Does The Bible Condemn Pedophilia?

Video from Skeptic Bible Study on whether pedophilia is condemned in the Bible:



It is interesting that there is no clear law against having sex with children especially in Leviticus 20. It condemns sexual relations with close realtives very specifically. There was no priority by Biblical writers to condemn pedophilia.

Poor Storytelling

I may have not read the Bible from cover to cover, I tried but it soon became boring and not interesting, but I find the Bible to be very poorly written.

It is well known that the Gospels do not speak of Jesus when he is in his twenties. Also, there is no reference to what the many characters in the first part of Genesis did. There are no stories about Seth, Enosh, Methuselah, Shem, etc. There is the Tower of Babel story which seems out of place since it does not deal with any of the characters in Genesis. Also, there are two versions of the Creation and of Noah's ark. There is at least two versions of the Ten Commandments.

The end of 2 Chronicles stops in mid-sentence and the last two verses are the same two verses at the beginning of Ezra. The rooster crows at a different number of times in the gospels.
