But the bible does say if somebody does have slave, they should treat them right and the slave should obey their master. Take into consideration the historical aspect. The bible was written during a period when slavery was apart of the society. It also depends on your definition of slavery. The racist American definition of slavery is different from the African version of slavery. American or british slavery were pretty brutal and the slaves were regarded as property that were lesser than humans. Slavery was common in the greek society, the Animistic or any African Society, the roman society, The Egyptian society. In Africa during the 16th century, if you were captured in war with other tribe, you became a slave, but it wasn't cuz of race and people weren't born into to slavery like in the Americas. If u had children, they weren't slaves. Even in the bIible the jews were slaves when they were in Egypt and then they were rescued by Moses, etc.<br />The bible is not given you permission to do it. If the bible says love your neighbor as yourself? then why would you make your neighbor a slave?Tosinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147539673409649021.post-16040878674209099092009-10-13T08:24:14.911-07:002009-10-13T08:24:14.911-07:00Can you please define Sin...............

God is Sovereign and still actively in charge of the affairs of this world, that you find it hard to comprehend His existence and ways is of matter to only you. <br />Have you ever enjoyed the benefit of knowing God is in control and working things out for your good? How about the privilege of praying, asking for something big or small, possible or impossible and knowing God will answer?<br />I benefit a lot from believing in God and holding fast to my faith.<br />I also think you are missing a lot.<br />And about the horrible things God allows to happen, have read about Lazarus and the rich man?

He neither forces you to serve Him nor forsake Him, he gave us all a freedom of choice which includes "the freedom to do evil (sin) or to do good"<br />Enslaving someone is evil if not God would not try to save His enslaved children just like He tries to save His children from sin. Slavery breeds reproach and so does sin and in short it is obvious that SLAVERY IS SIN (i don't want to go into long explanations) and that's certain.<br /><br />But before you go ahead and ask why he let Joseph become enslaved and all...here's a fact i tell people; sometimes, to appreciate and value the SWEET part of life, you have to taste the BITTER part. Now, we are all uniquely different and our personalities are unique to "US" and "US" alone. People learn in different ways...so, who knows...if Joseph had become prime minister without going through some amount of suffering, he may not have been humble and compassionate as he was...it's God's way of preparing a man because HE WILL NEVER TAKE AN UNPREPARED MAN TO A PREPARED PLACE, get it?<br /><br />now i rest my case, bro...LOL!David.фаворит Бога номер-одинhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06067578538270340394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4147539673409649021.post-72579781257887130332009-10-12T16:23:47.272-07:002009-10-12T16:23:47.272-07:00(back)

To understand God (He reveals His ways to those who fear Him) with our reasoning is futile.
