Title: Someone told me that it states it the Bible that it is okay to hit your wife?
Post by: klvcaudillo on March 01, 2010, 02:08:45 pm

I have yet to find this verse!!!!  Why would some one even do that? How much of spousal abuse really exists now-a-days?

I have looked and find anything of the sort in reference to hitting a spouse.  Granted, God can be very destructive with the wiping out of man with the exception of Noah and his family, but I don't see God glorifying spousal abuse for His purposes.

Nowhere in The Bible does it state that it is okay to hit your wife.

God would never tell someone it is ok to abuse your spouse .... it does say that you should love your wife as God loves the church (which is all of the believers).

Ephesians 5:25
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. (NIV)   

and God has told us to LOVE:
 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
 4Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

 8Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

LOL I think the Bible would be submitted as EXHIBIT A, aka the murder weapon.   :crybaby2:

Okay, I do internet Bible Studies and have been through the Bible front to back and it does never say this, this person is putting their words in. Actually it says for the husband to treat the wife with love and respect, Go to 1 Corinthians, John, there are so many definition in the Bible of what a husband and wife shoud be unto each other, not this. no way, never.

No, but the bible does give many reasons for why it's okay to kill your wife. Check out a few of the more crazier strictures in the Old Testament here (http://biblebabble.curbjaw.com/laws.htm). Remember that the bible doesn't make one Christian, but rather conducting yourselves as Jesus would have wanted you to.

The bible was translated and written by wrinkled up old men who felt that they needed to back up their own beliefs of men being superior, women supposed to obey, blah, blah. I've read it a time or two and never seen anything referencing outright hitting of either spouse though.

That sounds contrived !!!

There is only one time it is ok to hit your wife; when she talks!  :BangHead:  :bs:

I don't want to go too deep into this topic but I'll give my two cent's...The bible has been F--kin distorted by man, plan and simple. For example I read that one of the holy men I forget who he was, slept with a prostitute but the bible preaches against prostitution. There's a whole lot of contradictory stories in the bible, not to mention slavery, stoning of the women for cheating and not the man, all kind's of crazy stuff. The bible was used for political reasons and I believe that some of the passages were written in later times. Believe it or not the bible is a conglomeration of myths from around the world and political rhetoric. Now I'm not saying that those myths were just some mumbo jumbo, they were stories to explain the creation of life. I do believe in God, but not the one of the bible.  :peace:

Many people think the Bible is quite anti-feminist, so someone could easily spread a rumor that it says it's ok to hit your wife. But the Bible tells us to love our wives.  It does state that they should be submissive, but that does not by any means say to hit them.

Post by: angel379227 on March 06, 2010, 12:35:45 pm

Yeah, hitting your wife is frowned upon in the bible. Killing her, on the other hand-- well, that just depends on how far she crosses the line.

The only line there is, is the same for all of us, only a supremacist would consider otherwise.

Hitting your wife should not be layed out by the bible but by personal moral values

why would that be in the bible at all? thats violence. us girls dont want to get hit..especially from our husbands no matter what. i know i can be a pain in the :bootyshake: but it doesnt mean i need to be hit. if u hit me i will hit u back and i will conflict more pain on u then u did on me. i get revenge and when adrenaline kicks in i dont stop. i can be very violent. dont mess with this chick. i have a temper. dont touch me unless u want to get hurt, for real.

 I have read the Bible too! I have never seen a passage saying it was okay to strike your wife. Now in alot of marriage vows people do say,cherish and obey but, there are people that have a problem with the obey part. The Lord or GOD disapprove of any violence. If a grown man hits a woman thats an automatic 60 days in jail in alot of states here in the US of A.Plus it shows how much of a coward that man is! (Later) :angel11:

If you do not know the difference in right and wrong..then you really should not have a wife.

I have never heard this, and I find it hard to believe.  It very well could say that but I disagree with it.  If my man hits me, his butt is getting kicked out of this house!

I haven't found this verse nor a reference...it's probably just someone looking for biblical justification.

 ??? no idea what Bible that would be stated in...never heard that one before.  (Are sure they weren't stating to you that it'd be ok to hit your wife with the Bible, because that would actually make more sense.)

It says in the Bible that Husbands are to Love Your Wife as Christ Loved the Church.

Jesus took 39 stripes on his back, was nailed to a cross, shed his blood and died for the Healing and Forgiveness of those who would Believe and therefore establishing The Church.
