Forewarned and forewarned (10th plague) so, they could have reasoned on the previous 9 plagues to stop.How about all the firstborn of egypt
Parents are responsible for minor children - 1 Corinthians 7:14 B.Ohyeah? Well, whabout all the babies who
got flooded.
That's great and as for whether our fellow rf goers agree, I believe everyone has the light of Christ to know wrong from right no matter what state of religion they claim to be in.God’s Character :“For I proclaim the name of the Lord: Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.”
Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NKJV
Man’s state apart from God before being made alive: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”
Ephesians 2:1-3 NKJV
God’s work for Mankind:
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:4-10 NKJV
This discussion is based on the Biblical view of God and Man according to Scripture and the meaning of the verses in context, Greek and Hebrew meanings for these words for the purpose of finding out what the writer, author means by what they recorded in the Scripture or Bible. By Bible the 66 Books of the Bible.
The ' slavery ' of Bible times was Not like the slave-trade business of the Southern USA South.
Debt was not the only reason people owned slaves in ancient Israel. Some people were enslaved as the result of war, for example. Or as a result of simply being unlucky enough to have slave parents.There were No debters prisons back then so a Hebrew could 'pay off' his debt by slaving for another.
Salving as a hired hand. If abused by his master, then the slave was set free.
Whether being a Hebrew or a non-Hebrew No slave was to be mistreated.
That sounds nice but the documents don't bear it out. A little sample:God’s Character :“For I proclaim the name of the Lord: Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.”
Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NKJV

That sounds nice but the documents don't bear it out. A little sample:
Deuteronomy 7:1-2 “When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations [...] then you must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them and show them no mercy." (repeated at 20:16)
Numbers 31:17-18 God orders massacres and mass rape.
Joshua 1 – God orders the invasion of Canaan so his people can seize the territory.
Joshua 6:17, 6:21 – God orders, and Joshua performs, the massacre of the population of Jericho.
Judges 11 – God makes a deal with Jephthah, military victory in exchange for the human sacrifice of Jephthah’s daughter. This is done, and Jephthah is elevated to Judge (ruler) of Israel.And of course the NT is about God's refusal to forgive humans their sins until [his] son is made a human sacrifice to [him] ─ a project I find utterly incomprehensible.
2 Samuel 21 – God refuses to call off the famine until seven blameless sons of Saul have been killed by impalement "before the Lord" to expiate Saul’s bloodguilt.
Hosea 13:16 – God condones the ripping open of pregnant women as part of massacring one’s enemies.
So if you're setting out to be moral and just then whatever you do, don't take God as your example.
Howabout all the firstborn of egypt
But I'll bet that Christians don't obey a fraction of those perfect laws in Deuteronomy. Not even a tenth of them. Is that correct?God’s Character :“For I proclaim the name of the Lord: Ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He.”
Deuteronomy 32:3-4 NKJV
So nothing has changed...?Man’s state apart from God before being made alive: “And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.”
Ephesians 2:1-3 NKJV
Paul's promises, and veiled threats for those who would stay outside of his churches. Correct?God’s work for Mankind:
“But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.”
Ephesians 2:4-10 NKJV
Catholics do believe the Bible. Your question ought to be why did the Protestants take thise books out.Since the apocryphal books do Not match the '66' harmonious Bible books why bother with them __________
Bible believers believe that it was Not Eve, but rather fallen-father Adam (he ate second) who brought sin to us.
We can read about this in Romans chapter 5. Eve was deceived but Adam was Not deceived - 1 Timothy 2:14.
Seems to me a Catholic would have to choose one or the other because both can't be believed. Sirach 25:23
Perhaps a Catholic could explain why they would accept blaming Eve instead of Adam.
You can use other books but for this discussion I was clarifying what my reference is.Catholics do believe the Bible. Your question ought to be why did the Protestants take thise books out.
You’d have to clarify what you mean by that because it’s not a simple yes or no answer.Do you believe it is just/moral for someone to own another person as property?
You’d have to clarify what you mean by that because it’s not a simple yes or no answer.
For example: I have children and employees, they are under my authority and my responsibility. I expect them to do what I ask whether they want to or not. It’s unfortunate I would have to even clarify this but when I say do what I ask, I’m assuming everyone understands what is mean by that as a loving, responsible parent or good employer who looks out for the welfare of both.
Not sure you mean thenNeither children nor employees are your property.
So again - is it moral for someone to own another human being as property?
Parents are responsible for minor children - 1 Corinthians 7:14 B.
No parent bothered to place any minor children on the Ark.
Not sure what you mean then
Forewarned and forewarned (10th plague) so, they could have reasoned on the previous 9 plagues to stop.
Is it ok for a person to buy/pay money for a baby or child by adoption and whoever I pay to receive that money?Fascinating.
A conversation about slavery is going to be difficult for you, then.
