Slavery in those days is not what we think of slavery today. It was Labour to pay back your debts.
very well versed.he don't sound brainwashed to me,more like well versed and well read
the brainwashed are the people who think they possess the answers
ha ha !! you gotta admit tho, i mean i know muslims that go by every word written, yet totally apposite to what they read and sell chicken, cigs, alchol for a living.cuz fuck you is why
what? you've still missed the point of what I've said. i dont believe every word these books say. that would be blind faith. i have taken from them what i thought was good nature and direction. they are fiction books kid. the book contains the character God. so for your puney asshole brain you fit that word into your definition of God and proceed to read "what would god do?" well not always what you want. like your inability to control the manner we answer in this asshole thread. the book introduces another character named jesus. he is essentially never born. so he, in the book, is beyond life and death. the authors made him the son of God.ha ha !! you gotta admit tho, i mean i know muslims that go by every word written, yet totally apposite to what they read and sell chicken, cigs, alchol for a living.
Their god says don't do these things, so brainwashed totes.
my thread was to find the truth about jesus saying he was god and you made it all complicated that's all.
do you believe jesus when he said 'i am god/the lord' etc etc ?what? you've still missed the point of what I've said. i dont believe every word these books say. that would be blind faith. i have taken from them what i thought was good nature and direction. they are fiction books kid. the book contains the character God. so for your puney asshole brain you fit that word into your definition of God and proceed to read "what would god do?" well not always what you want. like your inability to control the manner we answer in this asshole thread. the book introduces another character named jesus. he is essentially never born. so he, in the book, is beyond life and death. the authors made him the son of God.
and there's a story in the book too in case you were wondering...
i posted a separate book because not many Americans consider that their lives are given a world of options to learn by. if you read harry potter, which character is Hermione? ia Hermione the Hagrid? is Hermione a broom stick?
is Jesus the son if god?
is god god?
these are the most obvious answers that 1000000/1 people fail to see.
you're not going to meet Jesus your going to look in the mirror and see yourself grow a beard until you wither and die or be killed off before hand.
yes duh. the authors wrote it that way. i wouldnt look at a blue wall and call it spaghettido you believe jesus when he said 'i am god/the lord' etc etc ?
a simple yes/no answer pls (i bet my whole life you can't)
it's the authors brotheryes duh. the authors wrote it that way. i wouldnt look at a blue wall and call it spaghetti
I'm talking about Yahweh's rules. You can take a fellow Jew as a servent to payback debt over a period of seven years, and be not harsh to them. People of another nation are slaves forever, and your children can inherit them.Slavery in those days is not what we think of slavery today. It was Labour to pay back your debts.
If you could not pay your debt then you had to work to pay back the debtor in some way. So people regardless of race would sell them self to the master as a slave to pay him back for the debt.
Fair enough really, without that system we have the likes of dole scum kicking about just taking taking taking. It also teaches the person to not borrow what they cannot pay back.
The slavery that we think of where maybe a specific race or group are being targeted and those within that race are being kidnapped etc was infact outlawed.
"And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death." Exodus 21-16
Ah but this was way before Christ. Around 1440 years before....I'm talking about Yahweh's rules. You can take a fellow Jew as a servent to payback debt over a period of seven years, and be not harsh to them. People of another nation are slaves forever, and your children can inherit them.
Leviticus 25:39-46Revised Standard Version (RSV)
"39 “And if your brother becomes poor beside you, and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave: 40 he shall be with you as a hired servant and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee; 41 then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his own family, and return to the possession of his fathers. 42 For they are my servants, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. 43 You shall not rule over him with harshness, but shall fear your God. 44 As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you. 45 You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property. 46 You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession for ever; you may make slaves of them, but over your brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness."
This, and other verses was used as justifiable slavery by southern slave owners.
Can you name a book that is not "man made"??you cannot use bible quotes to increase your critical thinking. if you think the adam/eve, genesis, noahs ark stories are true at face value, you are truly dense. you want to debate on a subject, but only if someone uses direct quotes from a man made book that defines the slant of the subject. Not exactly expanding your mind.
Remember: Book of Mormon.Can you name a book that is not "man made"??
it was in reference to the bible not being written by god and therefore can be wrong. It would be like saying I want to debate you on man made global warming, but both sides can only use David Suzuki quotes.Can you name a book that is not "man made"??
