aribisala0: Well he certainly modified my comments posted at 12.21 and 12.28 pm on January 05. My view is if the comments were offensive they should have been removed. To edit them is wrong as it misrepresents my views which should be presented in their entirety or not at all.

The edit was justified. He removed 2 sentences in which you were insulting someone's father. You should not insult people's fathers on Nairaland.

Negro_Ntns: Seun, Someone with administrative privilege is modifying my posts specific to ibo topics. I do not give permission for my post to be revised or modified prior to my authorization. please see to this. I hope there will be no repeat forward.

Which posts were modified?

You are doing two things here:
1) Begging deranged animals not to commit crimes, which obviously does not work.
2) Insulting good men by insinuating that they are not different from deranged animals.

Sorry, I didn't read the entire post, because I was offended by the insinuations and hysterical tone your first few paragraphs.

rokiatu: I know back when I was in high school and I would used the school library to post bollywood pics instead of doing my schoolwork. Hhahahaha

I remember those days. I hope you had fun. :-)

truthislight: less i reply you out of context, can you Pls, post the the exact portion you are referencing to and lets see? Peace.

I'm referencing the entire bible from Genesis to Revelation. Throughout the entire bible, slave-keeping is never condemned as a sin.

Mr_Anony: I want us to critically examine what the bible says about slavery. If you are interested in proper study, then I await your reply but if you aren't.......well that's just too bad

Actually, I think we should dwell on what the bible does not say about slavery. The bible does not say it is a sin to own or trade slaves.

What bothers me about the story was that he was probably torturing her for the 3 days that she was in his house, and the neighbors did nothing.

wise_many2k: I know....but how many ppl can dey take on if a crowd standup to them? Proper check will tell you that they only rob cars wit 1 or 2 occupants

With a gun involved, some people in such a crowd will die before the robbers can be stopped.

wise_many2k: and also had a gun

Guns make people at like chickens. Nobody wants to die.

Mr_Anony: Actually that is the story of Paul, Onesimus and Philemon adapted to a modern day Nigerian context. I would really appreciate it if you could analyze the story and tell me who it's heroes and villians are?

You're trying to distract us from the main point - that the bible does not condemn the practice of slavery - by posting irrelevant stories. If the moral standard of the bible is so high, how come slave-keeping, which was widely practiced in biblical times, is never recognized as an unacceptable evil in the bible? Why is it that God intends to cast liars into the lake that burneth with fire and brimestone, but has no such plan for people who buy, sell and own other human beings? How can a book be held as the ultimate moral standard of the universe when it tolerates and fails to condemn the deplorable and unacceptable practice of slavery, which no sane human being alive today would condone or tolerate?

Mr_Anony: Either way, thanks for nothing....I'll allow Seun to respond

I fail to see how your hypothetical story proves that slavery was condemned as an immoral, sinful, and unacceptable act in the bible.

sexkillz: [color=#000030]This is the last time I will lock a thread on this section without banning all involved. . . Consider this a last warning! [/color]

That is not our policy. Pls ban anyone that posts offtopic after this post and keep the thread open. If they complain, direct them to me!

@sexkillz: That's a great speech. No wonder you're the moderator of the year.

truthislight: my argument was NT.

OT, wars were fought between servant of Yehwah and servants of other gods as to whose God was the most powerful or the "true" God and as it were winner takes all.

That ^^ haven been cleared the focussed hence in the NT was to draw all kinds of human back to the "true" God and laws were given to serve that end.
Peace

Jesus, his disciples, and early Christians lived in a world where slavery was commonly practiced, and yet it never occurred to them to condemn slave ownership anywhere in the Bible. They even allowed slave owners to join the church without being required to free their slaves. How can you claim that biblical morality is superior in light of this fact?
