Not only that but she mentioned how they are thinking about changing the word slavery in the bible to servant...slippery slope. Isn't that against the word? Also you give ammunition to athiest that the bible has been altered.

Why are you becoming senseless in your thoughts (knowing some justified slavery using the Bible while others used it to end slavery) given non is good to know we need a SAVIOUR? Here are truth statements from the Bible that humans are shaped in the sin nature called iniquity, the wages of sin is death, and there is an appointed time for a person to die, after that COMES GOD'S JUDGMENT. The evidence is the creation of laws (GOD'S LAW INFLUENCING humans to create man made laws to deal with the sin nature), and our mortality. We were birth into the knowledge of evil (that is the learning of harming the body) unknowingly under the umbrella of a civilized world, meaning that laws were put in place to control said knowledge of evil by enabling us to evolve culturally and morally. Civilization is like a rainbow that makes our characters look pretty because laws cannot change the hearts of people, but only can act as a disciplinarian. Consequently, we become civilized which supports the fact that non of us is good given being civilized is not the same as being good. Simply put, humanity is sick with sin, sin makes laws necessary & laws are the stability needed to build a civilization. How can a civilized person, who is guilty of violating GOD'S LAW escape HIS JUDGEMENT?

Yes! 🤗

It's not complicated, it's immoral.

Indeed the Bible does condone the practice of slavery, even if we decide to change its name into "servitude" or whatever other denomination. People should read the Bible with accuracy and then try to deal with the issue with intellectual honesty.

Yep... She's being completely dishonest and it's clearly intentional.

thank you 💟

Hi Helen 👋 I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….

Now comes a prayer to help in the spiritual journey by encouraging the reader to examine the heart to see if it is pleasing to GOD THROUGH THE PERSON OF JESUS CHRIST using caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for HIS SOVEREIGNTY. On a balcony of space STEPPED A PURE AND HOLY GOD. IN AWESOME SOLITUDE YOU STOOD ALONE. Not one faint star to give YOU light; just endless darkness, it was blackest night. But somehow in the darkness YOU COULD SEE. YOU SAW mountains high and lofty, YOU SAW valleys lush and green. YOU SAW babbling brooks, and wildflowers grow, YOU EVEN HEARD a robin sing. Then through YOUR COMPASSION STANDING OUT THERE IN YOUR TOMORROW, YOU SAW forum's visitors, their families and friends. 🥰 YOU SAW them as sinners (missing the mark resulting in their weaknesses prevailing causing guilt of wrong doing) because there is no intrinsic righteousness in any of us due to Adam’s sin. YOU SAW them as they grew from a baby into adulthood due to YOUR HANDS OF MERCY. 🥰 YOU SAW them pursuing a career path for the purpose of obtaining the gains of the world not realizing that it is a loss compared to what YOU DID on the cross. YOU SAW them working long and laboring hard to receive the grace by justification even though YOU stated, "This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent."(John 6:29 KJV) YOU SAW the unwillingness to accept YOUR PLAN OF SALVATION THROUGH YOUR SON JESUS CHRIST. YOU SAW them living with the guilt of committing crimes to the heart. YOU SAW them enduring personal crisis. YOU SAW the weight of the burden on their hearts with each tribulation. YOU SAW them seeking comfort from the above mentioned topography, ONE OF THE MANY MARVELS YOUR PERFECT HANDS HAVE MADE. 👏👏👏 YOU SAW their worries about tomorrow. If their hearts were a window that they could look through, oh the pains and scars they would see. What a cruel fate the skin gives as a mask to the inward pain. But the skin couldn’t cover THE SUFFERING YOUR ONE AND ONLY SON BORED on the cross as PAYMENT for all our sins because HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS ALONE HAD THE MERIT TO MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR HOLINESS. Indeed, ONLY HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SUFFICIENT TO SAVE us from this present evil world as evidenced by Mary's song of praise. "And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour." (Luke 1:46-47 KJV) Awesome thanks to YOUR GREAT PARDON for being easy on the heart. 🥰 They have seen a lot of crazy things done in YOUR NAME. For example, the father of lies futile attempts to make crooked the right ways of the LORD to turn people away from faith in the WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST ALONE. How can anyone bear the thought of his or her life story detracting from the GLORY AND HONOR KNOWN TO BELONG TO CHRIST ALONE? As a consequence, YOU ARE A MYSTERY OF GREAT MYSTERY to them. Despite this conviction, YOU ARE MINDFUL of them as evidenced by the fact that YOUR JUDGEMENT is not speedy, allowing them to pursue the desires of the flesh. They are aware of hypocrisy in religious assemblies that like to be seen and heard. In addition, secular education teaches that there is no right and wrong, if GOD exists there is no way of relating to HIM, and moral standards shift according to the whims of fashion. Therefore, their minds are conditioned to question everything this world has to offer including “THY POWER THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE DISPLAYED.” They have accepted the heavy burden of dealing with the troubles of this life and seek to know another way, YOU THE GREAT COMFORTER TO ALL who did receive YOU as their personal SAVIOR. Still, YOU have shown them NEW MERCY every day with each thought they make and each breath they take. Unfortunately, like the prodigal son, we are all guilty of wandering far from YOU LORD because the negative experiences of our lives tend to build roadblocks to the TRUTH. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them to identify the way, truth, and eternal life (that is YOU). Since to know and follow your SPIRIT is more exciting than any 007 movies, and YOU DELIGHT MAKING the ordinary into extraordinary. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST MAKE them understand that there is no way around YOUR TRUTH, and that there is something about YOUR NAME. As time marches on, JESUS CHRIST HELP them defeat in their minds what is false in YOUR EYES. LORD GUIDE their thoughts to know that the path of sin is hard on their hearts for the purpose of crying out to YOU to know the joy, peace of having the heavy burden LIFTED by THE GOD OF PEACE I AM, and ANCHOR their souls in THE HAVEN OF REST. In other words, LORD use the storms in their lives to get a hold of them to trust YOU and believe. In truth, YOU ARE THE JOY that seekest them through pain. LORD HELP their fainting hearts to believe that YOU, who was slain on the cross over 2000 years ago has the POWER TO CHANGE lives today through the INSTANTANEOUS GREAT FAVOR from GOD to the house of Israel made known in believers by YOU to make YOUR NAME EVERLASTING. 🥰 For as the statue liberates the citizens so the cross liberates the soul. ONLY YOU can calm the trouble waters of the mind when one admits to wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, JESUS IS LORD, and believes in the heart that GOD RAISED HIM from the dead TO LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt away from the heart in accordance to YOUR WORD found in Psalm 51:1-10 KJV. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 O, the wonder of it all to experience within the flesh the feeling of a tree being cut back/pruned in order for it to grow stronger and more beautiful after meditating on the words of said Psalm. 🥰🙌 LORD MAKE them know that ONLY YOUR HOLY SPIRIT, through the experience of a new birth within believers, can prevent the family circle from being broken because THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE YOU HAVE GRANTED means a chapter of their lives is decided. Creation sings the rebirth song for them yearly, through YOUR PROMISE of springtime, giving rise to the idea that by the mention of YOUR NAME flowers grow, and the desert blooms again. 🥰 LORD GUIDE their understanding of words to use to come into YOUR PRESENCE with an honest reverence of WHO YOU ARE to experience the beauty that time can't erase YOUR WISDOM resting on their faces. LORD STRENGTHEN their determination to never waiver in efforts to search for YOU because the wages of sin is too high for anyone to pay. Additionally, THE KING OF KINGS is needed in their hearts to learn how to expand their capacity to love for YOU are LOVE in any language. 🥰 Once they learn to speak it with boldness through YOUR WONDERFUL COUNSELING all the world will hear, and know that LOVE is the language of their hearts. So LORD, KEEP KNOCKING on their door until they let YOU in to know hardships and struggles will end with a GREAT CELEBRATION WITH YOU. 🥰🙌 If one believes faith cannot be forced, YOU WILL GIVE that individual over to the stubborn heart to follow own counsel which will surely fail him or her to the extent that the punishment will last forever found in Psalms 81 NIV. Given this, I pray that YOU WILL MAKE that person see that this feeling is wasted for a world in which we become strangers as we age, gives us thrills instead of peace, aims to solve a problem but creates another, and unrest surges with each passing generation. Shed some light into their broken hearts for YOU ARE THE GREAT JEHOVAH, THE GOD THAT HEALETH thee. Lastly, LORD when they call on YOU in earnest prayer to come into their hearts to be born again (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life), I pray that YOU WILL GIVE them the blessed assurance of their salvation because nothing breaks YOUR HEART, or tears YOU apart like when they cry from the trials of the devil who comes to slander, falsely accuse, steal, kill & destroy. Only by drawing nearer to YOU LORD will put them on a path to a glorious one way trip winding upward to YOU where pain is not welcome because the heart will never break anymore. For ONLY YOU UNDERSTANDS our tears since YOU LOOK at the heart, while humans look at the flesh. O LOVE that will not let them go. When they don't have the strength to try, and have cried all they can cry hear their hearts that need YOU more today than yesterday. Many thanks LORD for speaking TRUTH in our lives TO BLESS those who are not offended by THEE. LET YOUR WILL BE DONE because YOUR LOVE ALONE CONQUERS everything by WAITING for them to cease struggling, and finally surrender to YOUR EMBRACE to learn about YOUR LOVE AND PROMISE TO TAKE CARE of your children exquisitely. 🥰 Since... "at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore"... (Psalms 16:11 KJV), and the nail print for them to know YOU by answering the following question. How did CHRIST LOVE people into a relationship with HIM? 🥰

The bible never condemns slavery. It comdems the eating of bugs before it damns the iwningnof another person.

@@frankstanley8499 Then why does it say explicitly that if you kidnap someone and force them into labor you get the death penalty? Or if you kidnap them and sell them, you AND the person you sold them to get put to death? That’s Leviticus 21:16.

@@jessemorris5125 Deuteronomy 21:10-14 But sex slavery and rape are cool. Shut up.

@@frankstanley8499 You mean the verses that state that the Israelites were NOT to rape and pillage the female captives of war that was the usual thing done by barbaric countries? And that God commanded the Israelites NOT to do such things.. That what you’re talking about? That if they wanted them they had to marry them but before they could do that they had to have the woman cut her hair,clip her nails,and put on sackcloth and mourn for anyone she lost in the battle for 30 days. The hair cutting,clipping of nails and sackcloth and time of mourning was the traditional Jewish way they mourned…you know that right?? But if you had issues with her after(meaning religious issues), you could NOT sell her but let her go back to her ppl because she was humbled because she was no longer a virgin. It’s important to not look at these scriptures with a western point of view when u need to understand the eastern culture at the time, thousands of years ago to understand them in proper context. So much for your sex slavery claim…Because it’s literally just not true. How many lies have you told in your life? Ever stolen anything? Hated anyone? Jesus said if you’ve hated anyone you have committed murder in your heart. Jesus said if you’ve ever looked with lust you’ve committed adultery in your heart. Ever done that? If you have,God sees you as a lying, thieving, murderering,adulterer at heart. And the Bible warns if you were to die right now you’d go to Hell. But do you know the Bible also says God is rich in mercy (Ephesians 2:4)? And it’s not God’s Will that anyone should perish. You know what God did so guilty sinners wouldn’t go to Hell? God became a man, Jesus of Nazareth, walked sinless and took the sin of the world on His shoulders when He suffered and died on the cross. Then rose from the dead in 3 days defeating your worst fear…death itself. His last words on the cross were “IT IS FINISHED” meaning the debt for sin has been paid. Sin has to be punished because God is Holy and NO SIN can be in His presence. Should rapists be punished? Murderers? Hitler? Of course they should and we all know that. If you’re in court with a stack of fines about to go to jail but someone comes in and pays your fine The judge can legally let you go and still be just. That’s what Jesus did for you. The Old Testament tells you God’s plan to save humanity from sin and death and The New Testament shows you how He did it. What you need to do is repent of your sins and put your trust in Jesus. God promises the moment you do that, He’ll blot out every sin you’ve ever done, give you a new heart with new desires and guarantees that you will pass from death to life. We’re all under a curse my friend, 100 out of 100 of us will die. Your problem is you absolutely know there is a God and you absolutely Hate Him. I’m not telling you to join a specific church church,I don’t want your money. I just care about where you’re going on that day when death inevitably closes your eyes. I hope you can see that my friend.

The negative influences of this world are designed to make our heart sick through emotional & physical pain resulting in a given person turning to music as one source of comfort to the body. The painful realty of this existence gives rise to the birth of music in two forms, earthly & HEAVENLY. Earthly music speaks to the experiences of this world through the singer-song writer’s eyes. Oftentimes drug use (i.e. alcohol, smokes, marijuana, cocaine, opioids, benzos and propofol to name a few) is intertwined with the survival of an artist to deal with the pressure of performing in order to stay relevant in the music industry, and to serve as fuel for creativity. As a result, music celebrities develop a tendency to sin against their body, through excessive drug use, for not measuring up to or to satisfy the demands of their music. Any earthly joy they experience is darkened by the heavy burden of performing and the loss of privacy. The end users of their music become fans because the lyrics are relatable and the sound of the singer’s voice & rhythm helps them cope with the pains of this reality. Unfortunately, this band aid approach is only a time out from the hurt and in the meantime we are fortifying its wall with painful memories waiting in line. Who can save us from wounds that are silent, wordless and cruel all the while tearing us apart inch by inch on the inside, which could radically accelerate the demise of the human body? I will use caps as emphasis to show the honest reverence for GOD'S SOVEREIGNTY when writing about HEAVENLY music in the paragraphs below. That INVINCIBLE DIVINE be our HEAVENLY FATHER, WHO THROUGH HIS SON’S MISSION HAS INSPIRED believers to write songs that sing of HIS LIFE GIVING LOVE to deal with emotional & physical pain, economic instability, mortality and the emotional instability of others with the motive of winning over souls for HIS KINGDOM. The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

Nothing like... You're massively wrong. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. (Leviticus 25:44-46) "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property." (Exodus 21:20-21)

Flawed argument.... In the Bible God condoned and permitted slavery... He even gave rules in detail.... If anyone should be beyond cultural confines it's God... Especially if he can give rules and condemn a host of other things as sin... He could've done the same for slavery... Yet nowhere is slavery condemned by God or Jesus in the Bible and it's in fact the opposite. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. (Leviticus 25:44-46) "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21)

The flaw with this notion is that slaves are considered property of their masters in the Bible.... Not "neighbors"... You won't ever hear dishonest apologists like the ones featured in this video talk about these verses though. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way." (Leviticus 25:44-46) "When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property." (Exodus 21:20-21)

@@Hieiman I don't follow the Bible. I live by Jesus' teaching which is not always accurate in the Bible/

Wrong... Kidnapping isn't slavery... There's separate rules for kidnapping and there's separate rules for slavery. The slavery in the Bible isn't simply indentured servitude... You're only talking about one of the kinds of slavery permitted. God literally permits and condones enslaving people against their will and for their lives to be property passed down as inheritance. "You may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way.

@@jacobfield4848 You lack reading comprehension... It literally says you can treat them as property and pass them down to your children as PERMANENT inheritance.... They literally don't have a choice... It also says you can beat them without punishment as long as you don't directly kill them.

@@jacobfield4848 And in reference to the Hebrew "bondservants".... who can be enslaved 6 years.... This is also terrible in another way. "If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6) So a Hebrew can walk free, but his wife and kids will remain the property of his master... If he wants to stay with them, then he has to become a slave for life... Of course this and many other verses condoning and permitting slavery won't be mentioned by disingenuous apologists.

The melody & theme of HEAVENLY music is hateful and intolerable to the devil, a spirit which causes us to be blinded of the effects of sin and is responsible for the woes of this world such as melancholy, anguish, tribulation and trial. These agitations of the soul create a heavy burden for the lost and could lead him or her to be hostile of songs that sing about GOD’S GLORY. This makes it clear that we cannot win the spiritual battle by our own strength. Moreover, on earth the devil has no equal. GOD has provided us with the ONE WHO CAN AND WILL LIFT the heavy burden of sin's guilt from a given sinner's heart if he or she (through faith) would open their understanding to Psalms (starting with the focus on Psalms 51:1-10 KJV), and hymns/songs giving praise to HIM for the purpose of being persuaded, converted and healed by the HOLY SPIRIT from within by transforming your body/temple into a meeting place for you and the KING OF THE AGES to commune as friends through the born again experience (repentance manifesting itself in a changed life). It is only here that the fears of tomorrow will diminish, the blessed assurance is given that you are HIS and HE LIVES. Once the blessed assurance is known in prayer (through the confession of wanting salvation from one’s sinful nature, combine with admitting that JESUS CHRIST is LORD and believing in one’s heart that GOD raised HIM from the dead to deliver us from sin's guilt) the world can never take it away because the world didn’t give it to you.

My OPINION from what I understand God has shown me through the Bible. The Old Testament is full of situations for the future generations to look back on to REMEMBER. Habakkuk is a good book which shows that God warned His people to stop worshiping idols. In Habakkuk 1:6, God raised up the Chaldeans to enslave His people because of their disobedience. Chattel slavery shows our life as sinners, slaves to sin, and is contrasted by the bond-servant who willing submitted to his master(God). Paul refers to himself as a bond-servant of Christ Jesus (Romans 1:1, Philippians 1:1, Titus 1:1). This is the life of a truly repentant, regenerative, God-fearing Christian who has freedom from sin through salvation in Christ Jesus, therefore, a obedient servant of the LORD. Just my thoughts on a possible spiritual meaning and difference between the two kinds of slavery. Philippians 2:7 describes Christ, "But emptied Himself taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men." Also see Revelation 7:3, 11:18. I am not condoning anything except the sovereignty of GOD. Peace to you.

@@yourwayoryahwehtestedbyfir681 Yes, I've listened to your video before. There are frankly better arguments to be made than yours. Especially when you're a young earth creationist. People should no more debate you than they should Ken Ham. You're an example of why people are leaving the faith frankly. You're way to dismissive, insulting and combative. Something I try and avoid and turns most people off. My opinion only.

@@susanadams5935 if i understood your point, i think you are getting at prescriptive vs descriptive texts. polygamy, for example, is in the bible and ppl use that to say God is ok with it. but describing that it happened (descriptive) does not imply that it should happen or should've (prescriptive). i'd have to dig into the text on this subject specifically to be sure, but this is probably true of slavery.

addendum: no Scriptural references were given in section on 'slavery.' Alisa mentions 'the abolitions' as an example of eradicating. HISTORICAL FACT: Abolitionists were great proponents of the "Social Gospel" (ie, change society 1st (instead of the person 1st). They immigrated to the northern states after the failed Marxist revolutions in Europe in 1848. They had the atheist abraham linclown (whose friend was Karl Marx) end slavery 'by government decree.' Then when the slaves were freed they were NOT PROVIDED FOR. This is totally inhuman and demonic. During the WAR (1860-65) the SOUTH fought for the maintenance of CHRISTIANITY. (Reference: "Time on the Cross, Engel & Fogelman (1974) " for the truth of Southern slavery. The tbm teachers are not Scriptural and not aware of history. They gave no Scriptural references; Alisa saying 'we believe' instead. This automatically nullifies anything after. As well, why is she in a co-teaching position? This goes again against Scripture. Just another example of the 'great falling away of the church' which JESUS said would occur in the last days. A-Solo Scriptura (Scripture interprets Scripture) and b-always IN CONTEXT.

God made you so yes, he deserves for us to give him our complete loyalty.

Well written. The problem, is that Cristians like Kirk ans Alisa are unable to admit immorality of the biblical slavery. They glorify the institution in the bible and condem the chattel slavery in the USA despite in both cases the regulations by law are identical in many cases.

In Exodus 21:8 it says if the master finds her displeasing she is to be redeemed. When we put our faith in Christ as payment for our sins, He redeems us too. We then become His bond servant and gladly so because we love Him so much! God did not forbid slavery. You seem to be well aware of His instruction regarding slavery. Men are evil. God knows the evil that is in our heart. He knows we will sin against Him and against each other. That’s why He gave us the law in the Old Testament. It was to help us see how completely unable we are to ever be good or righteous. He tells us our righteousness is as filthy rags. (Isaiah 64:6). The Bible says all cowardly, unbelieving, sexually immoral, liars, isolators, etc., will have their part in the lake of fire which is the second death. (Rev 21:8). The good news is that God, in the flesh (John1:14) came to this earth and paid the price for our sin. All those who believe in Him (what he did for us) will not perish but have eternal life with Him. (John 3:16). Salvation is found in no other name under heaven. (Acts 4:12). God has saved those who believe in Him and called us to live a holy life- not because of anything we earn but because of His grace. 2 Tim 1:9. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Acts 2:21). I pray you will understand and know our glorious Lord!

@@RaptureReadyPam Why would a God ever allow someone to own another person as there propetry? This is an immoral act and you can song and dance around it all you want it will not help.Lets look at the Scripture and what it tell us: However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT) If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT) When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT) When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB) Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT) Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT) The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. “But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

@@Bugsy0333 I can sure understand that you would feel I’m trying to song and dance around the fact that God allowed Israelites to purchase foreign slaves permanently. I also understand that you are thinking about the awful way Americans kidnapped people from Africa, justifying it because they thought they were an Inferior race. Slavery in Biblical times, I’m sure was equally brutal from the Romans. However, slaves during the time Israel was given this law was generally for economic purposes-both for foreigners and Israelis. You asked me why God would allow one person to own another. I can’t answer other than to tell you that everything we read in God’s Word is about redemption. Even through slavery God created rules to protect slaves, yet allow them a way to live if their circumstances were too impoverished. Always remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God redeemed you from your slavery. That is why I have given you this command. When you are harvesting your crops and forget to bring in a bundle of grain from your field, don’t go back to get it. Leave it for the foreigners, orphans, and widows. Then the LORD your God will bless you in all you do. (Deuteronomy 24:18-19) Exodus 21:27 And if a man knocks out the tooth of his male or female slave, he must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth. (Exodus 21:27) If a slave has taken refuge with you, do not hand them over to their master. 16 Let them live among you wherever they like and in whatever town they choose. Do not oppress them. (Deuteronomy 24:15-16) For the law was not intended for people who do what is right. It is for people who are lawless and rebellious, who are ungodly and sinful, who consider nothing sacred and defile what is holy, who kill their father or mother or commit other murders. The law is for people who are sexually immoral, or who practice homosexuality, or are slave traders, liars, promise breakers, or who do anything else that contradicts the wholesome teaching (1 Timothy 1:9-10) The Greek word for slave traders was kidnappers. Israel was not allowed to kidnap people like we did in our nation. When we can see ourselves, our true sin nature, we realize that we all need to be redeemed. The scripture above says the law was not intended for those who do right. When we look inside ourselves we realize none of us do right. (Romans 3:10, psalm 14:1-3). The law reveals how much we sin and fall short of the glory of God. Do you lie, steal, lust, blasphemy, etc? I would not ask God why He allowed slavery. Humans have always enslaved each other. It still goes on today because we are evil. The better question is why did God come to earth in the most humble circumstances, and give His life paying the price for our sin? Everything on this earth dies. Atheists are concerned that our earth is in danger? Why? The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. (Romans 6:23). God bless you Mike.

Right, fundamental Christian so often only focus on the regulations for Hebrew slaves. They very often neglect the regulations for non-Hebrew slaves. They call chattel slavery immoral but the god of the bible allows exactly this. BTW, the USA forbid the import of slaves in 1807. The bible never did such a thing. Here are some regulations that protected slaves in the states: Many of them are on the same lvel as the regulation for slaves in the bible: "And also be in enacted, by the authority aforesaid, and it is hereby enacted, That all masters and owners of servants, shall find and provide for their servants, wholesome and competent diet, clothing, and lodging, by the discretion of the county court; and shall not, at any time, give immoderate correction;.." Virginia: an-act-concerning-servants-and-slaves-1705 “Any person who shall maliciously dismember or deprive a slave of life shall suffer such punishment as would be inflicted in case the like offence had been committed on a free white person, and on the like proof, except in case of insurrection by such slave, and unless such death should happen by accident in giving such slave moderate correction.” Morris, Thomas D.. Southern Slavery and the Law, 1619-1860 (Studies in Legal History) (S.172). The University of North Carolina Press. Kindle-Version. Black Code of Lousiana (1806): SEC. 1. Slaves shall have free enjoyment of Sundays, and shall be paid fifty cents a day, or its customary equivalent, for their labor when employed by the free inhabitants - provided this privilege shall not be extended to slaves employed as servants, carriage drivers, hospital waiters, or in carrying provisions to market. SEC. 2. Every owner shall give to each of his slaves one barrel of Indian corn, or its equivalent, in rice, beans, or other grain, and one pint of salt, in kind, every month, under a penalty of a fine of ten dollars for every offence against this provision. ... SEC. 5. It shall be the duty of the master to procure for his sick slaves all kinds of temporal and spiritual assistance which their situation may demand. ... SEC. 33. If any slave, lawfully employed, shall be beaten by any person without cause or lawful authority, the person so offending shall pay for every such offence a fine of ten dollars; and if the slave so beaten shall be mutilated or rendered incapable of working, the offender shall pay the master two dollars a day, besides the fine. And if the slave be forever rendered unable to work, the offender shall pay the master the appraised value of the slave, or be forever maintained at the expense of the offending party; but if the offender shall not be able to pay the said fine, &c., then he shall be imprisoned for not less than one month, nor more than a year. As you can see the slaves were wel protected by US law.
