Question for the Christians and theologists here:
How is the Bible meant to be interpreted? How can I accept the idea of holiness and divinity when there are passages like:
“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 NAB)
I’ve come to realize that religion can be useful in society, particularly in this increasingly degenerate and nihilistic age, but it really does come across as barbaric. Wouldn’t I have to agree with the Bible in its entirety to be a good Christian? I don’t understand how I can accept the Lord at this point, blindly agreeing with the morals it presents.
