Oldtimer said:So does the Bible-- which is full of passages of how to take care of slaves....hypocritexposer said:the Quran allows them to take slave girls...
The old slave holders used to quote all the many verses as their justification for owning slaves...
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
So since its in the Bible does that mean all Christians practice slavery . :???: :roll:
Since it says foreigners can be purchased as slaves does that mean I can go purchase a couple of Canucks :???: :wink::lol:
“If a countryman of yours becomes so poor with regard to you that he sells himself to you, you shall not subject him to a slave’s service. He shall be with you as a hired man, as if he were a sojourner; he shall serve with you until the year of jubilee. He shall then go out from you, he and his sons with him, and shall go back to his family, that he may return to the property of his forefathers. For they are My servants whom I brought out from the land of Egypt; they are not to be sold in a slave sale. You shall not rule over him with severity, but are to revere your God.”
