Dtruthspeaker: Your post is summary of the magnification of God's "all-loving" attribute. Is it Satan that created Earthquakes, Tsunami, Volcano, Landslides that leads to killing of innocent people including unborn children? 1 Like |

bright007:But he already told them, there is no slave or free in christ jesus, and everyone is thesame. So in that sense, a slave obeying his master, would simply be serving him like before but even better and with a new consciousness that he is a free man and not a slave, and his Christian master would not treat him like a slave, because they are thesame, this however doesn't prevent the former slave from serving him still in willing Christian service, and the so called master is now aware that he is no longer a master and would treat the so called slave as a brother in christ. There is only one master to both of them, and that is christ. This was the christian ideal at the time, and I think it was reasonable. 1 Like |

Daejoyoung: Same thing I have been saying from the beginning! It is you who is tired of defending the defenseless and an obvious dent on your God's attribute. While I am telling you that the God in the bible didn't abolish nor discourage slavery of man , you are busy beating about the bush concentrating on Paul. If you and I agree slavery of man by man is evil, then tell me why your God never considered it evil by telling the Israelites not to engage in slavery right from the old testament to the new? 1 Like |

bright007: I already answered you that He had and has always Condemned All Evil, including slavery. Repeating the question would not change its answer. bright007: The Reasonable question You should have asked is why? And to what purpose? I am sure you do not know that before Christ came it was Rightful to kill Wicked and Evil people on the earth that's what you see from Exodus through Deuteronomy and in the old Testament. Evil is not Allowed only Good, Lives. That was the Will of God. But the advice in Colossians stops us, (cos I and others like me would have been going about killing every evil soul we can find) because the The Destroyer that moved in Egypt and Even More Dangerous Brothers ARE COMING! And they would even do a better job than we could ever achieve. |

Dtruthspeaker: Your reply is laughable I must confess! Even during Paul's days, Christian's still had slaves. Now Paul came and told the slaves to obey their masters. Why not tell the Christians to let go of their slaves because slavery was evil? Isnt that simple enough I am waiting for your goal-post shifting answers 3 Likes 1 Share |

bright007:It just like saying: 1) Fellow Nigerians and employers of labour, who pay their labourers little, free all employees and have no more employees under you who work their arse out for little pay. Compare this to: 2) Retain your employees, but treat them well for the supreme master would be against you, if you don't treat them like brothers, and pay them well.

Dtruthspeaker: Seriously? Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Colossians 3:22” In this verse, who was Paul addressing the instructions to? Was it not to Christians? If the Christian's at that time didnt have slaves, why the instructions? 3 Likes 1 Share |

bright007: , you just had to ask! Children or persons under the ages of 7 are known and seen to be innocent of the Decisions they make or likely to make because, it seen and known that they Do not understand nor know what they do. Therefore no one relies or can rely on their decision neither does anyone very readily act on them. Therefore children comit No Wrong because they do not understand nor know what they do, neither do they cause anyone to Act on what they say or do. My Lawyers say that they are not Criminal Responsible neither can they ever be, because they know Not what They do. But can Adult say that he does not know what he is doing? Never, if at all, he has only 1% probability. He is Guilty 100% of the time and it is from there that his guilt may drop, if it is capable of being dropped! |

Daejoyoung: This opposes your earlier beliefs. You said bad things are not the intention of God. And that bad things happen because of sin. If unborn children and those below 7 years are without sin according to you, why will they be punished by a loving God for evil caused by sinners? 2 Likes |

bright007: . None at all! They are dead because we see them Not, but they are not DEAD! Infact their case is so sweet because they would not even be in Court to stand trial (for doing Nothing) on that day,, unlike you and I and other grown Persons. Therefore they all have Automatic Qualification to Live in the New World, God would make. They are the ones who Qualify Under the Law that says "Every soul that sinneth SHALL Surely Die". They have not sinned, therefore, they shall not Die! There case no even day court, but all of us get case for Court. |

bright007: Paul said "Servants" not slaves which is not the same thing. For servants are Free and can Rebel or even Disobey their "Masters among other things But a slave is in Wrongful Hot Captivity and Very Tight Bondage of which he Requires Freedom! Therefore Paul did not talk about slaves or to slaves but to "Servants". And Everyone at one point or the other becomes a Servant, for everyone has an Oga as we say. So therefore he is simply advicing us that when we are called to reasonable service, we should do so rightly and with understanding that it is for Good, unless it is not for good. Romans 13:1-4 |

bright007: Here it is. 1) The word is "Little Children" not Children.Mathew 18:1-6 and 10. 2) Mathew 19:14 3) Deuteronomy 1:39 (having no knowledge between good and evil). In Law knowledge of good and evil is called "men's Rea" meaning "Guilty Mind". And based on "Guilty Mind" God Judges All men as he has Always done since the beginning of the world. For guilty minds, Punishment; for good minds or hearts, Blessings! Hence the truth of the other Post "God Still Hears Your Thoughts". This has Always Been His Pattern from Genesis to Revelations! |

bright007: Your NIV, CSB, NLT, ESV are Deceiving you in saying "slaves" (Evil) not "Servants" (Regular and Ordinary Free Persons whom you see everyday) which is what KJV says. Curiously no KJV. Slavery means Complete Ownership and Possession of Fellow Souls like you. And it is against the Most High Law that One Soul can Not and Should Not Posses the Soul of Another, as if he were a laptop or car. Both the Wicked Soul Possessing and the Soul being Possessed are the Property of the Most High. Eg Toyota Sequoia can not Possess and shall Never be able to Possess Toyota Yaris, not to talk of Kia Picanto. That is the Law and all who are in breach of it SHALL ANSWER TO THEIR CREATOR! |
