Though time marches on, the sins of the sinful echo in the dark. By the first century A.D. sexual crimes against children were commonplace and accepted by the populations of ancient Greece and Rome.

And such were some of you.” (1 Corinthians 6:9–11) Therefore, it must be said that I believe that Paul argued strongly against homosexuality and pedophilia. Many persons in the Church have been historically found as participating in this sin... or have had knowledge of this terrible travesty. Child abuse is not new to Christians. This abuse was present in the early Church, performed in the Reformation, and still remains with us even unto the present day.

As well, they claim that the child Jesus was born predetermined to grow into a man destined to being crucified. Using these ridiculous points, erroneous claiming this divine child abuse... These miscreants try to deflect the predatory nature of their own addictions. First consider that Mary gave consent and joyous applause to her pregnancy. Second, realize that Jesus went to the cross willingly... in deliberate fashion as the Son of Almighty God to save those who would believe |
