[Vision2020] 8 year old girl denied divorce

[Ralph Nielsen]

Donovan,

God never said slavery is fair and just. He just said what I have  
quoted below. Check your own Bible if you don't believe me.

Wives, children and slaves are a man's property. And according the to  
the last of the Ten in Exodus 20 you  may not covet them.

Are you judging God?

Ralph



Ralph,

Again, you fail to address my point.

Nowhere in the Bible does it say slavery is just or fair in the eyes  
of God. These are only laws protecting slaves and protecting people  
from slavery.

You are not able to produce a sentence where God says, Slavery and  
abuse of slaves is good and of God.

Slavery is a man made invention, and its abuse was regulated by the  
Bible, not commanded by it.

Best Regards,

Donovan

This is what God said,



Exodus 21:2
When you buy a Hebrew slave, he shall serve six years, and in the  
seventh he shall go out free, for nothing.
Exodus 21:7

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the  
male slaves do.
Exodus 21:20

When a man strikes his slave, male or female, with a rod and the  
slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished.
Exodus 21:21
But if the slave survives a day or two, he is not to be punished; for  
the slave is his money.


Remember, Donovan, I didn't write this, nor am I interpreting it, I  
am just quoting it. If you sell your daughter as a slave, she shall  
remain a slave for the rest of her life. If you breed her, her  
offspring are also your slaves, which you may keep, sell, or bequeath  
to your sons.



Leviticus 25:44
As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy  
male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you.
Leviticus 25:46
You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a  
possession for ever; you may make slaves of them, but over your  
brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another,  
with harshness.


But remember, you may not make your slaves work on Saturdays:



Exodus 20:10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God;  
in it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter,  
your male slave, or your female slave, or your cattle, or the  
sojourner who is within your gates;


Read the Bible carefully, Doug does.
