QUESTION: Do you know the difference between chattel slavery and bond servanthood?

No, I don't. Because when it comes to the morality of it, there isn't any.

Which one was practiced in ancient israel? Also, tell me, when Paul told slaves in the Roman empire to love their masters and masters to love their slaves, what do you think is the end result of that? Instead of Paul demanding that slavery end, he did better! - he demanded in the name of Christ that they love each other. Finally, who was it that ended chattel slavery in the west? Christians! Ever heard of William Wilberforce? How about the Christian abolitionists in the United States? I'm waiting for that verse, and I must caution you about context, as you do not strike me as one who understands the science of biblical hermeneutics.

I'll take this as a clear warning that you intend to kick around squirelly definitions & irrelevant history like a jesuit what the plain language of the bible on this subject comes to light.

One of the lesser uses of logic--lying thought your teeth right in front of the jury. Do you also have a canned lecture for us about what the meaning of "is" is?

Is that a donh moral standard? Actually, since you don't know the difference, then you can't know much about biblical slavery or the biblical reference to it, no offense intended.

Again, since you do not even know the difference between chattel slavery and bond servant slavery, you are hardly in a position to debate this topic. You are running on 95 octane bias.

You opened this can of worms so the burden of proof is on you to demonstrate your assertion from the bible. Don't try to turn this on me - you were the one acting so triumphant in assuming that I was unable to asnwer you, and now I am calling your bluff. Give me the verse from the bible that condones slavery. I hope you don't think I'm rude if I ask you to put the verse where your mouth is.
