    The bible and slavery - please post direct passages from the bible that you believe support slavery.

    A passage having been used to support slavery is not proof that the passage is really meant to say that. It seems that The Bible keeps pace with the level people are at in their understanding, They deal with slavery over time, Paul says slave traders are the biggest sinners.

    The bible and slavery - please post direct passages from the bible that you believe support slavery.

    This is an example attempting to win an argument by quantity and not quality. You didn't prove anything. Any of these ersatz examples is refutable. Pick the one to three you think are best if you want a response first, if you are serious.

    The bible and slavery - please post direct passages from the bible that you believe support slavery.

    The following was from skepticsannotatedbible.com Bible stories that show God's approval of slavery:After the flood, the "just and righteous" Noah (Genesis 6:9, 7:1) got drunk, and lay around naked in his tent. When his son, Ham, saw his father in this condition, Noah cursed not Ham, but Ham's...

    Instead of preaching, try addressing the actual points made. And hey, I see here you've talked about Hebrew slaves. Why didn't you tell us about the non-Hebrew slaves that were to be taken from surrounding nations, I wonder?

    Hi Kelly of the Phoenix. Good afternoon. I hope you are well. Sorry for the broken post, I must've clicked on the reply button before I finished my post. This whole world is enslaved to sin, yet most people don't have a problem with that. We all serve a master. Whether that's Satan the...

    God is Holy, Man is fallen and needs salvation

    This, again, is an excuse. When you tell slaves to obey their masters and not to seek freedom from slavery, that's endorsement. Christian leaders had no problem telling Christians to do things differently from others when it came to things they truly objected to. Why are you spending so much...

    God is Holy, Man is fallen and needs salvation

    NT was Not endorsing the slave-trade business but the circumstances of that time - Ephesians 6:9; Colossians 4:1 That 'Day' (thousand-year day ) will come. Come because we are in the last days of the last days of badness on Earth 2 Timothy 3 Come because we are at the final international phase...

    What morals and ethics do Christians and other religions follow over time?

    We wish we could say slavery is ended today, in 2020. But it continues around the world - Slavery in the 21st century - Wikipedia "Estimates of the number of slaves today range from around 21 million[1] to 46 million..." What we see in the bible is the work to change us so that we actually...

    Divorce Rates for Conservative Christians Higher than for Atheists

    Good grief, not the old "They ain't no Christian unless they is believin' as I do" canard again. :rolleyes: I presume then that you go along with the ownership of slaves. The New Testament makes no condemnation of slavery and does no more than admonish slaves to be obedient and their...

    Another Business Bites The Dust Because Of Its Christian Anti-Gay Bias

    You left out the one about seeking freedom whenever possible, I wonder why. You must have a point, I just don´t know what it is. Paul was speaking to people who were part of the Roman empire. The laws of Rome were the civil law. Would you have him tell the slaves to not do there jobs and get...

    Another Business Bites The Dust Because Of Its Christian Anti-Gay Bias

    Certainly I did read your list. I am familiar with the bible. Quote - "Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has...

    Another Business Bites The Dust Because Of Its Christian Anti-Gay Bias

    Could have, should have, would have is a far cry from "WAS." Well your statement, "And in the New Testament there is no place for the slave." certainly does. Obviously you didn't bother to read post 374: Colossians 3:22 22 Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only...

    Another Business Bites The Dust Because Of Its Christian Anti-Gay Bias

    But the Bible doesn't treat slavery as an injustice. If it did I seriously doubt god would have set out rules on how to go about it. Please, not with the trite apologetic that the slavery mentioned was somehow "symbolic"; a metaphor. Excuse me, but if you read the New Testament you'd find...

    Various Words Translated Slave And Their Meaning The Hebrew word evedh can mean a person owned by a fellow man (Genesis 12:16 / Exodus 20:17), subjects of a king (2 Samuel 11:21 / 2 Chronicles 10:7), subjugated people who paid tribute (2 Samuel 8:2, 2 Samuel 8:6), and persons in royal service...

    This applies to the ancient Hebrews do these actions themselves. It does not stop others from doing it for them.Leviticus 44 25-26 is rather clear: "44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary...

    So you're saying Jesus doesn't speak for God then, correct? Jesus and God are on different pages with respect to this stuff? Or are you saying that God changed His mind on whether or not these things were right or wrong, depending on the times? Like, slavery was okay back then, but then at some...

    No, he doesn't want Christians to do that. But we were talking about the ancient nation of Israel. The Mosaic Law in the OT applied to them. Here were the rules: "Slavery in Bible History Consider the following regulations included in the Law given through Moses: ● Kidnapping a man and...

    Has Sin Become a Joke?

    But I don't believe they have any such "personal conviction." While they probably know the Bible condemns premarital sex as sinful, they don't care. The Bible's condemnation is inconsequential, just as inconsequential as god's directive on slavery: "Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly...
