>>>>>>>Filtering again. What about the "...and know there isn't such a passage..." part? I'm betting there are all sorts of things in there that you don't agree with, but will not bring up here.
>>>>>>
>>>>>>To be clear, I know of no passage that allows a husband to beat his wife once a week.

>>>>>Are you playing with the strictness of what Terry said? The "once a week" part? I bet I can find something that says it's ok for a husband to beat his wife, and nothing to say that the wife can do the same to the husband. Would you consider that a rule to follow?
>>>>
>>>>I don't think you can find a passage that allows for a husband to beat his wife - with no allowance for the wife to do the same to her husband. The only passages I know of would be some of the OT laws that prescribe stoning to death of an adulterous wife - but - I believe the same would be true of an adulterous husband. So, yes - have it it - see what you can come up with.
>>>
>>>Wait, so you think that an adulterous wife should be killed?
>>
>>Under the OT laws - either an adulterous wife or an adulterous husband would have been killed. I believe the OT laws are not binding today - unless they are repeated in the NT.

>But wait a minute. Did Jesus' teachings give you all that stuff about the man being the leader, guiding his wife and all that, or was if from the OT?

NT - mainly Ephesians 5
