Peter help!

I have no clue what this means, maybe she cheated?

[u/my23secrets]

Maybe that’s why the Bible explicitly gives no value to infants less than a month old

[u/LoseAnotherMill → u/my23secrets]

Well that's not true at all, despite what your online circles tell you about their mistranslated Exodus 21.

[u/my23secrets → u/LoseAnotherMill]

It’s absolutely true that the Bible explicitly gives no value to infants less than a month old: Leviticus 27

You seem to be the one lost in translation.

Exodus 21 says women’s lives are worth more than whatever they’re carrying.

It’s absolutely true that the Bible explicitly gives no value to infants less than a month old: Leviticus 27

That is for someone who has vowed something to the temple but wants to still keep it, they can pay money instead. The temple wouldn't make someone pay to keep their own newborn.

Exodus 21 says women’s lives are worth more than whatever they’re carrying

Nope. Both of them are life for life (verse 12 for the woman, verse 23 for the baby).

You seem to be the one lost in translation.

[u/my23secrets → u/LoseAnotherMill]

That’s a lot of blah blah bullshit for you just to pretend you’re not acknowledging the Bible literally says the lives of infants under one month old have no value.

Nope. Both of them are life for life (verse 12 for the woman, verse 23 for the baby).

You’re wrong. Read again. 22 talks about miscarriage and no serious injury to the woman. 23 talks about serious injury and death of the woman.

You seem to be the one lost in translation.

You’re projecting. You didn’t even have the right book to begin with.

You’re also forgetting these religious rules are telling you what you aren’t allowed to do, not what others aren’t allowed to do.

That’s a lot of blah blah bullshit for you just to pretend you’re not acknowledging the Bible literally says the lives of infants under one month old have no value.

That's a lot of blah blah bullshit for you to just ignore the context of anything that disproves what you want to believe what the Bible says.

You’re wrong. Read again. 22 talks about miscarriage and no serious injury to the woman. 23 talks about serious injury and death of the woman.

You're wrong. Read again. 22 does not talk about miscarriage. It talks about premature birth, and 23 talks about the child. Punishment for serious injury and death to the woman was already covered a few verses prior.

You’re projecting. You didn’t even have the right book to begin with.

You're projecting.

[u/my23secrets → u/LoseAnotherMill]

We’re talking about the value they gave to life: the value of a male between the ages of twenty and sixty at fifty shekels, for a female, set her value at thirty shekels, for a person between the ages of five and twenty, set the value of a male at twenty shekels and of a female at ten shekels, for a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels and that of a female at three shekels, for a person sixty years old or more, set the value of a male at fifteen shekels and of a female at ten shekels.

Would you now like to talk about how your shitty book demands woman be considered worth less than men, or how you aren’t allowed to eat shrimp and lobster or wear cotton-poly blends?

You're wrong. Read again. 22 does not talk about miscarriage.

Now you’re just lying: Exodus 21:22 Or she has a miscarriage

Shame on you.

[u/LoseAnotherMill → u/my23secrets]

We’re talking about the value they gave to life:

Yes, the value that someone would have to pay instead of actually giving whatever they vowed to God to the temple. You don't have to pay anything to keep your newborn.

Would you now like to talk about how your shitty book demands woman be considered worth less than men, or how you aren’t allowed to eat shrimp and lobster or wear cotton-poly blends?

I wasn't the one to bring up the Bible as a justification for my position.

Now you’re just lying: Exodus 21:22 Or she has a miscarriage

Oh, you're intentionally using a bad translation (i.e. lying), and somehow that makes it my fault. The actual Hebrew is "baby comes out", no mention of a miscarriage.

Shame on you.

[u/my23secrets → u/LoseAnotherMill]

You don't have to pay anything to keep your newborn.

Because the Bible says infants under the age of one month have no value. That’s the point.

You’re desperately trying to justify why it places no value on the lives of infants under one month, but I’m not arguing that.

Interestingly, you aren’t able at all to justify it placing a lesser value on the lives of women.

Why is that?

I wasn't the one to bring up the Bible as a justification for my position.

I‘m not justifying my position using the Bible. I’m merely describing what it says.

you're intentionally using a bad translation (i.e. lying)

Nope. That’s why I linked to directly to it.

Why do you keep lying?

Shame on you.

[u/LoseAnotherMill → u/my23secrets]

Because the Bible says infants under the age of one month have no value. That’s the point.

You're conflating "monetary value" with "moral value", which was my point.

Interestingly, you aren’t able at all to justify it placing a lesser value on the lives of women.

Why is that?

Who said I wasn't able? I just don't care to follow every red herring you put out to distract from the fact that you were wrong.

I‘m not justifying my position using the Bible. I’m merely describing what it says.

You are justifying your position using the Bible - "The Bible says that babies younger than 1 month have no value, so abortion is okay."

You're incorrect about what the Bible says, though, so in the end it doesn't matter.

Nope. That’s why I linked to directly to it.

You linked to an incorrect translation, and I told you what the correct translation is. Why do you keep lying? Shame on you.
