[size=18pt]THE BIBLE AND THE PROMOTION OF TORTURE[/size]

While Islam prescribes certain punishments for criminals who have executed certain crimes in certain horrific ways to hurt innocent people,the bible on the other hand sees it that sometimes you just need to beat people for their own good!

Proverbs 20:30
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly.


People beaten as as a punishment for their crimes:

"And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten". Deuteronomy 25:2


Beat "fools"! And Beat them whenever you find them:

"A fool's lips enter into contention, and his mouth calleth for strokes". Proverbs 18:6

"Judgments are prepared for scorners, and stripes for the back of fools". Proverbs 19:29

"A whip for the horse, a bridle for the Bottom, and a rod for the fool's back". Proverbs 26:3


Permission to beat slaves, as long they survive for at least a day or two after the beating.

"If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property". Exodus 21:20-21

Showing love to your children through beating them!
"He that spareth his rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes". Proverbs 13:24


And even if they cry,still beat them!

"Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying". Proverbs 19:18


Beating makes children less foolish!!!

"Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him". Proverbs 22:15

"The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame".[/b] Proverbs 29:15 [/b]


Dont worry about beating your children,they will thank you in heaven no matter how hard you do it and injure them!

"Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell". Proverbs 23:13-14


[size=18pt]Jesus seemed to look favorably on torture.In his parables, for example, Jesus often spoke of torturing his enemies. [/size]


"And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors". Matthew 18:34

"And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness, there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth". Matthew 22:12-13

"The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth". Matthew 24:50-51

"The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes". Luke 12:46-48


Jesus himself will torture!

"And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" Matthew 8:29

"Jesus, thou Son of the most high God? I adjure thee by God, that thou torment me not". Mark 5:7

"What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God most high? I beseech thee, torment me not". Luke 8:28


God will use a rod to beat those who disobey his commandments.

"If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes".Psalm 89:31-2


How the bible God will torture people until they would want to die but they would not be allowed to die!

"And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man. And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them". Revelation 9:5-6


Bible God will torture people in a furnace of fire!

"The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth". Matthew 13:41-42

"If thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire". Matthew 18:8-9

"Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels". Matthew 25:41

, "hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched". Mark 9:43-48

"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame". Luke 16:22-24

"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever". Revelation 14:10-11
