LMAO Texas bible thumpers

We're talking about the bible, not about the laws of the time.

Hmmm...

I never knew a practicing Christian that took the "Laws of Moses" to heart. Only the 10 commandment.

Do you?

I know a christian that expects god to fix the economy for him if he prays real hard. That's not really part of the 10 commandments either.

[Wild Cobra]

Why? Did God all of a sudden change his opinion on those thing?

I already explained that Jehovah did not micromanage the affairs of man.

Now keep in mind, I am a Theist, but not a Monotheist.

[ChumpDumper]

There was a time he would do stuff like send bears to kill kids who made fun of a dude's bald head.

Why did he stop doing that?

[Slomo]

So the Bible is the absolute word of God, except when it isn't.

Hey don't knock it. The Vatican has been built on that exact premise.

[Wild Cobra]

Hey don't knock it. The Vatican has been built on that exact premise.

If you ask for my opinion, I say the Vatican is another example of the stated Antichrist. If not that, at least "False Prophet."

What? What does that have to do with what's in the Bible? God was okay with beating slaves at one point. Did he change his mind since then?

The accepted laws and the spiritual rewards were two different things now, were they not?

I agree. He's a fool.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Please note they are synonyms. Not an exact match.

So as long as I call it bondage and not slavery I can have slaves oops I mean people bonded to me?

[redzero]

Answer my question, please.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

I don't think any reasonable person disputes the idea that the laws of the time were for those time.

How do you know that a ban on gay marriage wasn't just a law for those times?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

The person is "bonded" to the other, but wasn't a slave.

Please note they are synonyms. Not an exact match.

Example of the word bondage used:

<the Civil War ended over 200 years of bondage for black Africans in America>

So, what you're saying is, the Africans in America were "bonded" to their owner, but they weren't slaves?

[ElNono]

lol thinking that semantics is what's wrong...

Were there any laws to try these so called slaves of the times of Exodus, if they ran away from their masters?

Tell me, what was the law in that regard?

Were the Africans picking cotton in the South slaves, or were they just "bonded" to someone else? Answer the question.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Idk the specific answer to your question, but the bible clearly stipulates you're allowed to beat your slaves as long as they don't die, so if the slave were to run away, acceptable punishment according to god would be beating him to the point where he almost dies.

[Wild Cobra]

Slavery and Bonded servitude is not 100% the same, and the point I made that you obviously missed.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Slavery and Bonded servitude is not 100% the same

So bonded servitude is acceptable but slavery isn't?

I can't wait to pick up a homeless man as my bonded servant

[Wild Cobra]

Is that you Chump?

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Is that you Chump?

Sorry more than one person thinks your arguments are re ed

[ElNono]

Indentured servitude and Slavery are not the same, even though the former evolved quite naturally into slavery. Bondage and Slavery are pretty much the same.

[Wild Cobra]

Indentured servitude and Slavery are not the same, even though the former evolved quite naturally into slavery. Bondage and Slavery are pretty much the same.

During the times of Exodus, Bonded Servitude was simply normal. I'm not saying it was right by any standards of morality we know. Just that it was.

Again, I ask. What other option did these so-called slaves have, for any meaningful life?

[ChumpDumper]

You think the Bible was only referring to indentured servants?

Really, WTF are you trying to say here?
