Oooh, a Calvinist!
I would reply to you but this is an introductory thread and we're not allowed a lot of things in introductory thread. If you could make a new thread somewhere where you could ask your questions, that would be nice.
I will say this, though. If someone molested my kid, and then told me that his excuse is that "Scripture told me to do so", I would probably shoot them in the head anyway (yes, I should love even those who molest my children, I know) and think they're nuts. If your Scripture is telling you to do or believe immoral things, you should check your understanding, or check your Scripture, not blindly accept it whatever it is so then later at judgment you find yourself arguing with God who said that he gave you a conscience that clearly is against child molestation while you sit there and stammer "But the <insert Holy Book here> said!!!!" Surely such a defense would be... indefensible.
