You are being obtuse. Colofornian showed you why, where and how slavery was shown in the Bible to be a source of trouble, unhapiness, grief and pain. God is not the author of those things, but sin is. Can’t you put two and two together? Do you suggest that slavery is a “good” thing? We are slaves to only one Master - Christ.
Go your way. I certainly hope you don’t condone slavery or polygamy.
I’m done with you.
You jump right on your high horse and make broad pronouncements that I condone or defend slavery because I correctly state that the Bible does not condemn it.
That is all.
You PC freepers are so eat up with racial sensitivity that it clouds any interpretation you might have of empirical evidence.
If the Bible actually did condemn slavery I would be glad to say so but it does not except by maybe far reaching implication or extrapolation which as I said is remarkable given that slavery was a facet of life in Biblical times. Were they as obsessed with at some FReepers one would think they would have addressed it specifically and substantially as in maybe the 10 Commandments.
Btw...one can take the Golden Rule and use it to imply any action deemed offensive to another human as condemning that practice by implication.
This same sort of argument is now used by Environmentalists to claim being mean to the earth is unChristian too.
