Please tell me you’re not this retarded. Do you really think ^this qualifies as a proper defense against the Bible endorsing slavery when it flat out says it’s okay to own slaves?
It doesn't condone slavery!!! The Holy Bible makes it quite clear that we are all children of the Heavenly Father, and thereby should treat one another with dignity!!!!
Dignity apparently includes owning people for life and beating them as long as they don't die within a day.
Biblical morality:
EXODUS 21 “1 Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. 2 When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. 3 If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. 5 But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ 6 then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.
20 “If a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod and he dies at his hand, he shall be punished. 21 If, however, he survives a day or two, no vengeance shall be taken; for he is his property.
LEVITICUS 25 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.
1 PETER 2 18 Slaves, in reverent fear of God submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. 19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God.

Yes, & as I already posted to you in another thread, the slave had the option of staying or leave his/her master, something that was not an option in Babylon, & probably not in the USA either.

Yes, and as I replied to you in that thread...NO HE FUCKING DIDN’T! And even if he had, that doesn’t demonstrate that provisions that allow humans to own other humans are moral. The passages above clearly endorse slavery, which you denied.

Because Exodus ITSELF is one big condemnation of slavery!!!!

Sorry, but that is just false! At no point anywhere in the entire bible (to include the book of Exodus) is slavery as an institution EVER once denounced or condemned by God. So this is just a false assertion demonstrating a complete ignorance of what it actually says.
Education. The reason will be self evident, when you read it.
Reading religious propaganda and/or apologetic does not qualify as "education". You know what qualifies as education? History (including biblical history) - of which I am quite versed in. And it is self-evident upon achieving a certain level of education and logical application of such knowledge that the bible condones slavery.

Then you haven't been paying attention to what happened in the Book of Exodus. God Reigned down plague after plague on the Egyptians for their holding the Children of Israel in Bondage. God Condemns it right then & there!!!!!

Once again the topic is not strong enough to support itself lol.
I agree that the topic is very broad, and Captain Bryce himself said he should/could have qualified it to mean African American slaves, however I think that there are definite points being made that black African American slaves
1. Had little choice in their choice of religion, having been uprooted from friend family and their own 'religion'. 2. Over time it became their greatest comfort, so it is natural that their 'conversion' passed down the generations, in one form or another.

The key words are highlighted! The plages were a demonstration/incintive/punishment towards the Egyptians for holding God’s people as slaves, not a provision against slavery as an institution. God didn’t want the Hebrews to be enslaved by other nations. He had no problem with people of other nations to be enslaved by the Hebrews. And he was also cool with Hebrews enslaving other Hebrews in certain circumstances.
Again, read the entire book of Exodus! Your problem is you just decided to stop at chapter 14 thinking that cherry picking only the beginning of Exodus counted as a comprehensive position on slavery; it doesn’t. Because God goes on to give laws about how to own slaves AFTER the Hebrews came out of slavery. He also expands on these laws in Leviticus in such a way that categorically disproves your assertion that condemnation of the Hebrew people being enslaved applies to all slavery.
Leviticus 25:39-45
“If your brother becomes poor beside you and sells himself to you, you shall not make him serve as a slave: he shall be with you as a hired worker and as a sojourner. He shall serve with you until the year of the jubilee. Then he shall go out from you, he and his children with him, and go back to his own clan and return to the possession of his fathers. For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves. You shall not rule over him ruthlessly but shall fear your God. As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property.
The obvious implication is that while Hebrew slaves are not to be treated ruthlessly, slaves of other nations can be. And while Hebrew slaves must be let go after the year of Jubilee (unless their master tricks them into having a wife and kid, in which case their pierce their ear and get to own them for life), non Hebrew slaves can always be owned for life and passed down to children as property. And by the way, the allowance for slaves to go free after Jubilee only applies to male slaves. Female slaves are still owned by the master. And female slaves were for sex!
Exodus 21:1-7 (AFTER the Hebrews were rescued from slavery)
“Now these are the rules that you shall set before them. When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out alone. But if the slave plainly says, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free,’ then his master shall bring him to God, and he shall bring him to the door or the doorpost. And his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever. “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.
So you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about in this regard and you really need to go back and read the Bible again.
