Not nearly as funny as you trying to claim it was not slavery.
I wonder if you be so kind as to explain why some of them were required to have their ear pierced?
Or will you merely further your attempt at refusing to call a silencer a silencer?

Yes i believe the slavery in the old testement was wrong. ( thank god for Jesus!)

I do believe the " bondservent" in the new testement was a little different.

my point was

Roots ( whips , chains, beatings, taken from homeland, worked untill you droped) VS.

bondservant ( usally sold themselves as servants, many after 7 years would choose to stay with there master because there life was so good with them).

slavery is a sin, hiring a worker to live with you and serve you is not.

dont get me wrong, i'm not a chirstian, i myself find contradiction in the bible but that is not the case here. but i do read from some where in the bible that a community was destroyed by God for their homosexual conduct. i believe that place was called Sodom and Gomorrah or something like that.

as for "impose those strictures on us while ignoring the ones you don't want to follow" well i wont argue with that. i'm in no position for i am not a christian.

Sodom was not destroyed because of homosexuality. It was destroyed for social depravity, as borne out by the utter lack of hospitality. The episode you mention addresses inhospitality shown to strangers by the townsfolk through an attempted act of "battlefield rape." It is a subjugation technique, not a homosexual act. That Lot spared the visitors is the pivotal point in the story, since Lot was, himself, a visitor to the city. When the strangers arrived, no one greeted them at the city gate, as they should have been (a big, red flag). When the mob arrived at Lot's home, no one of the city protected them. Both of these incidents show that there was no proper hospitality there, and no social order.

JUDE
7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

homosexuallty was not the ONLY reason it was destroyed , but it was ONE of the reasons.:angel2:

Fornicating as an example of widespread social disorder. But, regrdless of what the Writer of Jude says about the story, the story itself is a story about hospitality.

iam serious also , do you think there was no " sodomy" in the biblical city " sodom"?
Click to expand...
May have been; we're everywhere. :cool: But surely you know that the existence of the English word sodomy isn't any evidence of it. You may even know that sodomy means different things in different languages.

But why are you so reluctant to answer my question? You cited Jude as evidence that Sodom was destroyed, in part, for homosexuality. I asked you if you thought "going after strange flesh" meant homosexuality. Why are you afraid to answer?
