I already showed verses saying that children are not "old enough for love." Under biblical conditions, love is required for marriage, and marriage is required for sex. Furthermore, the bible doesn't say that people cannot consent under duress, but it's pretty obviously implied when the bible condemns rape, that threatening people to have sex is wrong. Rape is an umbrella term; it's understood that people reading the bible will know what rape is. The bible doesn't specifically condemn shooting a child with a gun, but since murder is condemned, it's obviously included.

But one of a few different popular quotes from the Bible:

“Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea."

Jesus' quote clearly associates marriage with adulthood.

Premarital sex is condemned as well, so restrictions on marriage are restrictions on sex.

In ancient Israel, rape was punishable by death.

Sex with children is rape, since children cannot consent.

There are verses that strongly imply children cannot consent until sometime after puberty

Marriage is always specified in the bible as between a man and a woman, never between children.

However, there are many quotes from the Bible that show (support) against it.

The metaphor of Jerusalem as a young woman,

By 'context,

Shows what 'proper action towards a woman is,

Implies what 'improper action towards a child is.

Parables are explained 'most of all,

By ourselves.

I have stated my view of what the Bible says.

"You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness."

The obvious route paved,

Is don't have sex with children.

The Bible doesn't 'need to use exact English as I use it.

Jesus spoke in parables,

Parables need be parsed,

This need not mean Jesus was not making philosophical statements.

The Bible does not explicitly cite punishment for everything it discourages,

It is enough to discourage it

To call to human sanity, empathy,

The negative effects of child molestation obvious enough.

But even for the laws stated by the Bible,

Many are statements of other civilizations, societies, individuals,

'Other than our own,

That by our own human nature or history,

Might have a connection to ourselves.

Not 'always God claimed,

The words spoken in the Bible,

In my view, 'were I a Christian.

A claim is often implicit in a question.

Often a question exists, that the questioned comes to the 'claim, themself, through their thought process, following an obvious route, paved by the question.

"would you wait for them to grow up?"

Implies that it is wrong at 'some point in human development.

I say the Bible says it clear enough in the passage I cited.

Not expected 'does mean wrong.

Stating that proper behavior is X,

Implies that not following X is wrong.

It is enough in our lives to know it is wrong,

Enough that the Bible mentions it,

Historical Social commentary of it's time,

That we can see some other people knew it as wrong as well. Laws vary,

Some the Bible states itself,

Other's, we make ourselves,

With the Bible as part of our understanding and foundation.

(For people who are religious anyhow)

"would you wait for them to grow up?"

Is there not an implication,

Of different stages in an individuals life?

Baby, childhood, adult?

Is there not implication that marriage 'before of age, is not expected?

I thought you were leaving DART?

I often want, or not,

To engage with a topic,

Because of the 'people discussing it.

But you were making comparisons between then and now.

I wish you'd be more. . . straightforward honest

It doesn't say anything in the bible about a lot of things.

 if creation is the foundation of evolution why would the process suddenly stop after several billion years

and the magic dude suddenly decide to make a unique animal.

Same format as most higher mammals, and other animals

What does God tell us about pedophiles?

What does the Bible say about pedophiles?

God hates sin.  That is true. But does that extend to the people? That is a further question.

I thought that a Hindu would be more flexible and fluid in their position.

I would suggest that creation and evolution are compatible theories.

The complaints assume that BK's logic here runs something like: 

P1: All faithful Christians must obey the Bible

P2: The Bible command the death of gays

C1: Therefore, faithful Christians must murder gay people

Wow, you hate Jews and Homosexuals, don't you?

By telling us you would take the bible over the findings of science, and that you don't care care if we showed you proof to contradict your cherished beliefs, you are explicitly telling us that you aren't concerned with finding out what is actually real, but rather just picking and choosing whatever beliefs make you feel good.

I believe X because the bible says so it's not an argument, it's a pronouncement.

Reality is defined as "all that exists"

if there is a heaven and that heaven is run by God, they would be part of reality

Translation: I pick and choose what I believe, because I don't care about reality, I only care about what makes me feel good

Then you're entire thread is disqualified at the outset

Yes, God killed his only son because he was gay. The Resurrection was just a coverup so God wouldn't lose his God license.

I don't think i feel bad or ok with it.

I think nothing of it.

So, you prefer to live under a dictatorship, is that correct?

Beliving in god means you can't ever wear a dress.

Ya can't ever never kiss a boy.

And you cant believe in EVO.

I know im going to hell for playing them two games of  " suck me offs "  with my neighbor allllllllll them years ago.
