re: #38 Nyet

Then again, there same passage says to submit to one another. Also nowhere does it say that a husband can make the wife submit.

Well…

So, in the end, if a woman who is wrecking her house gets spanked black and blue, it is not possible for anyone to say that the Bible expressly forbids it. Nor is
it possible to say that the Bible does not suggest the possibility of lumps and bruises is preferable to divorce since “they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder (Matthew 19:6 [the “one flesh” reference appears several times, including Genesis 2:24]).”
