Well we are slaves to Christ so really it would be hypocritical to denounce it.

The Bible doesn’t explicitly condemn it and Atheist morons use that to say that Christianity supports slavery.

Really? Here’s Levictus 25: 44-46: 44 “‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly

Here’s Exodus: 20 “Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property.

So according to the Bible, I can beat and torture my slave as much as I want as long as they do not die, which is my property, and I am the slave master.

So why doesn’t the Bible condemn slavery? Humans owning other humans.

Exodus 21:16: "Whoever steals a man and sells him, and anyone found in possession of him, shall be put to death." 1 Timothy 1:9–10: In the New Testament, the Greek word andrapodistēs (often translated as "slave traders" or "men-stealers") is listed among those who are "lawless and disobedient," placing them alongside murderers and liars

Let me ask, is it ever good to own people as property without consent, or tell others to own people as property without those people’s consent?

So why does Exodus 21 say I can beat my slaves as long as they don’t die within 1-2 days? Why does Exodus 21 say that the slave is property?

because the Bible contains both regulations for an existing system and principles that eventually led to its dismantling.

None of this was a quote from the passage I asked so I’ll do it for you. The children remain property of the master, can you consent to being a slave if you’re born into it?

You’re not understanding that the Old Testament is not what Christians follow. Jesus came and died as the perfect sacrifice and laid a new set of principles to live by.

And yet God regulated slavery? Which means he condones and endorses slavery.

I did answer actually.

God wasn’t the one who regulated the system, the scripture you quoted was an outline of the system that was already in place, made by humans because humans had been corrupted by sin. God then speaks and tells us that slavery is immoral. Context matters.

The book of Exodus is literally about the Israelites being freed from slavery in Egypt.

Anonymous #6 1d

It’s telling a story and not every line is God speaking and telling you what to believe, you’ve gotta read what’s going on.

Anonymous OP 1d

So Exodus is about the Israelites being freed from this treatment, this is included to give you context to how Gods people were being treated in Egypt. It’s not a command from Him, as your photo states it is “A law regarding Hebrew Servitude” so this is likely a law that was in place in Egypt. God later tells us that no man should be a slave, neither Jew nor Gentile Rich or Poor, so he is telling you that these laws are WRONG!!

also the very next verses (Exodus 21:5-6) provide a way for the family to stay together, the "Ear Boring" ceremony, where the man chooses to stay out of love.

I think you’re fitting at the wrong ppl here because Christians don’t follow any of this because of Jesus. There is another religion that follows the Old Testement they call it the Torah and it’s a core part of their beliefs.

what kind of jump to a conclusion is saying that regulating = endorses? If a president were for regulate Alcohol use and make the legal age 30 would you say they endorse and condone it or would you say they are against it?

Anonymous #6 1d

Oh I see, so God said it to a separate group of people so it no longer matters? That’s still not an answer by the way. Why is the question about consent so hard?

Anonymous #6 1d

I asked if you can consent to being a slave if you’re born into it. I didn’t ask if God regulated slavery, which he would still have to somewhat permit if he did, I didn’t ask about how christians pretend they were the only group fighting to end slavery when there’s letters from christian’s advocating for it Answer what I asked

I didn’t ask if consent is given by another party. Yes or no can you consent into being a slave if you are born into it? Slave is the word used in multiple translations btw, facts over feelings type thing
