the holy spirit is able to teach different things from the same scripture

the bible doesnt condone slavery

if the holy spirit leads you to believe something, it should line up with the entire bible

the bible says if youre a slave, be a good slave

but if freedom is possible, seek it

you know about american slaves do you?

did you know more white people died to free black slaves than there were black slaves total in america

and whites were slaves

christians

wait no longer =]

prove it, go back to history

yes whites were slaves

You cant handle the truth

its ok its part of healing

i didnt shift a goal post, someone mentioned slaves in america

do you think im too silly to understand things?

i apperciate you trying to help\

no, i think its nice to talk to some caring people

If i remember right the hebrews started as indentured servants that became dependant on the egyptians

there were black slave owners

just pointing that out

o i thouight this was a race thing

where is your next piece moving to?

linguistic chess =]

if you only use eisogesis, its possible to get a false understanding of scripture

eisogesis is like taking youre ideas and bouncing them off of scriptures

eisogesis should line up with exegesis

slavery is not okay

support slavery with the bible for me

id like to see

i minister to inmates in jail each sunday

i can try to help with what i can

i see it say "if"

i dont see that as condoning slavery

differently than most it seems

also to consider is the old testament is a record of covenants with his people

each covenant had different rules

again if

its not supporting slavery

[1 Corinthians 7:21]

is there a 3rd choice?

like understanding differently than you

i could admit i was wrong if i was wrong

but im not

thats not a true statement

i love you

try to be happy

you keep saying that

you guys really should read the bible more to pose better arguements atleast

[Romans 6:16]

it doesnt help my arguement, seemingly to you, i provided ammunition for you

the bible is full of contention, you need the Holy Spirit to discern for you

[Matthew 13:13]

are you projecting?

sure, ppl can understand just about anything wrongly

no, people can be corrupted

do you accuse me of twisting?

people know the bible is looked at by many as the highest form of truth, so some will kinda try to tailor specific verses to agree with them so they can seem more right

[1 John 2:27]

i didnt say people were right for trying to make the bible fit their narrative

indeed

the word of God is alive though

saying it only means 1 thing seems kinda limiting

every1 has a very personal walk with Jesus

[1 John 2:27]

what bothers you about buying slaves?

what if you wanted to marry my daughter and agreed to work for me until i said it was ok

you would be my servnt for a period of time

well i would probably let you have a living quarters

a few meals

what if i caught you stealing and wanted you to work it off ?

terms like slave and servant were mixed

some would call slaves servants

some servants were slaves

no im not saying its okay

its aquestion meant to gather more understanding

i go into jails to minister not to mistreat

i share the word of God with inmates who want to know about Jesus

someone said i mistreat the inmates or something

i was redefining my position

slaves seems to be the ongoing theme

if you use eisogesis without exegesis, yes, you can gather a false idea

bro, the rabbit hole is pretty deep

sounds the alars =]

alarms

eisogesis is like bouncing ideas off verses to gather meaning, exegesis is understanding scripture as it is written and the culture it was written to, and the original meaning

both are important

i believe the way i understand the bible fits exegetically

i believe the bible, as its written, and as the holy spirit leads me

again, eisogesis should be in line with exegesis

you dont understand so it cant be, is that your arguement?

i said before everyone has a very personal relationship with Jesus Christ

[1 John 2:27]

[1 peter 3:18]

does that have more than 1 meaning?

good answer

You need the holy spirit living inside of you to teach you

i love you and i greatly appreciate your interest

[2 Corinthians 5:21]

Right, Jesus paid the price for sin, so that by simply putting our faith in Jesus we can be reunited with the Father of spirits.
