Yes it matters! Even more evidence that you are not serious about seeking truth.

I always crack up reading verses like this. Nobody ever has a rebuke that doesn't end up being a deflection.
The one about the slave dying and then recovering has me
. Somebody didn't think that one through.

Yet the chance we both are going to die is 100%. I can say anything but it is up to you to accept it. God will not force you into Heaven against your will.

How's it an excuse?
You can't even take the verses in properly without understanding the context and time period in which they were written. It's like reading any book from another age period. The mindset was very different so you understand the writing is not for you. It's like someone in 2225 picking up a quarter made in 2016 and assuming George Washington was the president in that time. Without the knowledge of the age, you only take a piece of the story and it can lead to misinformation.
The fools who applied this scripture for their time probably used it to justify the slave trade as well knowing the New Testament said otherwise.
In 2016, the verses certainly dont make sense without context. We have never experienced slavery and the like but it was a real issue back then so the author who is claimed as Moses was moved to write about how it should be ordered.

"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive." Titus 2:9-10
According to the good book, they were no fools.

Same rules apply here. Context. Who was the author of Titus speaking to?

Last time I checked Titus was part of the New Testament.

The theme of the New Testament is the savior coming to the world as foreshadowed in the Old Testament, his teachings, and ultimately his death bringing forth salvation for both Jew and Gentile. Slave and non slave.
The other topics broached by the prophets are speaking to the people of that time and should be taken in that context. You have to know the history of these writing to really understand the themes taking place.

wat the heck are you rumbling on about? Didn't you just say earlier that the New Testament never approves of slavery?
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Colossians 3:22
Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 1 Peter 2:18
Well, explain these New Testament passages?
