Short Answer: The Bible clearly condemns rape as a sin and an act of violence. It never excuses sexual abuse, but consistently defends the dignity of the victim, demands justice for the oppressed, and reveals God's heart for the broken.

In a world filled with pain, abuse, and injustice, many people turn to the Bible asking hard questions: What does God think about rape? Does the Bible support or condemn violence? How should Christians respond to abuse and injustice?

This article explores what the Bible truly says about rape, abuse, violence, and related issues, rooted in biblically accurate theology, historical context, and compassionate interpretation. We will examine both clear moral teachings and the hard-to-understand passages, such as those in Deuteronomy, to reveal the consistent biblical message: God hates injustice, condemns sexual violence, and cares deeply for victims.

Whether you’re a believer seeking clarity or someone exploring the Bible with honest questions, this guide aims to provide trusted, well-researched, and spiritually grounded answers—anchored in Scripture, not speculation.
