the bible could very well have justified slavery too

2018-09-27 15:04:22 UTC  

the modern church has an interpretation of the Bible

2018-09-27 15:04:29 UTC  

that goes against slavery

2018-09-27 15:04:38 UTC  

it does anyways

2018-09-27 15:04:49 UTC  

not really

2018-09-27 15:04:55 UTC  

look back 80 years

2018-09-27 15:04:56 UTC  

again it's an interpretation

2018-09-27 15:05:07 UTC  

yes of course

2018-09-27 15:05:07 UTC  

if you go by its fundamental and literal sense

2018-09-27 15:05:16 UTC  

you could find all sorts of justifications

2018-09-27 15:05:25 UTC  

not really

2018-09-27 15:05:43 UTC  

it's like reading the law codes of ancient hebrews from an history book

2018-09-27 15:05:47 UTC  

yes really

2018-09-27 15:06:09 UTC  

Bible is historically accurate?

2018-09-27 15:06:15 UTC  

well if it's just law codes of ancient hebrew times, then it belongs in the annals of history

2018-09-27 15:06:29 UTC  

the Bible is pretty historically accurate

2018-09-27 15:06:37 UTC  

also correct

2018-09-27 15:06:40 UTC  

it can hardly be justified as religious literature

2018-09-27 15:06:45 UTC  

true indeed

2018-09-27 15:06:51 UTC  

which is applicable in modern times

2018-09-27 15:07:21 UTC  

true

2018-09-27 15:07:24 UTC  

and it is

2018-09-27 15:07:30 UTC  

im not sure about the "pretty historically accurate" bit though

2018-09-27 15:07:49 UTC  

idk enough about history for that

2018-09-27 15:07:56 UTC  

there are a bit of incomprehensions due to the poor tralsation

2018-09-27 15:08:02 UTC  

yes there are some evidences backed by archaeology

2018-09-27 15:08:15 UTC  

but it isn't majorly qualified to say be a historical source for example

2018-09-27 15:08:16 UTC  

Genesis is poorly translated

2018-09-27 15:08:26 UTC  

the word used for days in the creation doesn't mean day

2018-09-27 15:08:30 UTC  

it can mean era aswell

2018-09-27 15:08:32 UTC  

genesis

2018-09-27 15:08:53 UTC  

isn't the genesis creation story borrowed from the babylonian creation myth

2018-09-27 15:09:02 UTC  

the bible isnt historically accurate at all

2018-09-27 15:09:04 UTC  

and from some other creation stories of that time?

2018-09-27 15:09:11 UTC  

sure they are

2018-09-27 15:09:20 UTC  

most stories of the Bible are taken by nearby cultures

2018-09-27 15:09:27 UTC  

that's why I said "pretty accurate"

2018-09-27 15:09:27 UTC  

yeah

2018-09-27 15:09:33 UTC  

not completely

2018-09-27 15:09:37 UTC  

id say it's hardly accurate tbh

2018-09-27 15:09:41 UTC  

not even pretty
