CousinTed: Yeah, strangely enough the seizing of another man's genitals was considered to be a conciliatory gesture in biblical times. Go figure. It was, however, only done by another man. So, basically the Bible says that if a woman loves her husband enough to stick her neck out for him when he's getting his ass kicked, then she should be severely maimed in the name of justice. That's just sick, and it's hardly the worst bit of violence from the Bible (the Old Testament specifically). Why do fundies always quote Old Testament crap anyway? Jesus was supposed to fix all those stupid laws as the 'new covenant' with the lord, right? So, is God love, or is he vengence? Do you follow the teachings of Jesus or the God of Moses? Make up your damn minds, fundies!
One, according to many creationist and to Archbishop of Canterbury in 1560 God created the world in 4000BC, the Earth is flat AND ONLY THE CATHOLIC KINGS, REMEMBER, TRUSTED COLUMBUS(everybody believed that at the time), and many fundies claim "spare the rod spoil the child". If you're misinformed, it's your business.
Beat kids? No, it doesn't say that in the Bible.
It says to KILL them, if they ever so much as speak up or curse their parents. KILL. You know, with DEATH AND DYING.
I'm sorry, but the 4004BC date for the creation of the world was calculated by the Protastant (Church of England) Bishop of Usher.
And doesn't the Bible say that the punishment for children disrespecting thier parents is death?
That the earth is 4000 years old is spread in the Christian circles since the middle ages based in the "chronology" offered by the Bible. Second, that the Bible, at least the OT says that the Earth is flat is a fact, ok?. That Christians may or not believe it is another issue altogether. And concerning beating kids..........please, read proverbs.
This girl was 15 when she posted that. I hope she has educated herself in the 5 years since then.
Edit: I was just reading more of the thread. A 17 year old said he runs a ministry and asked her to stop because she was "taking on more than she can handle," but she said she wasn't going to stop and Jesus had her back. The poor girl even kept touting how smart she thought she was. I repeat, I really hope she has educated herself since then.
1: You fundies say Earth is either 4000/6000/10,000 years old.
2: There are still flat earther Christian Fundies, not Catholics, as they actually do admit the planet is round.
3: Here you go: Chapters and verses:
God's enthusiastic endorsement of child abuse.
Proverbs 23:13-14
Do not withhold discipline from a child. If you beat him with a rod, he will not die. If you beat him with the rod, you will save his life from Sheol.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21
If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who will not obey the voice of his father; or the voice of his mother, and, though they chastise him, will not give heed to them, then his father and his mother shall take hold of him and bring him out to the elders of his city at the gate of the place where he lives, and they shall say to the elders of his city, "This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton and a drunkard." Then all the men of the city shall stone him to death with stones; so you shall purge the evil from your midst; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Confused?
