So in the bible its ok to have n beat slaves huh

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

That was one of my issues before I chunked the dueces to the whole concept....but yeah if you're a believer it should be all or nothing and I've never met one person who's all in even tho they claim to be

As I stated before, Jesus, himself, didn't follow the text 'to the letter'.

That's how the Pharisees tried to trap him and they failed.

Anyone trying to follow the text that way is actually damned by it and will fail.​

 

[Dafunkdoc_Unlimited]

Not much. You know like how a human life of suffering ain't much either.

It really isn't.​

fukk God

How would you 'fukk' something that is non-material? What kinda lube you need for that? Do you even need lube?

[Luke Cage]

The slavery talked about in the Bible is not the same type of slavery that are ancestors went through. Exodus 21:16, kidnapping a man and selling him was actually punishable by death.

Often slaves were poor people who had to sell themselves just to survive. Or in some cases ones found guilty of stealing who were not able to pay it all back could be sold as slaves to pay off the debt.

And I think y’all are interpreting Exodus 21 wrong too. A slave that was beat to death was actually to be avenged. If the slave was maimed, loosing a tooth or eye, he was set free. The Bible does not condone excessive abuse of people.

Slavery often was a choice back then under gods law. So if that’s what they decided to do, that’s there choice

That's the point: 'Slavery' back then had an entirely different context than 'right now', or even 500-600 years ago.

Didn't even mean the same thing. For most people, back then, slavery was a step up the social ladder and gave them safety. We're talking back to the Iron Age, breh. Like Conan the Barbarian-type stuff going on. Cats would LITERALLY be food if they weren't a part of some other person's household/city/Nation and THAT'S what 'slavery' provided among other 'benefits'.....like survival from starvation.

Equating the two is a disingenuous argument and only entertained by those with no idea of the socio-cultural milieu of the ANE.

The text NEVER states that 'slavery is good'. It just reports it's existence in myriad forms.​

Nah. Zeus never created anything and he was a serial rapist that was into bestiality.

I get reassurance from dealing with people and studying things in-general, not from texts.

There's a bunch of other texts mentioned in the OT and NT that would be cool to find.​

Everyone is different I got my reassurance from actual visions and dreams

You might wanna read 'The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave'.......

Meh.....I don't put much stock in those. Too subject to 'interpretation' which is subjective. Rather read about the experiences of those who came before me and see if there's any insight I can gain from them that I can apply today and in the future.​
