Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves as long as they're purchased from neighboring countries?

Question

My friend said this means I can own both Canadians AND Mexicans, whereas I think I can only own Canadian slaves.

Who is correct?

This question is not as old as the nutballs claiming the Old Testament "doesn't count".

Answer 1

Well, the Good News of Jesus means we can toss out all the OT rules that we don't like. So if some wiseacre like yourself tries to embarass us with one of the more barbaric rules, we can simply sneer that we are now under grace, and it no longer applies. Then we can get back to persecuting gay people based on Leviticus.

Answer 2

Slaves were replaced by technique of salary slaves on the business revolution. classic slavery is now no longer an outstanding thanks to get some thing executed. as both Romans on the acceptable of the e book Spartacus observed the fee to output ratio for slavery is totally not properly worth it. you should feed, residing house, and dress them. Their moral is low, (no matter if you turn a blind eye to their unlawful marriages and Pagan sexual practices) which signifies that their artwork is shoddy, unreliable, and customarily sabotaged. Then aspect in searching after them at the same time as they're ill, pregnant, or overwhelmed senseless and they only change right into a burden. salary slaves on the different hand fortunately do not ordinary artwork for far less funds then you really could spend on a slave. the phantasm of freedom keeps their moral up and accordingly the time-honored of their artwork. they ought to guard their personal residing needs and damage day for ailment. Heck in the adventure that they do no longer provide sufficient, you may consistently hearth them and employ a sparkling one with a sparkling attitude and healthful body.

Answer 3

your friend is correct. it's permissible to own both canadians and mexicans. but of course candians can't own americans, because we are god's chosen people. you may beat your slaves, but not so hard that you knock their teeth out. and since you are a christian master, they must work especially hard for you.

and actually jesus said to fulfill every part of the law, for some reason people are under the impression that he rescinded old testament law, or that he opposed slavery, he did neither

According to the Bible, you can own either Mexicans or Canadians (or both) as slaves as long as you don't treat them so badly as to do damage to their eyes or their teeth.

Answer 6

The Mosaic Law doesn't give YOU the right to own slaves at all if you're Gentile. If you're Jewish, and the Law pertains to you, then we'll talk.

Sorry, this "fundie" is too smart to fall for such weak bait.

Answer 7

These are laws given by Moses.

Jesus said; the laws were given by Moses (Not by God, but by Moses), but grace and truth (the true bread) came by Jesus Christ.

The Word Of God was cast down to the earth, and dwelt among us, and we received Him (the true bread) not.

Jesus said I come not to destroy the LAWS but to FULFILL, you can not change or destroy oaths, they can only be fulfilled
