Is it Biblically permissive to beat one's wife?

@Hungry speaks some truth. He's got my respect. I'm standing with him on this. Everyone else is reading their Bible from the context of our post-modern hyper-feminized society. Feminism will end.

Sean Connery says it pretty well....

Welcome to the thumbs down club!

This example just shows that there is not much of a difference between a woman/wife and a slave (many women may agree). Thankfully Jesus clarified treatment of women/wives in the NT.

This is sad guys.

I'm not a feminist in the least. I do believe that the man is the head and a woman should submit to their husband, but physical abuse is uncalled for and not scriptural.

God has made the roles clear. If anyone husband or wife violates them then it will be God who judges.


How do you guys take this verse:

Hebrews 13

17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

Does this mean that if you don't submit to your pastor, then he has the right to smack you guys around or paddle you in church?

...or her for that matter.

This just shows that Sean Connery has very likely hit/slapped around his wives and girlfriends. Nice legacy.

Nah, a slap is hurting nothing more than your pride. Hungry doesn't condone abuse and neither do I.

So would it be alright with you, if your pastor slapped you around a little, if you wasn't submitting to him and his teachings?

There are several reasons why I love you as a brother, this is one of 'em.

Some women, some. Hubby and I were discussing this in a joking manner one day. I said I never got the spanking fetish, can't understand it. But, I said " I was spanked as a kid, so that may be the reason". lol



I grant you I was shocked when so many women on my FB feed were talking about Mr. Grey. I assumed it was something like Pride and Prejudice, I was soooo wrong. Hubby and I discussed this too. Mr. Grey was supposed to be a very rich man. Hubby said no woman would have put up with his "antics" if he was a regular Joe.


Sure would love to see where you did your research. What do you mean by "get out of line"? If you're talking about role play that's one thing...




So when Mr. Kayla "gets out of line" can I give him a sexy smack up the head with the rolling pin? [/QUOTE]

right. oo7...the biggest fornicator in movies, is the example for all Christian men

and they wonder why there is such a high divorce rate in so called Christian marriages

I was never hit growing up and any man trying to hit me now will spend the night in jail...slap or hit

no woman has to tolerate that kind of thing, Christian or not

I can't believe this thread. it is a disgusting perversion of what God created. weak men need to hit women. silly little men need to slap them

and those men need to learn the consequences of a woman placing a 911 call

I know he says he is not, but he is getting a visceral kick out of this and on any other Christian site, this thread would go the way of dodos

if someone enjoys being abused, they obviously need help. it is not natural.

women abused at the hands of a weak male who has to hit to get his way will end

We've gone through this before, you're talking about Darwinism. The Bible doesn't teach that. My husband brought me flowers when we were first dating. I thought that was the sweetest thing, one of many that he did and still does. Women who fall for jerks have somewhere been badly abused in their lives.

right. my dad was so kind. never raised his hand to his wife...his wife actually threw things at him and he never retaliated or did anything physical...he had alot of self control cause my mother was no easy person.

and then we have these thugs come on here and tell us it is ok to hit your wife if she refuses to BE CONTROLLED by you cause that is the actual complaint here

as a woman, I am sure I do not have to tell you that a man who is kind and respecting will ALWAYS have the support of his wife...unless she is a shrew or something.

these men who want to hit are small little tyrants and they need to be beat up by someone who is to them as they are to women and saying some women enjoy it is disgusting. that woman, needs help. that is not a normal desire

of course not. it just turns you on is all

you are not fooling anyone. you and hungry are the type of men that women rebel against. I like men. I am married to one.

I don't consider what you and your compatriot enjoy as the behavior of a man...more like sad little boys giggling over a naked woman in some magazine and fantasizing about what you would really like to do

say what you want. you have already shown who you are

Nothing is sexier than a woman who knows how to use a rolling pin? What ever happened to the June Cleavers out there? Every episode of Leave it to Beaver she was in the kitchen. I’m not sure most people even own a rolling pin anymore. Maybe the dudes threw them out to avoid the bruises.

When 50 shades came out, and everyone was talking about it. There was a radio DJ whose mom didn’t order stuff on line so thinking it was just some book he ordered it for her. Anyways, the callers all reported about how this book was causing their wives to go crazy sexual. Dudes who were sexually starved, all of a sudden couldn’t get a break. This is what spurred my investigation. There’s many more groups than you would believe who practice this regularly. It’s not a sexual thing. They just feel it improves their relationship, clearly defines their roles and causes the wife to be receptive sexually. The more I researched biological reasons, it points to basic instinct. Like most mammals a show of dominance in males causes these natural reactions in females.

What bible verse says that a man should slap his wife? Just curious
