<DIV>First, the Ten Commandants say to "Love your Neighbor". Do you disagree?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>‘“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.’--Jesus—<CITE><A class="external text" title=http://bibref.hebtools.com/?book=%20Matthew&verse=22:34-40&src=NRSV href="http://bibref.hebtools.com/?book=%20Matthew&verse=22:34-40&src=NRSV" rel=nofollow>Matthew 22:34-40</A></CITE></DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Second, Are you arguing that selling someone into slavery and abusing them is not contrary to this law?</DIV>
