PrayIf given the chance what spiritual advice would you give a 16 year old girl who is to be stoned for adultery?
I would let her know that although her crime will not be forgiven by the government, it can be forgiven by God. He can give her comfort through her pain and take her to be with Him in heaven when she dies. All she needs to do is ask and trust that He will answer. I would also encourage her to forgive those who sinned against her- holding on to that anger will only hurt her and get in the way of her closeness with God. Just because he was not executed does not mean he won't suffer some punishment.
It is pretty much too late for spiritual advice to do her any good at this point. She does not have enough time to think about wether it is true or not. Therefore it would not be possible for her to truely believe any advice you give her to be true or not. Just not enough time for it to do any good. Whether we/you recognize what i just said as being true or not is a different story.
I would advise she ask her husband for forgiveness, then pray to the LORD for HIS forgiveness and ask to be spared the most painful blows. In other words, let the first blow be the deadly one then she won't feel the rest. If her husband truly loves her and forgives her, he will be the one to deal that blow to spare her the pain. Then she needs to accept her punishment without hysterics.
In the example given about ';those without sin, cast the first stone'; that was a trap to prove Jesus as a false ';prophet';. HE knew she was innocent of the crime they were accusing her of. She was not married or betrothed and was a free agent. Notice they didn't bring forth the man who apparently was as guilty as she would have been if there had been a crime. Her accusers disappeared, therefore no crime was committed. In the above example, the girl was married, was caught as was the man. They both were found guilty, they both should stand punishment. Unfortunately, she was born into a society where women and children are viewed as property. The man paid for damaging the goods, so to speak, and paid a dear price to keep his life. She has no such recourse, save that the husband could have chosen to divorce her. Her life would have been a living misery. Perhaps in some societies death is considered a kindness.
Tell her that every actions had their own responsibilities either good or bad and she should take it anyway if there is no chance to survive from the law..
You can tell her to pray to God to forgive her sin whatever she took and ask the God allow her to enter heaven, that's all you can do..
I don't know what I would do, but i can tell you what my Lord did. He looked at the ones that were going to stone that girl, which was the law of the day, and yes, it does seem to man got away with it, and told the ones that were without sin to cast the first stone- and then he said to the girl- GO AND SIN NO MORE. He was not excusing her sin, He was making the point that those men were sinners as well.
I'd tell her to suck it up and deal with it and if she had access to any alcohol to get good and drunk.
I'd tell her she isn't going to any heaven or hell. She will cease to exist upon her physical death. She is an evolved primate as we all are.
What do you expect anyone to answer?
Die well. You did say there was no way to stop it. If someone accused me of that and let the instigator free, I would demand he too be stoned to death. You are assuming that it is her fault entirely. I would tell he to take the b@$#*^d with her in death!
I'd say to her.
You're screwed !
Your god made these laws and instructed humans to implement them.
You are going to die a terrible death to appease this evil god.
The sad bit is, there is no god so this is all in vain.
I'd like to help you but it's too late.
Sorry.
So where is your problem all sounds fair to me we all know god hates em too and why kill a perfectly useful working man over one little mistake. Oh yes the girl, well I dont know, Oh yes thats it ';better luck next time sweetheart';
Let him who is without sin cast the first stone. For which you or no one can stone this girl or the man.
You have judged her rightly but I say again, Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
There is nothing you could say to comfort anyone who was going to suffer punishment like that. I would just tell her that there is no pain after death.
**** spiritual advice, she needs help.
Laws are limits created by man, she is going to hell on mans accord.
';Run away!';
No clue.
keep your legs together
