pay 30 sheckels. Isn't Jesus condoning slavery and putting a price on human life?

Okay, here is your proof. I wasnt 100% correct. It was god who said it, not Jesus.
Exodus Chapter 21, verse 20:
If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
Exodus Chapter 21, verse 32:
If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull must be stoned.

Jesus did NOT say that. You're misquoting Exodus 21:20-21
(20) "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, (21) but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.
Jesus never once mentioned slavery in the written records of his teachings.

yes please post the quote you mean
actually the 30 pieces of silver is the price of a female slave, if you cause the accidental death from the Torah
and incredibly, God was prrohesied to someday be valued by the prophesy of Zechariah that someday God would be valued at 30 peices of silver, the price of a female slave
and Jesus was ... thats the price paid to Judas
Jesus entered into the humiliate and pain and daid the price of redemption

you rather have performed your examine, attaboy (and that i in my opinion propose it, I certainly have a severe face on, in case you cant see it). Morals are defined via the circumstances, what became into solid then is undesirable now and vice-versa. the numerous factor is to look previous the numerous factors in leviticus and deutoronomy and concentration on the numerous stuff, like the call for charity, cleanliness, peace, and justice. i think of the Christian gospels are the terrific at conversing those abstracts that have been given confuzzled via the mistranslations and the changing circumstances. Dont forget approximately that the OT became into written for a team of nomads unfold in the time of the Fertile Crescent. there became right into a feeling of order and strictness that had to be typical. attempting to be conscious them to society in recent times is like attempting to in large condition an american plug in a ecu outlet, or diesel in a petroleum engine. various the regulations back then have been made to maintain the society and save human beings large (as in sort) and wholesome. in certainty, lots of the regulations, while in contact with a grain of salt, experience those morals you have. the factor i'm attempting to make is that the religion is solid at its center, yet its been lined with all the muck from its previous. in case you could seem previous that, you will discover how solid that's.

Hm. Judging from the answers here, I'm guessing that they don't think Jesus was 'God' at the time this was written. I've heard Christians claim that Jesus was around at the time of Adam and Eve ("man is become as one of us") but I guess he took long lunch hours occasionally.

Jesus never said that, but He did say this about people like you twisting the word of God...
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Revelation 22;19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

This is news to me. Where does Jesus say such a thing?
What is the verse/chapter.

How do you know what Jesus said? Did you read it in the bible?
The bible was written by men over 2000 years. DO you belive a fairy tale?

Jesus pronounced in many places that he is God, Additionally, 2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed, so yes, Jesus blessed slavery like a southerner would.

He absolutly is. Nowhere in the bible does it say slavery is wrong. It simply gives rules for it.
