Ok well you're just being purposely obtuse if you think being made to drink a prepared water after committing adultery and then proceeding to miscarry doesn't mean you were pregnant.
They're not exactly using contraception.
Regardless of the translation, it's pretty clear these are instructions on how to treat an adulterous woman and cause a miscarriage.
Dude what, no, it's saying hey if you're not preggers you can still make a baby. If you've "defiled [your]self" then you're gonna have an abortion when you drink that water. Very explicitly that's what is being communicated through the text.
Dancing around translations is just some hand waving bullshit, also maybe we should consider the text isn't some infallible word of God when you're saying a different translation changes the meaning of passages. Just as an aside.
I just picked the first translation the Google search gave. Feel free to read your same thing phrased some other way in another translation.
Besides that is the only thing the Bible actually says about abortion. The anti abortion stuff is a very modern thing.
I hear you and out of the two major parties by far it's the Dems trying to get election laws improved. But yeah I know it isn't easy.
Aww cute you think that a 3rd party would ever be viable on a national level at this point.
This is why we need to change our election laws though for real so we can vote for who we want without taking votes from the most likely winner or other acceptable candidate.
I'd rather have a parliamentary system to be honest, the way congress works and electing our reps directly vs voting for parties just lends itself to the two party problem and that's not stopping anytime soon by the looks of it.
That's like me and the machine God. I swear it makes a difference when my hardware is acting up.
Praise the Omnissiah.
I don't think you know the definition of the words "literal" and "communism" if that's what you think.
Yeah, no judgment but it sounds like it definitely comes down to lifestyle choices. For example, renting a place vs living in the camper. Hauling vs delivery and stockpile.
Obviously the choices you make and life you live are your own and valid. Sometimes I wonder how much of a problem and stress on the planet my life in suburbia is. I need to have a car to just survive. It's all my choice and the wife too of course but I do feel like a hypocrite many days of my life.
What do you use it for that a smaller truck, hatchback, mini van or other vehicle would be unable to also get the job done?
Spoiler alert: they're probably not buying mass produced China sets even if they are nice.
Source: me exhausting all avenues of trying to part with vintage China set(s) and replacements.com telling me to politely fuck off.
I don't think you understand the psyche of people voting for him, even if Trump personally came to their house and stomped on their balls they would vote for him.
It won't make any difference to their future votes if they suffer, it'll just be suffering.
I still don't really know a good way to pry people away from his cult of personality or convince them of the truth but suffering for the sake of itself is not good.
Well, you're either actively trolling me or yourself at this point because obviously the absence of that word - while describing one - isn't some gotcha.
Ok, sure it doesn't have that specific word but it sure does have a description of one. Giving you the benefit of the doubt, I understand being wrapped up in biblical text and trying to defend it. Having faith and it being "attacked" can be hard and feels bad. I'm not trying to beat you up but take a step back and look at the whole picture.
