I doubt it.
The only people he could "turn against God" are already against God.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieBut you are studiously avoiding giving any explanation of the moral basis of the institution of slavery. Or where the Biblical law governing it is laid out. Why is that?

What are the "nits" you are referring to? Who has been using "twisted logic" on this thread?
Your MO is always the same. And frankly, I'm getting tired of reading it, thread after thread after thread.
Edit: Maybe you should read up on game theory and the importance of the "meta-game". You're doing yourself a disservice.

Either back up your accusation or admit that you falsely accused me. Why not show this forum that you're capable of some semblance of integrity? Would it really be such a terrible thing if you did?
Once again:
Like I said:

All you've done thus far amounts to reiterating your accusation. Show how it is a lie. You made the accusation. So now back it up.[/quote]

Are you saying that Philemon was not a serous Christian, yet Paul describes him as a beloved brother and a Bible book bears his name, sorry , i find that unacceptable. Peter infact admonishes slaves to render to their master a proper days service! Is Peter also not a very serious Christian?

Well, did he?
I think that alone should tell you all you need to know.

Better hurry and go read up on the "meta-game" so maybe (just maybe) you can figure out what I'm on about.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAgain:
its a different system, the former being based in mandates, the latter on the exercise of conscience. Principles still apply, but the Law was no longer practised.
So you accept that the moral guidance given in the 'divinely inspired' OT is different from that given in the 'divinely inspired' NT?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieChrist "not [saying] a thing against slavery" does not constitute a moral basis for the institution of slavery.
whut? Christ said not a thing against slavery as a social institution and he never had an xbox360 either, so by your logic, neither should any Christians have an xbox360,
Originally posted by SuzianneMy God is not evil. And my holy book proves that. Your "proof" that God is evil simply does not stand.
You also forget that the Bible was also applied as a history book. Slavery was widespread across the earth in those days, most slaves were taken as "spoils of war". For one people to stand up against slavery during a time when it was a common practice worldwide would make them targets worldwide. Jews already had enough on their plate without giving them ...[text shortened]... member that logic fails in the face of reality. Logic says bumblebees cannot fly, either.
It is clear that the God of the OT condones slavery. If you believe that slavery is evil, what does that say about a God that condones slavery?
