If a woman is raped and has a child, isnt that rape part of gods plan?

Great question! I've been waiting for a worthwhile question for like 15 minutes. Anyway The only thing I can gather that would cause a man to say something like that is that he must be a strict Calvinist.

Calvinism greatly diminishes mans free will to almost the point of us being robots. In that case, it is clear to see how they could make such a claim. On the other hand, what the bible really teaches is that, yes, God is sovereign.

However, He has also granted us free will. It is quite complicated trying to know free will from His sovereignty sometimes, but nonetheless they are both there. In the case of a rape, I'd say that NEVER NEVER NEVER would God actually want something like this to happen, no more than the fact that God obviously didn't like when Joseph's brothers sold him into slavery, or that Abraham slept with Sarah's slave.

However, what God WILL DO is He will use circumstances to bring about a greater purpose. In other words, I think that God would never want a man to rape a woman. But if a man exercised his free will and did it, God could bring this child into the world and make good come from it.

Perhaps the woman will love this child tremendously. Or perhaps the child will be a genius. When I was young, I was molested by an older guy.

My sister actually dated him a couple of years later, and got pregnant by him by choice. This was a very hard thing to deal with, and when she had the baby I didn't really want anything to do with it because it reminded me of the hurt. Over the years, this boy has become a great man.

He is one of the people I like most out of my entire family, and I would do anything to help him out. He is brilliant, going to medical school, very mature, and very honest, and a Christian. God will take the most terrible circumstances and bring about a blessing you could never have imagined.

God didn't want Joseph to be sold as a slave or beat by his brothers. But He used this event to place Joseph in Egypt, and eventually he was 2nd in command of the most powerful country on Earth.

We should all thank that fat-@ss WASP for spelling out how racist & hateful that myth is when you include the OT, which Jesus does. @ Bennie, I know you are trying to justify that malignant POS you've been raised with, taught there was a kind, loving being in control the whole time but it's time to wake up! No way could a being be all-knowing and kind, given history unless it was not all- powerful.

I neither believe in mono theism either, but that's another argument. @ aunt bee, go to any womans sonogram at 5 months or before and I dare you to show me a full term baby inside a womb! Know why that's not the case?

Because it is not yet an actual human! It is not 'created' by an all-knowing being. The animals that are tortured, then killed for food have more functioning brain cells than a fetus does at that point.

You can also go to an orphanage and see all the disabled children there...one's that are unadoptable for whatever reason (BTW, that's also a lot of welfare money) If abortions are murder, then what does that make miscarriages and still-births? God performed abortions? @ imabeast, nope, rape is punishable by making the rape victim marry the rapist... ' If a man is caught in the act of raping a young woman who is not engaged, he must pay fifty pieces of silver to her father.

Then he must marry the young woman because he violated her, and he will never be allowed to divorce her' Deuteronomy 22:28-29.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
