Peace Southie

Apologies … I didn’t reply to you. It is not what I believe, but how I can justify what has happened in various instances regarding adultery and its prescribed punishment.

Adultery like any crime has to be determined for blame … for example a married rape victim has no blame, likewise society’s condition needs to share some blame for adultery if it is seen to glamourise the act. The way the blame is shifted is to reduce the maximum penalty to something lower. In circumstances when there is no sensible reason to shift or share blame then the participants for the act need to be given the full penalty - as has been demonstrated. However, they are only given the full, if it can be proven against them. 4 eye witnesses were considered proof in those days … so long as they all were recognised for having upright characters and found not to be colluding with one another. Today proof can be obtained from other sources such as DNA testing. Or if the participants themselves confess and continue to do so until they have been given the penalty.

Why would they want to be given punishment in this life - it is to reduce or cleanse them for the Hereafter.

People need to understand that the judgement of God is the hardest to bear if there is anything that we can do to reduce it in this world we should …

Thanks Psyah. No problems re: late reply. It depresses me to read your response. I know your response was sincere and is what you believe to be fair. It is my hope your views will evolve with passage of time.

Beyond that, I have learnt in last 2 months from my experience not to drag this further. ( a wise lady pointed out I engage in too many useless and baseless arguments. I am afraid there was some truth to it).
