Revision as of 10:48, March 22, 2007
Why is there no reference to Biblical slavery apart from the captivity of the Jews in Egypt? I know that the enslavement of others by the Jews is controversial (in that the Bible doesn't seem to "condemn" the practice, but I'm sure there are good reasons why either I'm wrong in that or for God's overlooking the practice.
In any event, it is a debate I often have with moral relativists and I was hoping to find something about it here in my own (Christan) people.
- I agree completely. I have posted several Biblical references. CEinhorn 01:55, 13 March 2007 (EDT)
"ancient Egypt, where Hebrews were slaves."
There's absolutely no historical evidence for this outside of Exodus.
- The book of Philemon is a record of Paul sending a slave back to his master "no longer as a slave but more than a slave-- a beloved brother." (Philemon 1: 16) --~ TerryK Talk2Me! 23:54, 21 March 2007 (EDT)
Abomination
Can't anyone fix this page? --~ Terry Talk2Me! 18:17, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
Is this a joke?
I mean. Nothing is cited. And the whole thing is a big, fallacious argument in favor of slavery. - User:Moriarty
- Did you not see my note, about your post? If you think you are up to it, fix it! That is what a Wiki is for. --~ SysopTK Talk2Me! 21:01, 20 March 2007 (EDT)
