Biblically indentured servants were Hebrews indentured to Hebrews. Foreigners were slaves to be owned, bought and sold. The ability to be bought and sold may also be applied to Hebrew female slaves.
The protection against permanent enslavement also did not apply to foreigners (Lev. 25:44-46)...
That is not being an indentured slave. An indentured slave has its life controlled by its master far more than a bank controls a person with a car loan.
Do you oppose the idea of loans/ They are actually a great good for society.
One making a contract, putting them as an indentured slave, with regard for them working and paying off their car loan was made by persons expecting the contract to benefit both parties. Sometimes it works out, and sometimes it doesn't. Obama being brought to the racist U.S. and suffering the...
Sadly, Israel is mostly a secular state. Here are a few passages from the Old Testament that talk about how Israel should treat aliens living in Israel.
Leviticus 19
33 " 'When an alien lives with you in your land, do not mistreat him. 34 The alien living with you must be treated as one of...
1. We have writings going back far before the 1700's on natural rights. Marcus Tullius Cicero leaps to mind. Also the Saxon's legal code provided a lot of protection for the poor. There is a long history of the powerful abusing those not in power. It is one of the greatest shames in all of...
Agreed. That is why I said, or I think I said, it would depend on the situation. So I affirmed your point but not 100% since it would depend on the circumstance.
Again, I don't disagree but disagree.
We are not to judge the heart (as you said). But we are suppose to judge the actions. If...
I see, the issue here is contradictions in the bible, there are verses that support your claims and there are verses that support mine, but contradictions are not the answer, contradictory verses are to be solved with verses that unravel or explain contradictions, which would take time, ex...
Do you have any evidence that adulteresses never become pregnant, given that Numbers 5:20-28 obviously commands the termination of pregnancies of adulteresses using a "bitter water" abortifacient?
If you believe otherwise, then why couldn't the god have a face to face discussion with the priest...
No, but it is the language of the ones who interpreted it into English.....they should know how to interpret their own language.....right?
The test was for adultery not pregnancy...that was the point of the scripture. If the woman was pregnant then perhaps the penalty did include a termination...
'False testimony' might be what he refers to which is in the commands listed in Exodus 20. Perhaps he is pointing out dishonest dealings, dishonest scales and other forms of false witness?
I think he's talking about accepting the Romans. Poverty is not a curse according to Jesus. Its not...
Matt. 5:20, emphasis on having better consciousness than required by law. Listed commandment directly reflects one 's attitude toward others. while, for example , keep Sabbath requires paying respect to God as authority behind the commandment , otherwise people would just ignore the commandments.
Why not what what appears to be the simplest explanation: that the author of Mark didn't know Hebrew or Judaism well enough to realize that they were changing the meaning?
"You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder; You shall not commit adultery; You shall not steal; You shall not bear false witness; You shall not defraud; Honor your father and mother." (Mark 10:19)
Scholars have long puzzled over the reasons for Jesus's adumbrated list of the ten...
Exodus 22:21 “You shall not wrong or oppress a resident alien; for you were aliens in the land of Egypt.”
Deuteronomy 24:14-15 You shall not oppress a hired worker who is poor and needy, whether he is one of your brothers or a foreigner residing in your cities. You will pay his wages on that...
Those aren't verses concerning invasion. Which is what is happening when mass groups of illegal aliens storm a border.
There's a difference between lawful immigration and illegal alien entry.
Then I will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not...
