I don't know anything about the Bible Robbie.
To me it is just a collection of writings written by
misogynistic self centred men thousands of years ago.
Fanciful writing to impress others less educated than them.
The figurative language used is vague and meaningless.
I said it to you before if there was only one true God and one true rel ...[text shortened]... ligions and you even have sub divisions
within those religions.
No one has the true answer.

-Removed-I seem to be fairly lucid and to type rather well for an inebriated person, yah think? its untrue because you are attempting to construe that i had drank to excess, a plain lie, that is what makes it an untruth divesgeester and you are quite wrong, one single glass is enough to make one feel relaxed. I don't mean to be rude but is this the summation of your spirituality, its akin to FMF's trolling to be honest, rather tiresome.
Originally posted by sumydidThis thread has been about actual slavery rather than figures of speech and metaphors using the words "slave" or "slavery".
Anyone who sells themselves to an employer is a slave on some level. Even the ones who refuse to work and take their checks from the government are slaves to the government.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieWait a minute. So you admit that I was right all along to press you on the matter of 'Where in the Bible does it say Christians are permitted by God to own slaves?' and you concede that you were wrong and retracted it all BUT you don't take back any of the Clans Forum style ad hominems and personal abuse that you heaped on me for raising the issue and for pressing you on what turned out to be your complete misinterpretation and misrepresentation of Christian principles relating to slavery?
I have just admitted that I was wrong, I publicly retracted my statement.

'Sorry you were right all along FMF, but it was OK for me to insult you page after page because I thought you were wrong at the time' ... is that how your vanity works? 😵
Originally posted by FMFJust as I thought. Nothing here you seem to get even with a very simple example of connecting what this has to do with slavery in the Bible and what was approved by God.
[b]Let me ask you a question, I know you will not answer, but here goes.
If your son or daughter had comitted a crime against your neighbor, lets say steal their nice new 60" flat screen TV and sold it to another person.
Now that TV is gone but your child was found guilty of this crime and now has to be punished as they should be.
Would you choose 5 yea ...[text shortened]... human property can go free? What does your question have to do with the institution of slavery?

Hello, anyone in there? The TV was and example and not really something they had back then. Ya think?....Lol
Originally posted by galveston75galveston75, we have been discussing actual slavery, not "slavery" as a metaphor. Someone being "free" from a debt after paying it off, or someone being punished for a crime and thus paying their 'debt to society', has not been a "slave", has not been a victim of "enslavement", and is not becoming free from "slavery". This is a serious topic. The slavery being discussed on this thread is humans owning other humans as their property, humans selling humans, slave owners beating slaves with impunity, slave owners deciding if and when a slave can have their freedom, if ever. Your analogies are way off target and inane.
Lets see. If a student does not get what a teacher is explaining to them, this means that the student is right and the teacher is wrong. Oh ok I see how it works. Ha!

Now that TV is gone but your child was found guilty of this crime and now has to be punished as they should be. Would you choose 5 years in a prison with all kinds of wonderfull roomies to hang out with for your child, or simply letting that child go live with that neighbor who is a decent person and will treat your child with full respect and care for a time period that will be in compensation for that crime. You know to work it off until paid?
This analogy of yours has absolutely nothing to do with the slavery depicted in the bible that we have been discussing here. "Slaves" were humans who were treated as property, not criminals paying off debts. You are thinking of some kind "indentured servitude". We have been discussing "slavery", the buying and selling of humans etc..
