1 | Purity in concerns with being raped | Bible general Archive 2 | Patts | 124969 | ||
Hi, I'm a fairly new Christian (about half a year now) and I'm working on dealing with my past in accordance to scripture. When I was younger I was raped and am just now coming to terms with it and starting the path to recovery. I am doing well as God is carrying me but I have encountered one problem: The issue of Purity. In the bible (as far as know - remember I'm new) there is nothing about rape or if your are concidered pure after rape and what God thinks of it ect. ect. so if anyone out there can help me that would be awsome! :) Praise be to God! |

2 | Purity in concerns with being raped | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 124972 | ||
Patts, God bless you. You cannot be made impure by what someone else does to you. Jesus said what defiles a person is what comes from their heart not something from outside them. Although the passages below refer to unclean foods, the principle can also apply in situation such as you have experienced. Matt 15:11 "It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man." Mark 7:20 And He was saying, "That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. God peace be with you. Emmaus |
