    Biblical Mary!

    Sorry, but I beg to differ. Slaves who were literate scribes were few and far between. Vast numbers of slaves worked on the latifundia -farms - of the elite. Many worked in chains. Some latifundia had as many as 4,000 slaves. They worked until they died of exhaustion, almost never of old...

    Biblical Mary!

    Slaves had different status in NT days. They were not compensated with money but some held very responsible positions, e.g, scribes. Paul referred to himself as a slave, e.g., Romans 1:1, NET: "From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God."...

    Can God be moral?

    Think I completely missed your point on this one, tried reading it several times. So correct me if I misunderstood you. But to me it seems like you are arguing that being a slave is only a temporary position and that eventually they will be free? But I don't really see how that relate to the...

    Can God be moral?

    Good question, and one that often comes up. Most people haven't read very fully in the new testament, and so aren't able to completely understand the instruction given about remaining slaves (that it is temporary). Even the full passage quotes (below) are not yet enough to show that: 5...

    Absolutely. Ephesians 6 "5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear.

    Christians who reject the old testament and slavery

    You haven't answered my question. If slavery is wrong, why does the Bible not explicitly condemn it, and why does it repeatedly endorse it? And I am specifically referring to one human being owning another human being as property which is something the Bible explicitly addresses and lays out...

    The Atonement Doctrine (Did Jesus Die For Our Sins?)

    You may consider my view of the Messiah heretic but because I am using of spiritual Logic to say that, individually, Jesus could not have been the Messiah. If you read Prophet Habakkuk 313, "The Lord goes forth to save His PEOPLE; to save His Anointed One." That's what Messiah is, the Anointed...

    Is inter-racial marriage really relevant to the same-sex marriage debate?

    Yes, the Bible has something for everyone. Along with the passages above are the ones in the OT that explicitly condone sexual slavery, beating your slaves, and other atrocities. But regardless, I noticed that you ignored the last part of my last post: owning another person as property is...
