@_coolguy5000@DiphyCue@Jillie_Alexis I had to go back and check, and you've responded to me twice now (not counting this one). I came in after the screenshot you show there if that helps?
@SpeaksAbigail@TiaAnnRose@Kleo__888@ABC You're referring to laws only for Israelites now. It was non-Israelites who could be owned as slaves. Usually it was not voluntary either, and their children after them. Please remember we're talking about your claim about the Bible here.
@SpeaksAbigail@TiaAnnRose@Kleo__888@ABC We're not comparing and contrasting modern practices to Biblical practices. I'm talking about whether the Bible "stands against slavery" as you claimed. And by slavery, I mean lifelong, generational chattel slavery just to be clear.
@TiaAnnRose@SpeaksAbigail@Kleo__888@ABC That verse says nothing about slavery, let alone "refutes" it. I'm asking you how the verses I quoted somehow stand against slavery?
@_coolguy5000@DiphyCue@Jillie_Alexis You said it was Moses words. I simply corrected you. And the Bible told us God hates divorce, and Jesus told us it was not meant to be. Show me anything remotely close to that for slavery.
@SpeaksAbigail@TiaAnnRose@Kleo__888@ABC I'm not talking about slavery for Israelites, but for non-Israelites who could be owned as slaves by Israelites. After Egypt, Israelites could not be made slaves. But non-Israelites could. That's who I'm talking about.
@LawsonLayt18543@peggyeshipman@God_Questioner So you would agree then that the Bible condoned lifelong, generational chattel slavery? Modern practices and Biblical slavery have at least that in common.
@TiaAnnRose@SpeaksAbigail@Kleo__888@ABC Sure, let's have a discussion. 1 Corinthians 13:2 says nothing about slavery. If we could stick to verses about slavery we can get likely get somewhere.
So here are some verses that very specifically condone slavery. We can start here. How is this "standing against slavery"?
@TiaAnnRose@SpeaksAbigail@Kleo__888@ABC The Bible most certainly does not stand against slavery. Abolitionists like Wilberforce used the Bible in spite of what the Bible specifically says about slavery itself, not because of it.
Yes, the Bible very clearly condoned slavery. The curse of Ham was not used to justify slavery itself, it was used to justify race-based slavery of blacks. Those are two very different things. You don't need to invent the silly curse to get the Bible to condone slavery.
