[QUOTE="PollyCranopolis, post: 5837624, member: 553423"] Ah! some old testament! God wrote rules for slavery in Le 25:39-55. Christians were to treat fellow Christians indebted to them as hired servants rather than as bondservants (v.39,40). Christian servants were to serve until the seventh year (Dt 15:12-15) or until the jubilee (Le 25:40), at which time they were to be released. Once a Christian servant is freed, he is not to be put back into servitude (Je 34:15-17). Therefore, if a Christian servant never wants to leave his master’s service, he can – before he is released – proclaim his undying love for his master and be made a servant forever (Dt 15:16,17). Most Christians think slavery is a sinful defrauding of human beings. They learned that from the world when, during the period leading up to the U.S. Civil War, they drew upon the Enlightened principles of equality in order to “know” (not discern) that the ancient institution of slavery was horribly ungodly, sinful, demeaning, cruel, and unjust. But I digress, I havent been to church in years. I take no issue with people devoid of religion. Just people who attack others based off their personal beliefs. It seems it's the "hip" thing for kids to do nowadays. Mini arm-chair intellectuals assuming they know all the answers of time and space, believing others with differing views to be foolish or uneducated. [/QUOTE]
