The Byzantine empire was black?
Yes bro. All of Europe was predominantly ruled over by blacks up until about the 1700s.

Not understanding something doesn't automatically make it untrue.So the Bible clearly isn’t true.
The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. “But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)You goofy's love to take one verse and then try to apply it to the entire Bible as if its sole purpose is to be a guidebook to subjugate blacks. Next time try reading the entire thing in it's proper context.
And another thing, a lot of y'all might not like this but, since the dawn of man there's always been servants, bondsman, etc whatever you want to call them.
Whites were once slaves to blacks in the middle ages. The term slave literally comes from the word slav which was applied to white servants under the Byzantine empire's (who were black) rule.
The term was literally created to apply to them. But so many y'all are caught up in narrative that you automatically and subconsciously correlate white with mastery and black with slavery.

Nah I disagreeIt is..
We're just vessels breh.. Executing commands from a brain thats omnipresent.. The information we receive dictates our reality..
When you fully understand it and the various contexts, yes.
The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. “But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
Lol I grew up Christian where we are taught o naw it’s not talking about chattel slavery, that’s different. I grew up Christian and know the Bible probably better than you. My grandfather was a pastor. I have many many many more verses I can quote you on rape, slavery, murder, genocide... whatever you wamt
chattel slavery - Chattel slavery means that one person has total ownership of another. There are two basic forms of chattel, domestic chattel, with menial household duties and productive chattel, working in the fields or mines.
Nah I disagree
but I’m too tired right now to debate online
Create child molestors and murderers and and be disappointed they became what you already knew they would become before creating them because you are omnipotent because you are God. Allow children to be born with disabilities even tho they parents have nothing to do with it and are good people... and say it’s all part of the bigger plan for them to go through life and suffer. Why put them there? Create tornadoes and hurricanes to ravage the earth and its part of gods plan, because humans can’t create those things. Say the only way to me is through Jesus Christ, but allow other religions to precede and co-exist with Christianity , allowing more and more children to grow up under the banner of other religions. Be God whom can at a snap of the fingers make something cease to exist or show yourself or change a mind without it and have to create a human to deliver a message whom was born from a virgin
And the Jesus character to have the same exact or similar stories to ancient civilizations in Africa and European Gods that precede him by thousands of yearsCreate a competition amongst humans to enter to a good or bad place after death, when you could have simply made humans woth good hearts instead of playing fukking games and torturing people, sponsoring murder, slavery, rape, and colonialism and blessing them for banging babies heads against rocks. But God isn’t the author of confusion.

is Moses God?The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. “But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

I know is the difference between servants and chattel slaves. Don’t insult my intelligence lol

13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.
14 And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

Talking serpents, global flood, and 6000 year old earth???When you fully understand it and the various contexts, yes.
And “believing” in something doesn’t make it true.Not understanding something doesn't automatically make it untrue.
the serpent is subtleStop talking in circles friend.
Who has the final say on whose interpretation is right. Ask 10 diff pastors about the same verse you could get 8 diff amswers. Who decides who is right

Case closed i guesssounds reasonable![]()

I don't disagreeAnd “believing” in something doesn’t make it true.
