The bible endorses slavery, shall we still allow it? In fact it gives instructions about who to enslave, "“And when the Lord thy God hath delivered [a city] into thine hands, thou shalt smite every male thereof with the edge of the sword: But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even the spoil thereof, shalt thou take unto thyself; and thou shalt eat the spoil of thine enemies, which the Lord thy God hath given thee” (Deuteronomy 20:13-14)." Maybe to pay for that horrible invasion, Dubya should sell off the Iraqui women and children. That paragraph sure allows it. You can bet your house that there are some who would love to buy a pretty eight year old Iraqui kid. No, I haven't read the entire Bible but I have read enough of it to know it is merely a guide and not a book of laws. Click the link for find more about the Bible and slavery. By the way, for breakfast I ate bacon and eggs. As I recall, the Bible prohibits me from doing that. Too bad, am I going to Hell? I think more of God then to suggest he is some petty tyrant and will send me to Hell for eating Porky Pig. I conduct myself in accordance with the golden rule. http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0401/answers.html |
