[QUOTE=Revenant Threshold] Buh? Consent, baby. [/QUOTE] I think there was too much of an intimidation factor to call it consent. The whole servant/Lord thing needs to be taken into consideration. We might go for a more lenient sentence, but I think we still need to prosecute. ---

I like to think of it as the condition of the fallen world we live in. God can pronounce judgment on the world at any time and that would mean our destruction, but by postponing judgment it allows us time to repent and turn to Him. ---
