It matters because it was never God's Will for people to be given into slavery. Yet, He Knew that humanity were too stubborn to treat one another another equally & fairly. So, He PERMITTED it, but, Gave Laws that they should be treated humanely. Then in the New Testament, St. Paul urges Philemon to receive back a runaway slave as a friend, & not as a slave, because he knows that God Does not Will for there to be slaves.This is not written in the epistle to Philemon. It is purely a fantasy of Christian apologists. The purpose of sexual intercourse is for procreation. Says who? Not the 10 Commandments. You continue to misinterpret what the Holy Bible teaches, & I correct you. Correction: You continue to interpret the Bible as an apologist. The fact that the Bible can be interpreted differently shows that it's a questionable foundation for ethics. St. Paul urges Philemon to take Onesimus to receive him back as a friend & not a slave. Hence, slavery is wrong, according to the overall message of the Holy Bible. God Says so in Genesis chapter 9, verse 7. It is only questionable for ethics for those who have very poor ethics. |
