The Mosaic Code is actually in favor of slavery. But then when you consider the Golden Rule, you have to wonder.

Slavery is not a sin, or at least not one of the 10 commandments, most religions actually profited by slavery. In northern Africa the Arab Muslims are making profit of it now. You need to look to The 11th commandment, the one Jesus installed, Love thy Father with all your heart, and treat your fellow man as you would truly wish to be treated.

on the right of the day, i'm not even confident it concerns. Christians trust that Jesus replaced into despatched to Earth to absolve us of our sins, and so if we are repentant of them, we will be forgiven. Given this, i imagine that if there's a God, He needs us to be consistent and stay existence in a fashion that would not damage or abate others. finally, the human beings who furnish you with those lectures are breaking their personal conception that God is the basically judgmental pressure in Christianity; the numerous maximum judgmental human beings are those who declare that God is the basically entity that ought to decide people. no matter if that is a commandment, a perilous sin, or said interior the multiple regulations of the former testomony, the hot testomony teaches that, at the same time as those issues are not out the window, they are not insurmountable. i will't imagine a God which could make human beings diverse and then punish them for being diverse, and that i will't understand a self-purported "authentic" Christian that ought to't options his/her personal organization.

The bible does not condem slavery, it does have some instruction as to how you sould treat slaves and who you can make a slave but I would not condem it because it was acceptable to the majority of the population as it was in "western culture" up until the 19th century

Slavery is discussed, but not as a sin. It says for masters to be kind to their slaves and to love them. It says for the slaves to serve their masters whole heartedly. Of course, slavery was a bit different back then, from when the blacks experienced it. Every seven years slaves were set free, as was the custom of Jubalee, when everyone was forgiven their debts to eachother.

The hebrews were slaves to the Egyptians and God punished them for it. Slaves in Israel were much different. First they were taking care of and treated well. Second off they were freed after 7 years If they wanted to. Many of them wanted to be slaves, as since they were taken care of, and given work. It was totally different then the slaves of the early American history.
