Hahahahahahahaha [size=20] why am i not surprised [/size] grin

ok let me give more new testament examples .. grin

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.

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)


Oya go on and start twisting again as usual... grin
Holy lies..

[size=20] Just say what is wrong is wrong and stop making a shameful show of yourself here with these your desperate attempt to white lie the obvious... boss you guys should be honest for once and call a spade a spade [/size]
The Epistles of St. Paul was not a prophesy or commandment infacte Paul was not a prophet he was a teacher the disciples were only advice to continue the teaching of Jesus christ.but the books in the old testament was a commandment from God and I Gave you many verses were God seth law against slavery.

Paul is teaching obedient to the church,the book did not teaches only about slave but every other aspects of obedient,it is the same thing in the old testament,master has rule that will protect him the same thing goes to slaves,children e.t.c read the whole verse and you will understand the content.

6:5-9 The duty of servants is summed up in one word, obedience. The servants of old were generally slaves. The apostles were to teach servants and masters their duties, in doing which evils

Infacte read what verse 9 say;

9 And masters, treat your slaves in the
same way. Do not threaten them, since
you know that he who is both their
Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.

Parisbookaddict aka Ifeann aka Male aka Female aka Proud Black aka White Woman, does it look like I didn't read the original post

Of course this is your strategy, I know you too well. When your hate post has been adequately discredited, you go into that r*etarded mode, and you start to talk out of context. Despite the fact that I didn't want to chat with you on our last meeting, you kept pestering me, but when I asked you a question that could expose your deceits, you cunningly refused to answer my questions and disappeared (I mean in your other life as Ifeann, before your reincarnation as parisbookaddict ). You begged me to stop quoting you and you came here to do exactly that. Well, God will continue to expose you!

IslamSahih Bukhari Volume 9, Book 83, Number 17:Narrated 'Abdullah:Allah's Apostle said, "The blood of a Muslim who confesses that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that I am His Apostle, cannot be shed except in three cases: In Qisas for murder, a married person who commits illegal sexual intercourse and the one who reverts from Islam (apostate) and leaves the Muslims."Qur'an 3:90-91Lo! those who disbelieve after their (profession of) belief, and afterward grow violent in disbelief: their repentance will not be accepted. And such are those who are astray. Lo! those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul). Theirs will be a painful doom and they will have no helpers.Sahih Bukhari 9:84:57Some Zanadiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali and he burnt them.

What happened? She was actually sent to hell fire by empire where she belonged but she ressurected after Mathew, Mark, Luke and john reincarnated her & transformed her to parisbookaddict. She was not banned because of freedom of expression. She was banned ONLY after empire trashed her religious forefathers. But when she was accusing our prophet she was not banned.

In her world, freedom of speeh is attacking other religion in the name of "knowing everything". She also tried to censored muslims by constantly used the word "lie" "taqqiya" in abscence of proper conterclaims to our refutations. She also lied about reliwayne01.

Remember her primary mission according to her was to teach muslims and lazy christian audience what islam is but she was met with strong resistance before being sent to hell. So mission #1 failed.

Now she's under "addict" seeking only non-muslim audience. Look into her profile. This proved that her first mission failed woefully. Now this second mission will fail too. As you can see on this thread non-muslims fired at her really bad. In another word, SHE IS CRUSHED. If she crosses my line again, my intention is to get non-muslims and her buddies, the fanatics to turn against her. #2ndMISSION FAILED

AFTER THAT SHE WILL BE ALONE. Then I will now completely trash her man-god with 3 heads who supposedly should "all powerful" but his $ss was nailed by fanatic jews on the cross. That's what she wants us to worship. A 3-headed god. That's pure polytheism.

Maybe the message the OP wishes to pass across eludes me because I'm way past my lucid hours. At any rate, there is something terribly wrong if, in the 21st century, you're trying to justify the crude practice of slavery as recorded in the bible.

I have nothing against the people who practiced it in the past. They didn't know better. How could they when their best judgements were informed by tools that were limited to perfunctory observations? My problem is with retrogrades like the op and other religionists who believe in the infallibility of historical figures who, by now, should have vanished into the forgotten pages of time, but instead, have their anachronistic and absurd teachings constantly and compulsively defended against every sense of reason and decency.

On the other hand, if the op is inviting me to partake in the pointless debate of which holy book appears more lenient to slaves, then I should clearly state that I find as much amusement in such a discussion as I would find in pondering over whether it is better to steal N1,000 or N10,000. As you may have rightly guessed, such discussions are neither productive nor interesting.

My only problem is someone that cannot call a spade of spade because of sentimental allegiance..

SLAVERY IS SLAVERY IN ANY DECORATION IT MAY COME IN BE IT IN THE BIBLE OR KORAN, IT IS EVIL AND WRONG...

Btw i dont recall telling anybody to reject their belief muslim or Christian that's your business... but that shouldn't cloud anybody's judgement in this issue like wat am seeing now..

muslims trying to hide and twist their koan but condemn that of christians, while christians find a way to hide and twist theirs but condemn that of muslims... common why cant someone just say slavery is bad be it in the koran or the bible..

Like you rightly said, SLAVERY IS BAD. Period. It's the op, Ifeann aka parisbookaddict who loves to engage in unproductive discussions, with the sole aim of bashing Islam. She tried to justify the slavery in the bible but criticize slavery as practiced in Islam. She even supports more recent slavery carried out through the West's colonialism. See her comment in the screenshot I've uploaded below. When someone pointed out the evil in colonialism's slavery, she says "we don't live in a perfect world", meaning it's OKAY. You know why she thinks it's ok? Because the evil was perpetrated by xtians. If it was done by Muslims, trust me, she would have flooded NL about how Muslims are evil.

parisbookaddict:

unlike the quran, don't forget slavery in biblical times is different from the 7th century arab slavery Mohammed practised..biblical slavery Was recorded 4000 years ago, that is over 2000 years before Jesus while Mohammed was born Just in the 7th century (600AD)..let's look at some quran and hadith verses regarding slavery. ..


Qur'an (23:5-6)- "..who abstain from sex, except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hands possess..." This verse permits the slave-owner to have sex with his slaves.

Qur'an (4:24)- "And all married women (are forbidden unto you) save those (captives) whom your right hands possess." Even sex with married slaves is permissible.
Qur'an (8:69)- "But (now) enjoy what ye took in war, lawful and good" A reference to war booty, of which slaves were a part. The Muslim slave master may enjoy his "catch" because (according to verse 71) "Allah gave you mastery over them."


Bukhari (41.598)- Slaves are property. They cannot be freed if an owner has outstanding debt, but can be used to pay off the debt.

Bukhari (62:137)- An account of women taken as slaves in battle by Muhammad's men after their husbands and fathers were killed. The woman were raped with Muhammad's approval.

Bukhari (34:432)- Another account of females taken captive and raped with Muhammad's approval. In this case it is evident that the Muslims intend on selling the women after raping them because they are concerned about devaluing their price by impregnating them. Muhammad is asked about coitus interruptus.

Bukhari (47.765)- A woman is rebuked by Muhammad for freeing a slave girl. The prophet tells her that she would have gotten a greater heavenly reward by giving her to a relative (as a slave).
Bukhari (34:351)- Muhammad sells a slave for money. He was thus a slave trader.

Muslim 3901- Muhammad trades away two black slaves for one Muslim slave.
Muslim 4112- A man freed six slaves on the event of his death, but Muhammad reversed the emancipation and kept four in slavery to himself. He cast lots to determine which two to free.

Bukhari (47:743)- Muhammad's own pulpit - from which he preached Islam - was built with slave labor on his command.

Muslims traded African slaves in the millions even before the "whites".


Here

New Amsterdam Books, New York, NY 1989
In his fact-filled work on the history of the Muslim Arab slave trade in Africa, Murray Gordon notes that this trade pre-dated the European Christian African slave trade by a thousand years and continued for more than a century after the Europeans had abolished the practice. Gordon estimates the number of slaves “harvested” from Black Africa over the period of the Muslim Arab slave trade at 11 million

“Despite the long history of slavery in the Arab World and in other Muslim lands, little has been written about this tragedy,” writes Gordon in his introduction. “Except for the few abolitionists, mainly in England, who railed against Arab slavery and put pressure upon Western governments to end the traffic in slaves, the issue has all but been ignored in the West.”

A difference between the bible or quran is that kidnapping for slavery is banned and forbidden in the bible the Mosaic Law was death: “Anyone who kidnaps another and
either sells him or still has him when he is caught must be put to
death” ( Exodus 21:16 ).

Islam see things differently. It promotes slavery and capturing trading and breeding slaves and sex slavery. ..it encourages sleeping with married slaves which is forbidden in the bible


Sahih Muslim 8:29: “IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE.”


Leviticus 19:20-22 New International Version (NIV)
20 “‘If a man sleeps with a female slave who is promised to another man
but who has not been ransomed or given her freedom, there must be due
punishment.[ a ] Yet they are not to be put to death, because she had
not been freed. 21 The man, however, must bring a ram to the entrance
to the tent of meeting for a guilt offering to the Lord.


Christains have fought agaisnt slavery where ever it was met..
The pope abolished slavery as far back as in 1435: In Sicut Dudum, Pope Eugene IV banned enslavement of Christians in the Canary Islands on pain of excommunication

In 1537: Pope Paul III forbids slavery of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as well as of any other new population that would be discovered, indicating their right to freedom and property. However, only Catholic countries apply it, and state that they cannot possibly enforce what happens in the distant colonies


Now let's see when Muslim majority countries decided to ban slavery


1952: Qatar abolishes slavery.
1958: Bhutan abolishes slavery.
1960: Niger abolishes slavery (though it was not made illegal until 2003).[83]
1962: Saudi Arabia abolishes slavery.
1962: Yemen abolishes slavery.
1964: The United Arab Emirates abolishes slavery.
1970: Oman abolishes slavery.
1981: Mauritania abolishes slavery
2003: Niger makes slavery a crime.
2007: Mauritania makes slavery a crime.

Muslim countries are the last ones to abolish slavery..

Yes u are right when u said the point being passed across eludes u..because apparently it did.

The intention is to draw parallels between the verses on slavery as contained in the bible and quran(posts 1 and 2). To understand the practise 4000 years in antiquity and shade more light on the subject to folks like u who speak with little understanding on the subject..and often try to attack the bible

But of course in ur arrogance u refuse to see the difference..

So u do agree that sahih muslim and bukhari are nonsense fabrications of the deeds of Mohammed including his alleged splitting of the moon "miracle"..and camel pass cure etc..remember these are the 2 best hadiths. .

Are these fabrications and do u reject it?
This is really your opinion. Hadiths are graded and what I believe is none of your business. And no, i don't reject Imam Muslim and Imam Bukhari. If i believe prophet muhammad (saw) slit the moon is still none of your business. At least Qur'an makes reference to it and Muslims have different opinion about it. Qur'anic verse 54:1-2 http://quran.com/54/1-2 . Quran is our standard by which everything else is graded including all your Bibles. So possibility of "splitting of the moon" could be very valid.

On camel piss for curing ailment, oh you feel disgusted?. Do you have idea what pharmaceutical drugs you take are made of?. Let me start from...

*Premarin: What is Premarin?

Premarin stands for P[/b]regnant [b]M[/b]ares' [b]U[/b]rine ([b]PRE[/b]gnant [b]MAR[/b]es' ur[b]IN[/b]e). It is a drug made up of conjugated estrogens obtained from the urine of pregnant mares -- put out in many forms (pills, creams, injections, patches, vaginal rings) and is used to reduce the symptoms of menopause in women or women who have had a hysterectomy.

How would you even know if they mixed human feces with panadol?. Or you want me to tell you about a client I worked with for good 5yrs?. He's a bed-bound patient and has to be mechanically transferred to wheelchair. Because of that, he has pressure ulcers all the time on both buttocks. His big wound is as big as 400g Milo lid and 5 inches deep. There is no way to heal that as long as he sits in the power chair.

Anytime he was brought to our office, surgeon always recommended surgical operations on him, I personally would clean his wound in most cases. My point is when we performed operations on him, surgeon always borrowed meat from his biceps femoris to fill up his buttocks wounds. At least we had 7-8 surgeries on him in 5 yrs. His last last two surgeries could not be accomplished using same procedure. Doctor had to use pork meat to fill up the wounds. This is what they called "plastic surgery". So what the big deal with recommendation in the hadith of using camel urine. Of-course we not gonna literally drink urine in modern time.

Now let's see when Muslim majority countries decided to ban slavery


1952: Qatar abolishes slavery.
1958: Bhutan abolishes slavery.
1960: Niger abolishes slavery (though it was not made illegal until 2003).[83]
1962: Saudi Arabia abolishes slavery.
1962: Yemen abolishes slavery.
1964: The United Arab Emirates abolishes slavery.
1970: Oman abolishes slavery.
1981: Mauritania abolishes slavery
2003: Niger makes slavery a crime.
2007: Mauritania makes slavery a crime.
Muslim countries are the last ones to abolish slavery..

Those countries you mentioned above were themselves under christian colonial masters. They had no independence. Let's see when they were emancipated by christian slave masters:

1952: Qatar abolishes slavery. Gained freedom from christian slave masters 3 September 1971 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qatar

1960: Niger abolishes slavery. Gained freedom from christian slave masters 3 August 1960
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Niger

1962: Yemen Gained freedom from christian slave masters 30 November 1967

1964: The United Arab Emirates Gained freedom from christian slave masters 2 December 1971

1970: Oman Gained freedom from christian slave masters 1960

1981: Mauritania Gained freedom from christian slave masters 28 November 1960

So what much could they do decades before their independence?. They themselves were under slavery of christian slave masters. So what are you talking about.

Ancient Jews and Christians did not abolish slavery. Why didnt they abolish slavery before prophet Muhammad was born?.

Christains have fought agaisnt slavery where ever it was met..
The pope abolished slavery as far back as in 1435: In Sicut Dudum, Pope Eugene IV banned enslavement of Christians in the Canary Islands on pain of excommunication

In 1537: Pope Paul III forbids slavery of the indigenous peoples of the Americas as well as of any other new population that would be discovered, indicating their right to freedom and property. However, only Catholic countries apply it, and state that they cannot possibly enforce what happens in the distant colonies

^If they abolished slavery back then, why did they give most of these Arab countries freedom in 20th century.
