Quote (Not3in1 @ April 27 2007,08:57)I recently was a part of a Bible study on this topic.  The male leader said that even if his wife was being raped and killed in front of him, he wouldn't resort to violence to protect her.  When I asked why he said that he would have to believe she would rest in the Lord if she was killed, but that he had to t…[Read more]
