There was a lot of indentured slavery in those days. Indentured slavery was basically an alternative to homelessness; it was a way of providing for your family when you ran out of the means to afford your own room and board. These slaves had to be released in the Year of Jubilee, Unless the slaves themselves chose otherwise

Read Leviticus 25:39-43

It condones slavery

Doesn't mean you have to own slaves

It does not. Which verse?

@Draco so it endorses it?

Condones means sanction. It does not endorse slavery

The only verse that could be read in this way -
Ephesians 6:5

theres also this interesting verse

Slaves, Obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ (Ephesians 6:5 NLT )

Which only endorses authority

but no, i.e i dont think the bible endorses slavery

If you are a slave, you must obey, is different than keeping slaves is ok

It is like one should obey laws does not mean that laws are just

Or they should not be changed in due time

Paul wished Philemon would release Onesimus from bondage and embrace him as a brother in Christ

You should get BibleBot in here. You just say a verse and it spits it out

Yep, and bots for other religions too. Daddy Anon is slacking in his job. Very bad.

@Draco I'll add biblebot if you remind me tommorow

Ok, sarge

Should religion rolls be a thing?

Can someone explain to me the major and nuanced differences between catholic and orthodox? besides the major obvious differences but rather the major differences people are not readily educated about.

Been thinking of potentially becoming orhtodox the past few years, dont know if I should go down that path because i simply cant seem to fully grasp the differences

islam superior

@Doctor Anon you said my religion condones violence

LOL

@Muhammad Al-Tajir We have a common enemy, let's fight side by side

^^

@Muhammad Al-Tajir They have battled us for too long, it's time to claim the right to self defense.

Now you're contradicting yourself.

@Doctor Anon Bible Bot, Sargeant

@Vilhelmsson tell me something I said that isn't

@Doctor Anon that verse is not about arming the disciples for combat

They didn't use the swords

It's for self defense

It's not

It is

It's literally Jesus telling his disciples to get swords after Passover at the last supper

He rebukes them for thinking about combat

He tells them not to fight back for one instance
