[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 64518127, member: 342064"] [URL]http://www.truefreethinker.com/articles/does-god-command-you-beat-your-slaves[/URL] This reference should help you to understand the context in which these verses mean. As it says the "if " in the verses has significance. It is talking about possible situations within a whole legal system and how they should be dealt with. One of the points mentions that within the same section where it talks about beating a slave it says even if you damage the slaves eye or tooth then you will set him free for the sake of that eye or tooth. So this contradicts the other verse about beating a slave. Why would you condone beating when at the same time it says if you damage their tooth just one part of their body then the slave is free. The actual meaning of slave is not how we would imagine but more a bonds man or bonds maiden or servant. [/QUOTE]
