I started a reply, but erased it in order to make sure we are speaking of the same verses. To which are you referring specifically?

Thanks.

BTW - have you noticed that no one is screaming obscenities at you at CA?

Would you prefer we ignored you?  Because that's the response I'm getting there.   Not that I mean I think I'm on ignore lists but simply that the people who've responded are atheists not catholics.

Also I haven't started any threads advocating atheism.

A link to that scripture has been in this thread for the better part of a day now: page 216, directly after you initially claimed that I'd never posted a scripture that I felt supported that claim.

Look, you have an opportunity to prove me wrong here, why are you so reluctant to do so?

You made the statement..

You CLEARLY claim there is a passage in the bible that states a "slave" CAN be beaten. Supply the scripture, or admit you were being dishonest, I don't know how to put it any other way.

Your "interpretations" are irrelevant seeing how you like to interpret situations however you see fit.

That's good. Here's another:

Jimmy got you bang on.

Oh please, here you go again.

Determining whether or not the bible states that "slaves" can be beaten falls withing the topic of this thread. Not to mention slavery was brought up on page 4, long before I was part of this thread.

Didn't he already post it and tell you exactly where it was?

Here, I'll give it to you.

Exodus 21

20- Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21- but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

You don't scream obscenities at me, Jenny.

You're proof that it IS possible to behave in a mature manner even in an atheist forum.

I already know what Huggy's going to do.  He's going to find a translation that uses a different word: "servant," maybe, or "bondmen," and insist that these aren't slaves-- cuz, you know, a purchased "servant" who has to work for free is totally not a slave. Am I wrong, Huggy?

I'm betting he'll pretend he didn't see it and continue to demand Esquilax provide it to him.

Look, I asked a very simple question.

Esquilax made the statement that there is a passage that states a slave "can be beaten" .

(March 4, 2014 at 9:04 am)Esquilax Wrote: And I still have the passage that says they can be beaten, you unbelievable moron.

*emphasis mine*
The scripture you posted does not state that slaves "can be beaten" only what happens if they are beaten...

Try again.

Seems you we're wrong.
