Slavery Scriptures
The argument that slavery is not chattel slavery in the Bible is a lie. There are plenty of scriptures which state a slave is not always a servant , but PROPERTY (Chattel Slavery)
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)
The following passage describes how the Hebrew slaves are to be treated.
If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, ‘I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.’ If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)
Notice how they can get a male Hebrew slave to become a permanent slave by keeping his wife and children hostage until he says he wants to become a permanent slave. What kind of family values are these?
The following passage describes the sickening practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave?
Of you sell your daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl’s owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)So these are the Bible family values! A man can buy as many sex slaves as he wants as long as he feeds them, clothes them, and has sex with them!
What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don’t die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing
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)
You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.
Jesus
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them. (1 Timothy 6:1-2 NLT)
God Assists Rape and Plunder (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
Lo, a day shall come for the Lord when the spoils shall be divided in your midst. And I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem for battle: the city shall be taken, houses plundered, women ravished; half of the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be removed from the city. (Zechariah 14:1-2 NAB)
5) Death to the Rape Victim (Deuteronomy 22:23-24 NAB)
If within the city a man comes upon a maiden who is betrothed, and has relations with her, you shall bring them both out of the gate of the city and there stone them to death: the girl because she did not cry out for help though she was in the city, and the man because he violated his neighbors wife.
More Slavery
In the following parable, Jesus clearly approves of beating slaves even if they didn’t know they were doing anything wrong.
The servant will be severely punished, for though he knew his duty, he refused to do it. “But people who are not aware that they are doing wrong will be punished only lightly. Much is required from those to whom much is given, and much more is required from those to whom much more is given.” (Luke 12:47-48 NLT)

I'm a firm believer 100% the problem is churches. I attended churches week after week,grew up in church. Church is becoming more about larger congregation,choir competitions,even frat and soror promotion. Bible isn't being taught like it use to be. Back in day growing up the people in church were role models you had respect for pastor,minister. These days ministers are worldy just want to have a title instead of actually helping you in your relationship with God. Even I as a Christian I do see why people have issues with church and don't go

What Jesus was (whether he existed, was a concept, historical amalgam, archetype - whatever) and what he was turned into are two totally different things and I'm not just talking about the whitewashing.
The guys thoughts and ethic were revolutionary in the extreme and he was all about speaking truth to power to liberate the oppressed from their mental slavery but through time all of that got twisted so people don't even get the message of empowerment and are kept in a weakened state.
The entire Bible - and all religious texts - are written in encoded, symbolic language that was never meant to be deciphered by the profane who accept ridiculous exoteric explanations for the content because of their ignorance and badly placed generational faith.

No but it’s ignorant to say that Christianity is the white mans religion.

You crazy for that
Theres a million religions and they all believe that shyt
But "ours is right".
So the people who aint from a christian culture going to hell cause they werent informed. But yet Christians have committed atrocities for years.
The whole religion was used politically as a justification for colonialism. "Bringing light to the savages", just to enslave them, rape and pillage their villages.
Im going to be real with you.... I don't care how moral a religion is.... once its been used, and used and used to enslave, it loses its power. Thats why young people don't fukk with Christianity no more.
I live in the real world, where politics and economics can destabilize meanings. Hitler used an ancient Hindu symbol as the swastika, and now that shyt contains unspeakable evil in its image.
That's why Islam is brilliant.... they strayed from image worship so that their message could never be tainted
But Christianity been heavy on image worship from White Jesus to crosses on lawns
Yall lost the fukking battle. Shouldn't have let white supremacist empire co-opt the religion into rape and murder.. Don't @ me, Ive written a plethora of college papers on this subject.

Yeah. I just feel like its been twisted so much that its lost most of its meaning. Thats why young people don't subscribe to religion. Jesus only lived for 60 years to spread his message. The roman empire, and then western colonial empires disseminated their own distorted meanings of Christianity for 1600 years. That 60 years ain't standing up to that 1600. If anything, Jesus message was so peaceful that it allowed governments to promote passivity and subjegate the masses. That's where I lose respect for Christianity.
He said a lot of things, but he never said "Don't let the wicked enslave you."
His message was more like "Let them have this world, you got the next"
This world is the only one that exists for certain. fukk I look like hedging my bet?
