Yes but you said nothing happens unless God wills it.

Didn't you say Pharaoh wouldn't be Pharaoh unless God willed it?

And Caesar wouldn't be Caesar unless God willed it?

Your version of God once endorsed slavery but His law changed and He does not endorse slavery anymore.

Maybe he had an amendment.

robbie may be about to try moving the goalposts. Notice how he said: "One only needs to look at the Roman treatment of slaves and compare it with the ordinances in the Bible to see a chasm of a difference".

I wouldn't have thought you would be treated any different.

A slave is a slave. You can do what you want with a slave.

where has the law changed? which law are you talking about? as usual you have no supporting evidence other than your ill informed and somewhat ignorant opinions, you were asked previously you could produce nothing, why, because you simply fail to understand the how covenants work, perhaps you will learn something after all.

No you cannot, that is why there were laws.

I do not need to move any goal posts, all I need to do us ask you for supporting evidence and time and time again, your posts resemble a rather flatulent whoopee cushion.

Does your version of God still endorse slavery?

The issue is not 'Roman treatment of slaves compared to Hebrew treatment of slaves'.

There may have been a certain code of conduct.
But a slave by virtue of the very name indicates
that you are the property of whoever owns you
and you will do their bidding. You would have no
rights and you would have to do as you were told
or severe penalties would be imposed upon you.


My question was,

if God created us all and He loves us all and we are
all his children.

Why then did some enjoy more privileges than others?

Why are some of His children to suffer enslavement?

You said nothing happens unless God wills it.

If He is a God of love why then would he allow this?

The question is very simple and deserves a simple answer.

because the world is full of injustice. what have you to say about those persons who voluntarily entered into slavery under the law covenant? why would they do such a thing, hmmm?

Your version God endorsed the injustice. Later He stopped endorsing it. This is what is known as "change".

you were asked which laws have changed, again your posts are empty and devoid of substance despite your assertions that the law (unspecified and undefined) has changed.

Why don't you just answer the question: Does your version of God still endorse slavery?
