment for breaking the law.
You only change one crime for another...usually more deadly.
So therefore..?
If a child hits his sister, and then you punish the child, but later he pulls her hair after hitting her, do punish him for only pulling her hair, or do you punish him for both pulling hair and hitting his sister?
You don't stop enforcing justice just because the criminals try to get back at society.
The Bible teaches that punishments should be appropriate to the crime committed.
First kill the husband so he can't bring charges against you....or vice versa, as the case may be.
Then on top of adultery, the spouse would be guilty of murder.
He or she would still be executed.
Leave no witnesses is the code of anyone faced with serious charges.
Criminals are generally poor problem solvers.
Makes perfect sense to me.
Committing a crime makes sense?
:shocked:
My question is; "Who's going to pay for all this stuff,
Considering that the government would be limited to two roles, criminal justice and infrastructure, the government would pay for it with money from the 5% personal increase tax.
and the people's salaries who now have to sift through it all?"
The police would be charged with enforcing the law, investigations, etc. The judge (of which there would be over 15 million (based on 120M households), using the system provided in Exodus 18. Judges would not be paid.
What kind of kit would be used on an adulterous man?
Why would a kit be used on a man? The woman is the one you test...
And if the husband is committing adultery with another man, then the punishment is still death, based on two or three witnesses.
