[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LMAO apparently failure to conform with the ideals of 21st century progressivism is the new standard of "morality".

Hint: if the Bible and your ideology are at odds over morality, it is not the Bible that's immoral.[/quote]

Thinking slavery is immoral is "21st century progressivism"?

[b]Hint: The bible condones slavery.  The bible is immoral.[/b][/quote]

People in the Bible engaged in slavery (as did people in many parts of the world).  The fact it is reported in the Bible doesn't make the Bible immoral.  I'm glad we have the Bible to see how the ancient civilizations in that part of the world conducted their lives.  [/quote]

It's not "reported" in the bible.  It is condoned, and the biblical rules for slavery are listed, as evidenced in the OP.

Please note the rules could have simply been "don't own other people".[/quote]

Fine. You're too simple-minded to understand this.  The Bible doesn't "condone" anything.  People in the Bible engaged in this behavior.  They acted in an immoral way.  The authors are telling this story.  You can blame the people who did these things, but the book in which you find the stories isn't in itself immoral.   Perhaps too fine a distinction for you.[/quote]

"When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

Clear instructions and rules, just like commandments.  Not even debatable.[/quote]
