I don't think she had much choice in the matter....

I do not think she desired it either, at least not at first. But that creepiness (which is no refection on G_d, only on man's sin nature) is used to somehow discredit or call into question the Bible and/or G_d.

Here on this thread we actually saw some use the story to shore up the idea that fornication is 'okay' Biblically.

Fair enough.....

I see the Bible (now) like a box full of broken glass and diamonds. Some diamonds tossed out for for glass. Easier to say "it is all perfect" than to dig through and sort the diamonds from the glass. Might get your fingers bloody.

My (mental) salvation as a child came with the parable of the talents (use your brain). From then on, 'faith and gods will' became the 'I am afraid to question' answer.

So, anyhow, bottom line, it is a creepy (broken glass) story.....
