Old Testament deals with history, but New Testament deals with the reforms introduced by Jesus in the Jewish society. Your discovery does not disclose anything new.

And that is a lie.
Exd 21:7 ¶ And if a man sell his daughter to be a maidservant, she shall not go out as the menservants do.
"IF a man..."

Yes these were part of the old isaeralite (mosaic) laws from the hebrew scriptures a lot of these laws don't apply now however the principles behind the law do apply. if you take time to look at the gospels of Jesus' teachings they explain what the law means to us today and also the greek book of hebrews (new testament) explains why them laws are no longer in play e.g. the sacrifices had to be made regualarly in the old law however once Jesus sacrificed his life for us we no longer needed to make more sacrifices.

Those were laws that were to be abided by during those times..laws have changed and there are still some crazy laws present from centuries ago today. The Bible is full of history and we can all learn how people thought back then and how we think today.

Thoose were under the OT laws, and Jesus came to Fulfill them, not to abolish them as you can read in Mathew 5:17- 20. The OT was written in times where they did not have a savior who died for thier sins, but commandments and rules that were to be lived by. Jesus came and took the burden of the OT, and Fullfilled it.
We are no longer under the laws of the OT, or people would be stoning one another in the streets, and sacraficing lambs left and right. Jesus fulfilled the laws- Forgave everyones sin on the cross. We are now under the NT laws.

yeah? and so? it's The Word of God so if the Bible god instructs you on how to sell your daughter that is how you must conduct the transaction,
and of course naughty kids should die for their rudeness. teach em a lesson.
and how else will you keep your slaves in line? by being nice nice? don't be silly. you know how uppity slaves can get.
6 years sounds about right. who needs a useless broken down slave ya have to feed after you've worked all the vitality out of him?
all sounds like good advice to me.

The Bible is the greatest book there is or will ever be. However, consider the time it was written and realize that we have evolved. Don't cherry pick on small things and we ALL will be better off

Most Christians have never actually read the Bible (by surveys). The ones who haven't say "This is the Old Testament. The laws don't count".
IMO, I think these are very horrible laws.

Yeah, there's a lot of sick stuff in the bible. Definitely NC17 material. But there's a lot of good stuff too, which doesn't get said enough here.
