According to the various perceptions of men, which were not the thoughts of God.
However, there are some things that inspire us to move beyond the foolishness.
He won't answer because he has tried and failed in the past. No one has been able to offer a valid answer. He said there is nothing in the Bible which condemns slavery, and I told him that Exodus 21:16 states, “Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession.” Americans and Europeans kidnapped people from Africa and brought them here to work as slaves, and the bible condemns such behavior. I also told him it violates "love your neighbor" commandment. Thirdly I mentioned Paul said "do not become slaves of other people". He was against slavery.
And THEN you were shown that that does NOT condemn slavery and that other passages concerning how to treat slaves clearly support the institution itself, which you had to acknowledge, and THEN you said that the golden rule covers it.
You have an AMAZINGLY selective memory, Finn.
However, I will give you credit fpr one thing: you don't try to pass off the idea that there is really nothing wrong with slavery itself as some do when put into the same position.

Sorry Nate, but you lose when you claim there is nothing in the Bible which condemns slavery, and then someone proves you dead wrong by quoting some verses which condemn it.
It is what it is.
So, how do you know about the death of Jesus? Is his death an important event?
it's about using the HS to identify the inspirations the HS gave to the ignorant men who interpreted them from the ideations of the men themselves and their religious leaders. Get it straight, will ya?

Yes, it is easy to say. That must be why you say it and then attribute it to others who did NOT say it!
