This series will cover the sins of the flesh, mans in-humanity to man and Gods view of such acts. Man is destroying himself, for Satan has gotten a hold on multitudes. Multitudes that are in the valley of decision.

We all must make decisions in this life some are for the preservation of religion and family and others for to sin or not to sin. Violation of any individual in a sexual context is considered rape. Violent rape is when violence beyond the rape itself is a part of the assault. This may include physical force or threat of harm, including death threats or threats against a family member. People who commit violent rapes include strangers and people the victim already knows.

The most common effect of rape on victims is psychological. In the past, survivors of rape and sexual assault were often diagnosed with Rape Trauma Syndrome, then considered an psychological disorder. RTS is no longer considered a diagnosis, but rather a set of normal psychological and physiological reactions that a victim is likely to experience. These include, but are not limited to, feelings of guilt and shame, tension, anger, eating disturbances, and sometimes depression.

The greatest example in scripture is of Tamar and Amnon, the daughter and son of King David.Lets read; 2Sa 13:10-13:15; And Amnon said unto Tamar, Bring the meat into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And Tamar took the cakes which she had made, and brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. And when she had brought them unto him to eat, he took hold of her, and said unto her, Come lie with me, my sister. And she answered him, Nay, my brother, do not force me; for no such thing ought to be done in Israel: do not thou this folly. And I, whither shall I cause my shame to go? and as for thee, thou shalt be as one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, I pray thee, speak unto the king; for he will not withhold me from thee.

Howbeit he would not hearken unto her voice: but, being stronger than she, forced her, and lay with her. Then Amnon hated her exceedingly; so that the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her. And Amnon said unto her, Arise, be gone. As you can see, Amnon was greatly in love with the idea of having his own sister, he mistook lust for her for love. “the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than the love wherewith he had loved her.” After this act, you can see how the love turned to hate. It was not what he expected nor wanted. A sin that would lead to others to satisfy the flesh and a sin that would eventually lead to death. That is the way with rapest today and thru-out history.

One rape leads to another because a need for love is never satisfied with force nor deception. In speaking of death, we see two different kinds, 1. Death of the Body, thru punishment for the act, and 2. Death of the spirit, that leads to the destruction of the soul. As with all sin, once is not enough. To satisfy the desire, need, lust, greed, absence and lonely-ness, sin is continuously in search of the next thrill. As with many drugs users today, sin is addictive. Its like telling a lie and then telling another to cover-up the first and so on.
Deu 22:25-27; But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. As you see in Deu 22:25-27, God ordained death for the act of Rape.

Rape in not only between a man and a woman but also in these last days, between men and children (Boys). Deceiving men, decieveing children into acts that are against nature and the Body. Acts against all that God has ordained to be proper and righteous. These men have no conscience nor scruples as to these acts but rather enjoy them and seek out others that also are in league with them. In Romans 1:31-32, Paul states it this way; Without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

In The Book of Psalms 50:16-19 we see; But unto the wicked God saith, What hast thou to do to declare my statutes, or that thou shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth? Seeing thou hatest instruction, and castest my words behind thee. When thou sawest a thief, then thou consentedst with him, and hast been partaker with adulterers. Thou givest thy mouth to evil, and thy tongue frameth deceit. “Who knowing the judgment of God “ These men and all men know the law of man and God concerning these shameful acts. They know that the word states that the punishment will fit the crime. But today the punishment doesn't fit the crime any more, for man has soften his view of rape and his view on sin in general. Jude 1:4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

The effects on the victims are great and varied. Depression is one of the greatest of these, closely followed by self condemnation. As you can see in Deu 22:25-27, God holds no sin against the woman or should we say victim, but all the fault and punishment is directed toward the one committing the act. Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. The victim is not at fault, the victim is not to blame, its the one who has disregarded Gods law and mandates, that are at fault. So then, what happen to Amnon?

Lets read about his punishment. 2Sa 13:19-20; And Tamar put ashes on her head, and rent her garment of divers colours that was on her, and laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. And Absalom her brother said unto her, Hath Amnon thy brother been with thee? but hold now thy peace, my sister: he is thy brother; regard not this thing.

So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom's house. 2Sa 13:28-29; Now Absalom (Amnons and Tamars Brother) had commanded his servants, saying, Mark ye now when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say unto you, Smite Amnon; then kill him, fear not: have not I commanded you? be courageous, and be valiant. And the servants of Absalom did unto Amnon as Absalom had commanded. Then all the king's sons arose, and every man gat him up upon his mule, and fled.
