God seperates "freedom" from "possesion" in His Word, and even advocates slavery,

That is one of the arguments that certain "Christians" used to justify slavery. Are you one of them?

while making "Thou Shalt not steal" one of the Big Ten.

Well then, slavery is a sin because it involves stealing someone else's property rights to their labor.

"That is one of the arguments that certain "Christians" used to justify slavery. Are you one of them? "

I have addressed that MANY times, and I KNEW the ONE time I DIDN'T post "note, I'm not a slavery-loving bigot" You'd jump on it. Read the last few posts to you regarding this subject to answer your half-baked question.

"Well then, slavery is a sin because it involves stealing someone else's property rights to their labor."

Again: why did God make a seperate case for each, if slavery and theft are the same? (Hint, pick up that dusty leather-bound book in the corner holding up your coffee table leg. It'll be in there, under a book* called "Leviticus")

*I know, I know, it's weird, but those "chapter titles" in the Bible are actually full "books"
