The moral code is still in effect. Rape is part of it.

Exactly my point. If you are going to take one of the laws for Israel, you have to take all of them. Can't pick and choose a la carte.
The moral code remains.

But doesnt the OT also say " but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
Honestly, I don't think it does.
Never hold a rapist accountable. Sounds like a plan.

Strawman argument.

If you read that passage in context, it’s speaks of rape against a woman that is engaged to be married. They considered her to married already. If the man raped her in the city and she doesn’t “cry out”, then both are killed. It was considered adultery.
Are you sure you want to live under a law that demands the rape victim is also put to death if she doesn’t resist enough?
I believe another part of deut says if a man rapes a woman not engaged, he is required to marry her and never divorce her.
Are you sure you want to live under a law that requires a rape victim to marry the rapist and stay with him for life?
peace to you

Exactly. You can't just pick and choose what you want.
It's not a straw man. Turning the other cheek means letting go without consequence.
No. You were trying to tell me killing a rapist is unGodly. I showed you where God ordered them killed. Guess God was unGodly.
You mean something like what Jesus does, when he forgives us of our sin?

And another Strawman argument. I said YOU killing a rapist, is ungodly. The government, that's a different issue.
again Reynolds - it would be justified ONLY if you catch him in the act - and then you stop when the threat is over.

Terrorist, as has been pointed out, is a loaded term. Are these people on the same level as the 9/11 hijackers or Timothy McVeigh? No. Are their crimes equal? No. I think that is the issue. But if you look at the dictionary definition of terrorism, that is exactly what it is. Now, the legal definition, that is a different question. I do not believe it falls within the legal definition of terrorism. 18 U.S. Code § 2331 - Definitions | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute (cornell.edu)
I f you will read Deuteronomy, you will see the executions are sanctioned to be administered by govt or close family of victim.
Because the Democrats are trying to use the Patriot act to take away the freedom of anyone they can successfully pin the label of terrorist or domestic terrorist on.
You talking about USA law or Deuteronomy law?
