Exactly right. Biblical "slavery" to pay off a debt to the VICTIM is a far better system of justice than incarcerating MILLIONS for a time which accomplishes NOTHING but to harden criminals and make them an unemployable class.The Bible often referred to slavery as an accepted norm, a class thing.Slave holding was never right and cannot be rationalized by anyone with a shred of morality.Including Maryland slave owners during the civil war?Whataboutism indicates a moral equivalence and therefore no criticism is dismissible. It also does not excuse the actions of slave holding traitors.With all the opportunities and necessities to actually lead, Trump is staking his election and legacy to saving confederate statues and calling Black Libes Matter a symbol of hate. And you idiots are applauding him.
Do you think this is a winning platform in 2020? Can his stance persuade?
BLM is a hate group. They are wrecking havoc----death and destruction in
my city out of "LOVE"? As to saving statues----I am all for it. Destruction of
art is what fascists do MLK committed adultery------should streets and parks and art devoted to him be smeared with dog shit? Malcolm X was a pimp. There is all kinds of stuff named for that dirty pimp in my town. There are lots of politicos prostituting themselves to the filth of BLM to the detriment of the entire city's population. The police department has been weakened in order to aid the filth of BLM. Of course the real issue is POPULIST POLITICS------BREAD AND CIRCUSES -----buy the gutter votes
Doesn’t make it right at all.
But intentionally excluding context per slavery for the purpose of a narrative is worse than excusing slavery itself.
depends on which bible. The slavery described in the OT was more like bonded servitude----limited to seven years. The slavery to which St Paul referred was the roman form----chattel slavery. -----there were some permutations. In the OT it was definitely not a "class" thing---ie ---there was no slave class
