Does the Christian God think its okay to have slaves?
0 What do Christians think of this passage from The Bible?
Excerpt from Exodus, Chapter 1:
“When you buy a male Hebrew slave, he shall serve for six years, but in the seventh he shall go out a free person, without debt. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master’s and he shall go out alone. But if the slave declares, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out a free person’, then his master shall bring him before God. He shall be brought to the door or the doorpost; and his master shall pierce his ear with an awl; and he shall serve him for life..

It means that Christians are brainwashed, they do not see the insanity of their God, a God into blood, into incest, into HELL(eternal torture for non believers) IT IS INSANE TO BELIEVE SUCH A TRIPE!

The Biblical "slave" is more like an endentured servant which we still have to this day. The parts that should stand out to everyone are the protections provided. Were American slaves allowed to go free after 6 years? Is wearing an earring such an awful punishment for someone who chooses to remain in his master's family?
In other sections, you will find that "slaves" were to be treated like family and were to be given a day of rest. No other culture of the time provided such protections for the least of the population. No other culture of the time held leaders accountable to the same laws as the rest of the people.

You're an excessively naughty woman! And you additionally wasted a fine possibility. Instead of developing a straw guy argument approximately whatever that simply isn't within the Bible, you COULD have picked an illustration that IS within the Bible. So why did not you? Because you could not uncover something remotely very similar to the obnoxious illustration you went on approximately? The Bible consistently states the explanations for God's judgments on participants and companies of men and women. It consistently has to do with wickedness and collecting evil. For illustration, he gave the Amorites over four hundred years earlier than appearing to smash them. The four hundred years simplest prompted the Amorites to devote increasingly atrocities in opposition to different men and women. But appear how God's endurance is used as an excuse to rage in opposition to God's eventual judgment! Well, Mark, thanks for making me snigger - at seven of the clock this Friday morning! Excellent! Apple offers the pleasant ripost for your query, incidentally. No want for me to mention extra.

It means that the Hebrews were the first people in history to create protections for slaves or to limit the right of owners to harm them. In this passage, slavery is limited to six years rather than a life sentence (unless he chooses to serve for life).

Christians bought slaves from arab/muslim slaver traders, so the one god (whichever one you choose) must have thought this was an acceptable practice.
Or maybe this is all just a mistake, no god has ever sanctioned slavery . . . or there is no god to do so.

They don't talk about that. "Don't think on it too much, just love God."
