Please show me a verse in the Bible that says it's OK to beat your wife.

Quran

Quran (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great." Contemporary translations sometimes water down the word 'beat', but it is the same one used in verse 8:12and clearly means 'to strike'.

Quran (38:44) - "And take in your hand a green branch and beat her with it, and do not break your oath..." Allah telling Job to beat his wife (Tafsir).

verses i was referring to, in all it's brilliant flavors numbers 31:18:

But all the women children, who have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
But all the women-children, that have not known man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
But all the young girls who have not known a man intimately, keep alive for yourselves [to marry].
But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
But all the young girls who have not known a man intimately by sleeping with him, spare for yourselves.
But the young girls who have never slept with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
But do not kill the young women who have never had sex. You may keep them for yourselves.”
but all the children among the women that have not known lying with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
But the girls, and all the women that are virgins save for yourselves:
You can let all the young girls live—but only if they never had sexual relations with any man.
But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
But all the young girls who have not known man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
But save for yourselves the girls who have not ·had sexual relations with a man [L known a man by going to bed with him].
But all the women-children that have not known carnal copulation, keep alive for yourselves.
But save for yourselves every girl who has never gone to bed with a man.
but keep alive for yourselves all the girls and all the women who are virgins.
but keep alive for yourselves all the young females who have not had sexual relations.
But save the girls for yourselves who are virgins.
You are to allow the young women who haven’t yet had sexual relations with a man to live for yourselves.”
But all the female children that have not known a man by lying with him keep alive for yourselves.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.
But all the females who have not had sexual intercourse with a man, keep alive for yourselves.
Only the little girls may live; you may keep them for yourselves.

please show me, where in the bible, that women are treated as something other than property. because, you do realize, that's all women were then - property, a walking glory hole. excuse me, dowry.

Hmm Interesting. Is this old Test or new ?

You see the old doesn't apply anymore.

oh you're so brand new.

i was raised on the old testament, pretty sure that ####### is still taught in sunday school. pretty sure the bible still contains the old testament.

here's more for you (oooo, is that an ephesians verse i see? a peter verse. well poo, those are both new testament!) i would like to challenge you to a bible drill duel. i will crush you :

On Slavery & Subjugation of Women

Ephesians 5:22-24 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Exodus 21:20-21 If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. 1 Peter 2:13 Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men. 2:18 Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh.

Leviticus 25:44-45

Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property.

precisely.

"About eight-in-ten Muslims in Egypt and Pakistan (82% each) endorse the stoning of people who commit adultery; 70% of Muslims in Jordan and 56% of Nigerian Muslims share this view. Muslims in Pakistan and Egypt are also the most supportive of whippings and cutting off of hands for crimes like theft and robbery; 82% in Pakistan and 77% in Egypt favor making this type of punishment the law in their countries, as do 65% of Muslims in Nigeria and 58% in Jordan."

Perhaps it is the percentage sign that is causing the confusion? They are pretty small numbers if you remove them.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Good thing I don't follow any cults. Even if I married into one I wouldn't join in the sick beliefs. Some join or convert and then try to defend or deny the hate and bigotry.

i think, in this country, there are plenty of liberal christians who are quite used to accepting the violent and ignorant past of humanity as displayed in the bible so it's sort of easy to do the same for other religion's holy books. they know they're not going to assume they can take virgins as sex slaves after slaughtering their enemies because it's clearly permissible in the old testament. some how they can dismiss the antiquated as just 'how things used to be' and move forward under the guidance of the 'living god' as displayed in the new testament - using the bible as a tool but more so their own spirituality and personal relationship with god. --these types of christians (the thinking semi-rational kind) completely get how those who practice islam in this country aren't bound to the violent and ignorant verses in the koran anymore than they are bound to the old testament. see how that works?

Of course these stellar statistics quoted cover precisely four countries, and fail mightily at providing the 'proof' Islam is uniform and monolithic. The differences between the various countries alone point to cultural and regional norms much more than at Islam itself.

Every religion believes itself to be the one true religion and the belief system that everyone else needs to learn about and convert to.

What the anti-Semites here fail to appreciate is that jews are not regularly enslaving, murdering, maiming, and bombing and saying God told them to. Blame the Jews is so last century.

Tired old strategy and noteven relevant. Go fish;)

do jews even regard the bible, or even just the old testament, as holy text?
