Ephesians 6:5
Colossians 3:22
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

Tell me how? How is it possible?
To sincerely obey someone that's Enslaving you ...that believes you are a shit in the site of human, that you are a second class human...

Many things just don't sit well...

Good job ,
Oh and woman should not speak openly in churches ,



And wives submits wholesomely to your men , no questions asked
I love the bible


How can you be a woman and be a Christain , lol it makes absolutely no sense.

You are not supposed to believe everything you read in the Bible. I'd even say you are not meant to believe anything in the Bible unless your intention is to tremble like a demon.

Try understanding the Bible instead, in its context and its time. I assure you you'd evolve.

Make me understand the meaning of the passage...

I can understand why some Bible readers think it is a good thing to emulate demons. After all, "believe" was the word used for learning in its time, and it is repeated many times in the Bible that believing will get one into heaven, and the Nigerian education system hardly teaches understanding, which is why one can regurgitate what one crammed to pass an exam. Tell them to use their learning however, and you'd find empty trembling heads that are unemployable.

Funny thing is many would rather believe a book than the evidence before their own eyes! Or when did a belief put food on your table? And that, despite reading that Jesus was a healer of the senses, and that "thou shalt not bow down and worship idols", which is what the Bible becomes when it is elevated to godhood.

We are young I guess, and think like children. But a time will surely come when childhood beliefs will be put away and we shall see face to face and understand instead and grow in wisdom.

Make me understand the meaning of the passage...

Its not about "understand the meaning of any single passage"! As Christ said, "do not live by bread alone or you will be malnourished"!

You must read the entire book in order to understand that as the wrathful God evolved into the loving Jesus Christ, so too do the ideas in the Bible evolve over time.

A clear example of the evolution of Biblical ideas is [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+5%3A38-48&version=NIV]the following[/url]:

"You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth."

Jesus evolved it to:

"But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you".

If you evolve the passages in the same way Jesus taught us to do, I'm certain you'd know how to treat your wife and your slaves.

Please accept this free book to assist your evolution.

what is wrong in that verses? A servant should not attempt to deceive a master, but rather
genuinely work hard to do his or her best. Does it mean this verse encourage slaves? Now read verse 9 of Ephesians 6. Paul address those who own slaves, in
verse 9. There, he will remind them that they are no better than those they (the slaves) .

Your Argument would have been better if Paul had not address both the master and the slaves. Paul message is clearly understand,slaves (servant) obey your master. Master, do not man handling your slaves. But your corrupted mind sees only the negatives side . Can any good comes out from your heart?

Good morning.
That scripture you quoted has verse 7,8,9 in same context. Read it properly. Then go back again and read from verse 1 for better understanding.

Scriptures are meant to be read together not in isolation. That is how meaning is derived from all literature.

Idiot Continue to be deceived ...I know when you pray you imagine a white man coming to save you, because they are your "master". And a man that looks like you is evil or the devil....

and the devil has revealed himself. You start as a genuine seeker. You ask polite, but when I give you the answer, the demon in you reveal himself .
Why did you skeep verse 9? Well, I cannot exchange word with you on a faceless forum. That's immature.

don't mind them. Is just like a man wrote exam, score 80% out of 100%, would it be fair if the teacher ignore the ones he got right, and failed him? Just because he got 20% wrong? .

Likewise, they interpret the bible base on ONE SINGLE verse. and the answer to the op is in verse 9.

you ask questions, did I condemned your questions? If you can read verse 6, are you too lazy to read up to verse 9?

Forgive me for answering, but yes, good can come out of their hearts.

However, one must watch ones own heart and forgive them because they are only doing as they have been taught to believe they should.

If I can't believe God created heaven and earth in six days and rested on the seventh, I should steal and murder and not love my neighbour?

And what if I understand the Bible instead of just believing and trembling like a demon?

It is godly to seek answers. Give op the benefit of the doubt that he wants to learn.

You are wrong, delkuf.

It would in fact have made more sense if you had said, "one cannot believe the Bible unless one understands it". But if you did understand the Bible, you would not merely believe it because you would know what was meant in it and be more able to live it.

Here's a thread that might help you understand what I mean.

Didn't you read what you wrote. Let me rephrase it. You said and what if I understand the Bible instead of just believing and trembling like demon. So I said you cannot understand the Bible without believing in it. let me ask you a question. As an atheist what do you believe. You believe that nobody created the heavens and the earth. That we evolve as a human being. So did you come to understand this without believing in it. You understand from what a scientist told and you believe in it. If I tell God created the heavens and earth, you will say you don't believe in it. Because you have to believe what you understand. So I repeat you cannot understand the Bible without believing in it.

Who told you buda is an atheist? And why would you think buda believes when buda has clearly stated that believing is the emulation of demons?

People who believe things tend to not have bothered to check any evidence and usually believe crap that they make up inside their heads.

Or don't you think so?

delkuf:

No delkuf, you are wrong.

I have to understand what I believe or I might ignorantly be believing what I do not understand.
