You see, God truly does love us all!

I want to correct the last sentence, "for the slave is the owner's property" not the slave is his money. Owner's property means the responsibility of the owner or under the owners guide. I cannot contradict that God is a loving and compassionate God. If I say God it means that he is the Supreme Being, the Creator of heaven and earth. He is the God of Love that's why he sent Jesus Christ to be the Mediator between God and the human race. God is love and this is God's definition. No other definition but GOD IS LOVE!

Funny, how you can't imagine Jesus doing something like that, can you?
Strange, how Jesus spread peace and love, and was the son of the God who advocates killing slaves, yet there's not a single argument between them in the whole book?
Can you imagine that? God and Jesus arguing about whether or not it's ok to kill slaves? There's no passages, or verses about it, so I assume they didn't. So they were obviously one in the same on it.
And I never heard Jesus say anything killing slaves as being ok.

And when he is in authority, he runs about in the land to create disorder in it and destroys the tilth and the progeny of man; and God loves not disorder.
Those, who spend in prosperity and adversity, and those who suppress anger, and pardon men; and God loves those who do good;
It is not righteousness that you turn your faces to the East or the West, but truly righteous is he who believes in God and the Last Day and the angels and the Book and the Prophets, and spends his money out of love for Him, on the kindred and the orphans and the needy and the wayfarer and those who ask for charity, and for ransoming the captives; and observes prayer and pays the Zakat(poor rate); and those who fulfil their promise when they have made one, and the patient in poverty and afflictions and the steadfast in the time of war; it is these who have proved truthful and it is these who are truly God-Fearing.

This is from the OT which the Jewish people still follow. For christians God's love was to sent his only son to die for all of our sins.
“You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” - Romans 5:6-8
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16

God does not love us all.
Read John 3: 16-19
God loves those who love him. Jesus is returning not with love, love, love but with a sword and billions of people are going to be squished. Jesus asked, will there be faith?

Its not true that God is not loving... He tests our faith by putting us into difficult situations and those who fail in the test say that God is not a loving, just God!!! Sometimes out of frustration, even i end up saying that but then i realise that i was wrong and apologize to him!

lol indeed he is loving he allowed slaves to be beaten and the masters get away with it, but, should the slave die the master gets a slap on the wrists they don't get punished by death either.

You take one of hundreds of thousands of verses of Scripture out of its historical and temporal context and expect it to make sense?
Go get your favorite novel. Now tear a page out of it and read it to a friend. Will it possibly make any sense to them?
That's what I thought.
