foladara777: Am just going to post a few verses of the scriptures here showing the position of God towards 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)
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)
Now, u would think the new testament would forbid slavery but no, it doesn't: 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)
It's greatly disturbing that a supposedly good god who had the time to ban shellfish and the wearing of clothes off different materials didn't forbid one of the worst acts of man's inhumanity to man... What do you think??
Cc Mimzyy I need answers too. But I can guess it is cos the whole bible was fabricated by men, so they wrote based on their own personal morals. Why wld a god be more concerned on banning shellfish and eating pigs than banning slavery.
VajanahDischaj: just kill yourself then stand before God and ask Him, as e be now u can't behold God with your durty.
What a scam. Why can't ur god talk to him now why kill himself? Oh cos ur god aint real and once he dies he won't be able to come back to tell u there is nothing out there. Hmmm
chaloner: is lik all Nairaland mod nA atheist nd smhow sadist. Time to quit Nairaland
Better do, look for a forum of fools that don't ask questions. So because he asked if those who died are not christians, that is enuf to make u uncomfortable
Mimzyy: The op ain't the same as the pics that was posted plus the contest is still months away. Dunno what the fuss is all bout. Different groups just keep springing up. Lolz @ 12unti course
Not everything eyes sees mouth can talk. Let's just let this die.
Sanchez02: LOL... Trust me, the snake that was killed is a King Cobra. What you uploaded is a close shot of a black mamba, which tends to make it bigger than it is.
Exactly. So many illiterates on nairaland, wonder how that looks like a mamba to them.
In 2009, i did an experiment with the poison extracted from it's mouth, i mixed it with human blood, the result was scary, in just 2 minutes, it froze the blood
And for the people saying that it's a king cobra, how old are you guys ?? Even a 4 year old kid can tell you how cobras look like but you guys stupidity is amazing
Cobras have flat hooded heads
There are scarcity of cobras in Nigeria
The only cobra you will find in Africa is the black-necked spitting cobra, and it's only in Mozambique
The second picture i will attach is how a cobra looks like
That is a cobra not mamba. A dead cobra cannot spread it's hood, they only do that when threatened. Learn
greg42: Cobras only show their hoods when threatened and ready to launch an attack, otherwise,they are nearly similar...
chocolateme: you can type from morning till evening bro.. All there is to it is for you to continue taunting people's foolish or wise opinions but never letting people know what you think you know.. At least posts Luke mine needed to exist for you to oppose and dialogue but as long as I am concerned, you have made no point and only ended up using negative and insulting words. Which generally is to say that you could have as well as taken the advice of your first sentence in my mention.. You go into an exam hall, collect answer script, write nothing and then submits it all because you don't know what to write right.. When you are asked a question and you answer a different thing altogether, what do you think someone that knows the answer will do? Please don't quote me if you REALLY have nothing to post OK.. As for the "likes" you seek, you will get it when this gets to the front page.
People who talk like this have inferiority complex. What concerns me with likes of nairaland? Is that why you post here? Will it pay my bills. I have advised you, if you want keep doing it, you make your money, but don't say things you don't know anything about. That is all.
