Bible Question:
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! |
Bible Answer: Patts, I am very sorry about what you have been through, however I am very happy to hear you have come to know Jesus as your Lord and Savior. As far as purity in connection to what has happened to you No God does not consider you unpure. Also remember this that when you came to Christ He made you a new creature a gave you a new life the past is gone and God remembers it no more. Try sapeaking with your pastor about his matter he can most likely help you in one of several ways, either direct counceling or recommending a good biblical councelor who can personally help you through this with the scriptures. In The Love Of Christ, tgc |
