Harold Camping, the guy that's saying all this, also said the same thing in 1994, IIRC...

Critics of the Bible must be careful not to impose their present day moral system upon that of an ancient culture found in Scripture and then judge Scripture as though it is inferior to their own subjective morality. The above verses were written 3,000 years ago in a very different culture and location. Sexual purity was very highly valued, unlike today, and when a man would marry a woman, her virginity was critical. In ancient times a dowry was paid to the father of the bride and the rightful expectation was that the bride would be a virgin.
In the culture of the time it was the father who was charged with the covering, care, and well-being of his daughter. Her sexual purity was representative of the father's ability to raise her according to the laws God. Therefore, in that culture, a man's reputation, as well as the family's reputation in the community, could be adversely affected by the fornication of his daughter. If his daughter had been promised to a man to be married, and a dowry had been paid, there was every expectation from the bridegroom that she would be a virgin. If the contrary was discovered after the marriage, then the implication is that there had been a deception in which the father could be implicated, or it would mean that he was unaware of her sin and this would bring great shame to the family and the community, not to mention it being a display of outright rebellion against God's law. In this case, to insure the integrity of the family, and to remove the evil of adulterous/fornication from the community, stoning was advocated.
Finally, she was not stoned for not being a virgin, but for carrying out a deception in trying to appear as one
i am not at all trying to argue just thought this kinda explains that I respect what u believe

Two problems with the bible. 1) It can be interpreted in a thousand different ways. 2) Its been passed by word, tampered with, and translated so many times that the words in it are far from original. Just as an example, the English version of the bible says Jesus was a carpenter, when in fact the original word means "one who works with hands". Many words arent translatable.
Hope you got good aim, stopping wastes gas
Different people interpret the bible differently for the same reason that 12 witnesses to a crime will report 12 different sets of events. People are all different. Everyone has unique experiences that color the way they interpret all that they see, hear, feel, read etc. As long as there is more than one person around there will be more than one interpretation of every story

I feel that you are still quite young and have not yet had your mind opened to more than what your parents have shown you. I was like this a few years back, but since then, I have become more open minded and have realized the corruption and major flaws of any institution (gov't, religion, etc.). I doubt more than I did a few years back and find myself questioning a lot of what's simply stated, and taken, as fact by many.
I don't mean this as a personal attack, just what I've gathered from your postings so far; you are very by the book and haven't given other ideas thought.
I mean maby i havent opened my mind to other options or other things. but hopefully waht i believe know will stay with me and i wont start doubting things. because for me its more than my parents
