What you are doing in this situation is taking it upon yourself to define what is and what is not "abuse."
People who take the Bible at face value know that God, in His Righteous Judgment, drowned every human being on earth except for eight individuals. They understand and accept that all the animals in the world were also drowned other than the designated numbers herded onto the Ark. Would you consider such actions abusive, or would you submit to the authority of The Lord?
Thus, the question must be presented: Do you accept the Bible at face value? If you do, do you feel it is appropriate for you to argue certain points with the church leadership here? If you do NOT accept the Bible at face value, then why are you here?
You written what I'm sure you imagine to be clever posts here and there throughout our forum. However, you have not engaged with any spiritual or intellectual honesty on any of the scriptural issues that we have presented. Being coy may amuse you and may be of some benefit if you wish to pursue a career in phone sex work, but it will not get you very far here at

Edit: I have only just now realized that I have wandered into the Men's Only Sub-forum. I ask forgiveness of my Brothers in Christ. Of course, you will feel free to delete my post or discipline me in any way that The Holy Spirit guides you to do.
