Leviticus 25:44-46 However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.
Exodus 21:2-6 If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever.

i was reading in the Quran and my eyes came into this verse that says God collected us and witnessed us that He is God and we have testified that He is God. and that happend before our existance on earth.

[172] And (remember) when your Lord brought forth from the Children of Adam, from their loins, their seed (or from Adam's loin his offspring) and made them testify as to themselves (saying): "Am I not your Lord?" They said: "Yes! We testify," lest you should say on the Day of Resurrection: "Verily, we have been unaware of this."
Quran 7:172

can you explain? how were we, were we spirits, souls, physical bodied..etc? and where did we live before coming into this life?

I have been working for my company for nearly a year and a half now. When hired I was hired with the understanding that I was off on Sundays for church and church volunteering. Recently in the past several months my company backed out on that deal and is practically telling me if I wanna keep my job I will work the Sundays they schedule me. Even with this weeks upcoming schedule I said I had to be off for church and I was told that I couldn't have it off because my manager and another employee (his friend) were taking off for a birthday party. I'm known at my corporate human resources as 'church boy'. I feel my religious views are being brushed aside and not taken in to consideration. I don't know what to do. Any help would be amazing. Take care and God bless.

Q: What is the shortest chapter in the Bible?

A: Psalms 117

Q: What is the longest chapter in the Bible?

A: Psalms 119

Q: Which chapter is in the center of the Bible?

A: Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters before Psalms 118

Fact: There are 594 chapters after Psalms 118

Add these numbers up and you get 1188.

Q: What is the center verse in the Bible?

A: Psalms 118:8

Q: Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives?

Psalms 118:8

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man."

Now isn't that odd how this worked out (or was God in the center of it)?


The next time someone says they would like to find

God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to

be in the center of His will, just send them to the

center of His Word!

Around 1800, William Smith in England, who was a canal surveyor, noticed that he could map out great tracts of rocks on the basis of their contained fossils. The sequences he saw in one part of the country could be correlated (matched) precisely with the sequences in another. He, and others at the time, had discovered the first principles of stratigraphy -- that older rocks lie below younger rocks and that fossils occur in a particular, predictable order.
Then, geologists began to build up the stratigraphic column, the familiar listing of divisions of geological time -- Jurassic, Cretaceous, Tertiary, and so on. Each time unit was characterized by particular fossils. The scheme worked all round the world, without fail.
From the 1830s onwards, geologists noted how fossils became more complex through time. The oldest rocks contained no fossils, then came simple sea creatures, then more complex ones like fishes, then came life on land, then reptiles, then mammals, and finally humans.

Why do some of you appear more like anti-Christians than atheists?

To be sure, an atheist is a person who doesnt believe in supreme beings. That means disbelief in the Judeo-Christian God, Allah, etc. (Strangely, no one seems to be critical of Yahweh or Allah...)

But much of the tone in posts of atheists here seems more anti-religious. I.e., not only do I not believe in your God, but let me tell you why you are beneath me because you believe in your God. That's not atheism. That's impiousness.

I'm a Christian and believe to each his own. If you dont want to believe in God, then that is your decision. That makes you an atheist. If you also think less of me because I believe in God then that makes you impious or irreligious.

Atheism is not impiousness. Please remember that when you represent yourself as an atheist.

I keep seeing Christians claim that our laws are based on the Ten Commandments. I didn't know that Moses brought us freedom of speech, freedom from cruel and unusual punishment, and the right to bear arms. I was also unfamiliar with the part of the ten commandments that tells us we don't have to quarter soldiers. Wow that Moses was amazing, giving us laws for things that didn't exist.

I've been hearing from a lot of people saying that bush said that Atheist in his eyes are not citizens or patriotic, exscuse me for the misspellings. But What happen to freedom of religion.

Not trying to be disrespectful to anyone but If we atheist shouldn't be citizens then they should take "In god we trust" off of the american money and make it to something like "United we stand Divided we fall".
