[Vision2020] 8 year old girl denied divorce

[Donovan Arnold]

Ralph,
 
What is your point? 
 
God isn't for slavery or people owning people, or abuse of people. No where does He say they should. That is my point. 
 
Ownership of people for work and services was how the economy worked thousands of years ago, but it doesn't mean that God condoned abuse and misuse of people, He doesn't. 
 
Best Regards,
 
Donovan

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.




Ralph
