Think you are to, just confused or wouldn't bother...
Anyway, imo, you never addressed my questions in regards to slavery or dinosaurs. You kind of tip toed around them. Lets stick to one topic at a time so there is no dodging or avoidance of the question Again, this is straight from the Bible. Please try and explain it to me.
I didn't tip toe around anything and thought i answered your question even giving links to study yourself, but im guessing younwant kone of that...
Slavery
"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[/COLOR]
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ." Ephesians 6:5
See here
12And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him. 13And he said unto Abram, Know of a surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; 14And also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out with great substance. 15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace; thou shalt be buried in a good old age. 16But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet full.
As i was saying, God even told Abraham what was to come. Do you think God wanted HIS people enslaved? They served them and were afflicted for hundreds of years by the Egyptians. Ya know, moses... " let my people go " ... God didn't create slavery but man needed laws on what God would tolerate.
You tried to brush these versus off and say God didn't condone slavery but since man are sinners, God had to create a law for it. LMAO. That's the biggest crock of shit ever and you know it.
See above paragraph
Why didn't God just make a commandment that said "Thou shall not own slaves"???? The bible doesn't provide law,it gives permission to own slaves and tells slaves to obey their masters.
Not going into why God would do this or that ...
We here in America talk about horrible ISIS is because they enslave Yazidis yet our own Bible condones the very shit ISIS does. The only difference is education. We're smarted over here so we don't actually follow crazy religious shit word for word.
Again, it didn't start with God. You sound ridiculous ... there have been slaves all through time. Just because slaves were recorded in the Bible and there were laws on such doesn't mean God is in agreement. We didn't live thousands of years ago, and don't know how ALL slaves were treated ... (look at joesph the dreamer) was sold into slavery, ended up working right under the pharaoh...
oh and thats not the only reason why we think isis is horrible. They are terrorist that have fallen astray to misguidance. They now bring fear, hate, and violence to those who don't believe as they do. They openly say they want to dominate other countries. They dominate their women, they can't drive, talk, show their face. They force their daughters to marry any joe of their pleasing .. they kill their own for dating the wrong race or person.
THIS HAS BEEN A CHRISTIAN NATION from the beginning, so i don't know what you mean when you say " we don't actually follow crazy religious shyt over here " ... WE ARE FOUNDED ON IT, so you like the usa? Then you like the overall standards of life as seen in america provided by God for Christians there..
