[Vision2020] 8 year old girl denied divorce

[Ralph Nielsen]

Donovan,

You do seem to like twisting people's words, don't you? I wrote, "Or,  
as Doug Wilson would put it, Slavery is biblical. I agree with Doug."  
SLAVERY IS BIBLICAL.

Bear and I did not say that we should support slavery because God  
approves of it in the Bible. Doug approves of slavery because it is  
biblical. I strongly disapprove of slavery, whether it is biblical or  
not. Whether God approves of it or not.

As for the KJV, it dishonestly translates the Hebrew word for slave  
as "servant." But do people buy and sell servants? If you sold your  
daughter for a servant, isn't that slavery? Honest translations of  
the Bible call a slave a slave.
