The xtain God, Yahwah, was a full time supporter of slavery. Why is it regarded as evil today by the xtain folks? Are they wiser than their own God?

If you're arguing loudly on your phone in private, please put it on speaker.
I need to hear both sides of the story to know who's side I am on.

It was slave era... and apostle Paul was admonishing both the slaves and the masters on how to treat each other....

It was a cruel period of slave-master relationship.

As Christians, he advised thus...

(Ephesians 6 )
------------
5 5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

…
9 9 And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.


This is best for that time .....Going by the way pagans treat their slaves....

While there was cruelty in the way slaves were treated, Christians were advised to treat them nicely knowing that God is the master of all.


You and others are just looking for any means necessary to discredit the bible....

Even if the means are lame.

OP, you're very ignorant about the bible. This is why I tell Christians to stop wasting their time arguing with people like this. They are not interested in a true understanding of the word, all they do is cherry pick things they see as an opportunity to criticize. Just Preach the truth of the gospel to people like him and let them do what they may with it.

So called slaves in those days have lots of rights than the slavery practiced in "civilized" societies as recent as 200yrs ago.

This is merely a question, but your conscience is already judging you. I will pass

That was a question that needed an honest answer, but you failed to answer but rather, beat around the bush. Slavery was a normal practice then, why is it frowned at today?

Really?

OK.

This is what I have in my Bible :

Ephesians 6:5 KJV
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

Servants are not slaves.

Even at that , do you expect the apostle to say , "slaves disobey your masters " ?

Now that slavery is abolished , the scriptures would have been like , " servants disobey your masters" .
This would make christianity to be seen as evil because it breeds disunity .

At least you admit your bible is useless to us as it was practiced in an ancient, outmoded time.

Ah atheists twisting biblical verses again.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Originakalokalo an atheist? LMFAO!

Why do you people call everyone who you don't agree with atheist?

LordReed:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Originakalokalo an atheist? LMFAO!

I'm obviously referring to the op he is addressing.

I watched a video on Instagram last night, a white girl was reading the bible story
"As Jesus grew up he learnt more and more about god". She paused and asked I thought Jesus is god, how can he learn about himself

For a little girl to have such wisdom to question religious texts, then this men and women on Nairaland have no excuse.

Amazing how atheists can twist a post of mine wherein I mention their twisting of biblical verses. U liars never cease to amaze me

LordReed:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You know what the guy meant...

Originakalokalo an atheist ke?

Before that will happen, God will have called me home to rest....

God till death and after death!!!!!

LoL! You believe in a fucking fairytale and you have mouth to talk about liars. LMFAO!

How can you be obviously addressing someone by quoting a different person's post? Oh I know you were caught up in a spiritual vision where reality doesn't make any sense like the fairytale you believe right? LoL

It is possible for a little girl to think that way because she doesn't understand the mystery of God yet...

I and the other children of God on nairaland do not have little brain...

We have been enlightened through the spirit of God ....we have access to the mysteries of the kingdom of God....

Sorry that you cannot understand it...

I do.

No I did not, not when he quoted you instead of the OP.

They are proof that our educational system has failed woefully. How grown up folks will buy into such delusion still marvel me.

My younger bro (12yrs) asked my dad last week, "If Jesus and God are one as portrayed by the bible, how possible is it that he came to earth, to have himself killed to appease himself?"

I saw my dad battling to give an answer.

Some believe jesus and Yahwah are different, some believe they are one. The inconsistencies and loopholes are just overwhelming and proved only one thing, God is merely a human construct.

The son of perdition must not be found missing in the midst of God's people.

Mystery of god AKA I don't understand what all this rubbish is about but I will "faith it" since I am too scared and so indoctrinated to think for myself. So I've to believe or else i was told I will go to hell. There I just summarized the whole "mystery of god"
