I've seen the argument that the passage only refers to inadvertence, or accident, but somehow I don't see those words or any words setting forth that requirement - where do you see that?

As far as what you are 'positive' of, you know nothing of me, my faith or my morals, and your pretension to know them shows you for what you are.

Indeed?

You don't suppose I can make certain deductions based on statements like:

I've seen the argument that the passage only refers to inadvertence, or accident, but somehow I don't see those words or any words setting forth that requirement...

when made about a passage of Scripture that clearly says

If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her... ?

Pick your translation. There is apparently no ambiguity to the various translators.

No, I dare say your inscrutability is more conceit than substance. And your confident declaration of my "pretention to know" is little more than a philosophical child hiding behind his own hands.
