    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...

    TX Lt. Gov. Blames El Paso Shooting on Not Letting Kids “Pray in Our Schools”

    Cite it in a post or reference it. This is projection as you are not using any source to back this. Now cite something from Christian abolitionists which you claimed rejected the Bible completely. Not merely your interpretation of something you never cited. Try again.

    TX Lt. Gov. Blames El Paso Shooting on Not Letting Kids “Pray in Our Schools”

    I have. The Bible condones slavery. The side fighting for slavery was the one accurately citing it. What else do you call it when someone says something is a great evil but god says it's ok and permits it? Simply put, they called themselves Christian, but they had a greater sense of morality...

    Does Your Religion Influence Your Work Ethic or How You Do Business?

    Absolutely. Ephesians 6 "5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. 6Try to please them all the time, not just when they are watching you. As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart. 7Work with enthusiasm, as...

    Trump Calls for Ban on All Muslims Entering US

    Despite your attempt to dismiss and/or ignore the ancient slave trade described in the Bible, none of the above applies to non-Jewish slaves. "“‘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 residents...

    Trump Calls for Ban on All Muslims Entering US

    Again, those affirm slavery, not condemn it.

    Trump Calls for Ban on All Muslims Entering US

    Are you kidding me? "Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper's possession." (Exodus 21:16) When the sentence mentions selling the kidnapped person, what do you think it is talking about? This passage is totally about slave...

    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...

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

    Yeah, it is totally okay that the master can take sexualy whatever slave he wants including the daugthers of his slaves. Its not rape when you own the person[/nonsense]

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

    Colossians 4:1 "1Masters, grant to your slaves justice and fairness, knowing that you too have a Master in heaven. " Ephesians 6: 5Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6Obey them not only to win their favor when...

    Self-pity and christianity

    Ok so i was thinking about the different kinds of pride that there is. There is the obvious kind...the kind that boasts. But there is another kind....self-pity. Boasting is how we respond when we imagine ourselves to be successful. Self-pity is how pride responds to suffering. (There is a...
