Regarding religion and integrity: if you look to a religion for a moral code, that's all fine and dandy - but that's completely separate from the issue of whether god or gods exist or not. We use all sorts of metaphor and allegory to illustrate a point and to teach a lesson. so if a religious person says that they use their faith as a moral compass, that's fine, but doesn't prove the existence of a supernatural deity / dieties.
The argument doesn't really hold up here. Whatever the reason that you think the one child is being good (empathy, etc), it's for the same reason as the child who's doing it out of fear. There's always a perceived authority figure over the shoulder, no matter how subtle. No one is just good because of their nature, or because they have a special gift. For some people that authority is God, for others it's dad, or peer approval, or the law...
@instereovideos The only difference is, god is the only one of those authority figures that still has been proven to exist in some form. Your parents are real; your peers exist; laws are enforced. But why is it that god's punishment only comes AFTER death? How is that any kind of justice?
@instereovideos or simply being able to look one self in the mirror... I have no other authority than myself because i just don't want to harm people... Why, surely because we are social mamals...
@Acrimonator Well, actually you contradicted yourself a little. What makes more sense is to say that "I do have an authority other than myself, and that authority is the consequences of my actions in a social situation." Not wanting to harm people doesn't come from yourself, it comes from wanting to be safe and secure, and realizing that others are like you and will act to defend their own safety and security. Acting in their best interest is also an act of self preservation.
@instereovideos No, no and no... I really hate hurting people, call that emathy or what you want but it's not the consequences that i fear but my own judgement...
@Acrimonator Well, we could argue that all day (your hatred of hurting people comes from having the same realizations I described, just at a very young age). But either way, you don't have "empathy" as an inherent thing inside you... you yourself just admitted that you fear the consequences, in the form of "judgment." So "yes, yes and yes."
I always, even as a kid, found the idea of god, watching me 24/7 to be disturbing. In the bathroom, bathtub, while having sex, while you're sleeping? That he can read your mind and knows your thoughts? I knew that was somehow ALL WRONG. I never found it comforting...kids being raped and murdered, and he is watching. Only watching...I don't know when I stopped believing, or maybe I just never really did. It's UNBELIEVABLE. Unless you're a sadist. Or god is.
@msphatgirl72 its worst than the kids being raped and god just watching.... god is supposedly able to read our mind so he is watching and reading every "why is this happening to me?" "i am scared" etc plus any prayer they might do in their minds asking for help. If god exists, he is infinitely evil, i could say it is ungraspable how evil would he got to be. its really sick to believe in that tyrant kind of big sky daddy
@msphatgirl72 Haha yea I never thought of that, but with ALL the sick sh!t that goes on in the world.. Like why is God watching every bit of it?! He never gets disgusted with any of the shit he sees, he just watches on and on ?! :D man that's comical in a terrible way.
Huh, so he's THAT Jeff Dee. I thought the name was just a coincidence. (He also doesn't look old enough to be that artist, been seeing his stuff since the late 70s!)
First realize your a sinner...Believe in your heart God raised Jesus Christ from the dead, confess him as Lord, ask him to forgive your sins (repent of them), wash you in his blood, and make you his child. Read and obey the Gospel, it has the power to save your soul.
do you happen to have a video with atheist experience show with shockofgod in it? He claims that he called the show and challenged the atheists with this question: what proof or evidence do you guys have that atheism is accurate and correct?
Theism is the believe in gods. A-theism is to NOT have that belief.
You couldn't be a god-hating atheist, or a devil-loving atheist. Both positions entail a belief in gods and devils which the atheist doesn't have - no devil to love, no god to hate.
Most atheists lack this belief in a god simply because there is zero evidence for it. It's not about us having positive evidence that there ARE no gods. It's the burden of the claimer to PROVIDE evidence.
i think that last thing he sadi is interesting: a christian being good without god watching is admitting atheism. i like how it portrays all religious activity as a societal attempt at moral consensus, which is exactly what the founders of all of the religions of the world were trying to achieve
The problem with the christian answer is that it's not an interpretation of evidence, and it's not necessarily true. Really the atheist is answering a question of 'how' not 'why'. A better example would be:
Atheist: I don't know why [honest answer]
Christian: I know exactly why; "INSERT SPECIFIC REASON" [Dishonest because they don't really know]
you felt the need to leave like 9 comments on this video. basically that shows that you think someone gives a shit what you think, like NINE TIMES. speaking of being far up your own ass...
Some atheists have done their homework, gone through the intellectual arguments for and against the existence of God, and arrived at a thoughtful atheistic position but most have no real understanding of what Christianity is.
For anyone who wants to learn more about the other side of the debate, my channel has some info that you might find interesting.
The christian god does not care about integrity. He only cares about obedience and submission.
If Abraham had had some integrity, he would have told his god to go f*ck himself when he was ordered to sacrifice his child Isaac. And then god would have praised him for his integrity. But instead the bible god only cared about the obedience and submission of Abraham. This is the true face of this evil and corrupt god.
If a god would reveal himself beyond any doubt to everyone, I wouldn't feel bad about that at all. I still don't think that your particular should he be the one to reveal himself is worthy of worship though.
that's a funny statement, because atheists feel the same way about you, we hope you religious people would finally see that there is no such thing as good, and the only way atheists will change their lack of faith is if the so called god would actually materialize and prof to all that he is really real, probably by performing a miracle of some sort, something that a magician cannot perform. if atheists can respect your god beliefs, why cant you respect atheists lack of belief. don't be offended.
You know Mr RexGladius, it is supose to be a free world, freedom of choice. Why is it then when people don't want to believe in a god/gods and any religion people like you come out and say repent, repent, you are all going to hell for not believing. Not believing in a god/religion does not make a person bad or evil, its just their choice. I realy believe in this statement, "Ever since there has been a one true god there has been killing in his/her name". Cheers
It is a free world with free choice and I am (and most religious people with some exceptions of extremists) are not forcing you to become any religion. I am merely stating my opinion. I'm sorry if I offended people. I know people can be good without believing in a God/religion I know/knew lots of nice people who are atheists. And yes there has been killing in the name of all gods, be it just or unjust etc...
Morality isn't about working for a reward. If such were the case, then who's more moral, the person who wants to kill his boss through some shaudenfrede tastic style but doesn't due to the fact that it would mean the loss of his job (and him getting arrested...), or the guy who gets upset with his boss and doesn't even think of any form of physical harm, and/or is sickened by the idea of doing so?
Very true, but seen from the evolutionary perspective there is no "not working for a reward". If morality really didn't offer a reward it could never have evolved in organisms. So there has to be some kind of advantage to the individual.
The likely reward is that others sometimes notice the morality and become more trusting towards this individual. The advantage the person receives by this would have to be bigger then the penalty for being moral in cases where it is not noticed by others.
this has NOTHING to do with the vid, but, WHAT is with the toy stuffed cows?they are always on the table (in this case, the couch...) as for the topic, good point. why would god be a micromanager if he existed anyway other than he is a control freak?explains so much of what is wrong with chrisitanity.
The cows appeared after a woman was imprisoned in some Islamic country for naming a stuffed animal Mohammed. The first cow is "Moo-hammed, the sacred cow"
ahh...I was afraid to make a politically incorrect joke about 'sacred cows', but it appears my instincts were quite good!thank you for bringing me up to speed!
can someone explain to me what integrity is? ive looked at definitions of it but i dont understand them, can anyone give me a simple definition and an example? thanks.
Integrity may be seen as the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. The term "hypocrisy" is used in contrast to integrity.
The best explanation I have for integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. If you slack off when the boss isn't around, and act like a hard worker when the boss is around, you have no integrity when it comes to your work ethic.
This is straight from Aristotle's theory of virtue. Its probably one of the best demonstrations of how morality exists only as a function from motivation, to action or belief - and breaks down once you talk about morality in terms of an imposed foundational rule as in divine command theory.
That's my whole point, how can you say he has integrity when there is always the idea that he could be doing what he does for fear of punishment or promise of reward?
It's been a while now since i paid any attention to him, but what i remember that impressed me was his subscribing to and seeming support of TheAmazingAtheist, his video about cellphone scams, and his respectful treatment of non-believers.
Basically, his behavior, not the "reason" for it.
Many theists proclaim their virtues but don't act virtuously.
This guy seemed to act on what he believes is true, and not to dump on others who disagree with him.
If you are talking about Jesusfreak777, his "virtue and integrity" include things like slavery, its ok to beat your slave to death for not corectly READING your mind and not doing what you want, women are 2nd class citizens, its ok for god to murder children for the "crimes" of the parent (for generations even).
Like most (all?) christians, this guy is flat out dangerous and EVIL. He is particularly evil in that he comes across as caring for people.
Has he actually done or even said what you allege or do you just mean some of the oldstyle religious stuff in the bible that he is stuck with (and probably ashamed of) because he has to believe that all that stuff is the "word of g-d"? (Thank g_d i'm not religious!)
i refer only to what i have seen and heard from him. Maybe he comes across as he is? Maybe not, but i don't personally know most (let alone all) christians so i would have to speak from prejudice to say such things myself.
This video got so many horrible post he took it off yt. But all you have to do is type in your yt search window "jezuzfreek777 slavery" and then let the freek show begin.
A twisted christian (but that is a redundent statement)
drS: Thanks. i see what you mean (sorry i can't see the original video, though).
Of course it's kinda sick to be stuck with the idea that the bible is g-d's eternal (timeless) word and that therefor all of it is somehow relevant to living today. From our modern perspective, given machines and Chinese to work for us, slavery is totally repugnant. Biblical-era folks, lacking these advantages, had a different attitude, and had slaves.
On the other hand, i really have to respect JF's courage. He really put his foot into a gigantic hornet's nest with this one.
But tackling a difficult (read impossible) issue like this one demands extraordinary courage and commitment. (Or: fools rush in where angels, rabbis, priests, theologians, even popes, fear to tread?)
Defending the bible's righteousness is a hopeless enterprise. Pity the guy who feels obliged to do so. Wrong as he is, i (perhaps alone) respect his courage to try.
It is fascinating that christians claim to be so moral, so loving, then suport something like slavery.That it is ok to beat your slave because he did not read your mind (Luke 12:47-48), that you can sell your daughter into sexual slavery (Exodus 21:7-11), and MANY MANY more.
I would have pitty on these such fools however their delusion is so great enough that it has encroached on my life.
So fuck all religions and ESPECIALLY fuck christianity.They are a horrible drain on humankind.
You are right enough that i won't argue with you any farther. Whatever you can do to help replace religion with something more functional would be deeply appreciated.
BUT, to be fair, the passage from Luke, not ignoring its context (Christians behaving badly when they think g-d isn't looking), the servant to be beaten has himself (verse 45) beaten the other servants and indulged himself and then got caught in the act (verse 46). This is a warning (of g-d's revenge), not permission to beat.
1. My copy (Oxford World's Classics, The Bible - Authorized King James Version) uses the word "servant", not "slave".
2. Verses 41 through 48 (Luke 12) are clearly a parable (short fictitious narrative from which a moral or spiritual truth is drawn) answering Peter's question on the previous parable. The point is: a good servant (Christian) does what he knows his absent lord (Jesus) wants of him, and bad behavior by those who know better (e.g. disciples) will be more harshly punished.
3. It is clearly Jesus, absent but returning at some unknowable hour, who will do the punishing. The use of a "lord / servant" story to make this point, in a time when such relationships were common (think "boss / employee" in modern terms) is no more a commandment than the similar use of "shepherd / sheep" stories.
The moral of this story is: "behave well while the boss is away", NOT "keep slaves and beat them for not reading your mind".
Yes they are used as parables, to teach points.You are correct.But the fact that god uses slavery as a teaching tool over and over in the bible, never once condeming it, telling people that they can beat their slave because the slave can not read their mind, yes a parable. Why did Jesus use this?
Jesus OBVIOUSLY acepts slavery, NEVER CONDEMING it, actually using it for his advantage.These verse are an aceptance of slavery in its most horrible form
Pauls letter to Philemon was Paul telling a run away slave to return to his master and do what ever the master wants, as this relationship is deemed good in gods eyes.
Slavery was so entrenched in biblical times/culture that no one questioned it.
The fact that Jesus uses slavery as a teaching tool absolutly shows his aproval.
His aproval of beating and killing slaves, having sex with them.And on and on as described in the bible.
No argument that, especially in the Hebrew scriptures, g-d approved of slavery, genocide, horrendous treatment of women and so on. Anyone who tries to swallow the bible whole as a moral guide for today has to choke on these facts.
Pity them and those they influence.
The teaching being conveyed was NOT how to treat slaves or servants, but how Christians should behave regarding Jesus'' commands and g-d's laws, but a tacit approval of slavery is undeniable and i don't deny it.
An all powerful, all knowing, all present god who love us would have IMMEDIATLY stoped slavery. That fact that he actually USES it (AT ANY FUCKING TIME IN HISTORY) says he aproves
If i recal you are not a christian, but you sure think like one. WAKE UP
He doesn't exist. To think otherwise is indeed Delusional.
Many of us prefer Delusion to Truth: it is not my job to convert them.
Most (all?) of us are living (more comfortably, i presume) in dreamworlds. How do you like the fact that your life (and all life) is TOTALLY meaningless. Wouldn't you rather dream that you and your life are somehow significant?
The fact that you think human life totally meaningless with out a god speaks volumes for you value for humans.Typical religious poo poo. The value of human life is not in a controlling god (? i still don't get that ?). The value of human life is to love each other and to learn as much as posible.God does not futher these ends.god promotes intollerence, fear and ignorence.Yeah a lot of people get comfort in thinking there is a god, but this clearly devalues human beings. contin
"Wouldn't you rather dream that you and your life are somehow significant?"
I prefer reality to delusion any day, and think it is actully about the worst crime agaisnt humanity to promote this delusion.If the message were just "god loves you, you are special, love everybody" i could go along with it. But your religion (Judism) along with all religions goes past this with all those terible things you and i are discusing.
So you go to temple and participate. Well you are suporting all these evils and that is a shame.
It is terrible your wife had to endure that kind of torture.
My wife died at age 40 after suffering from breast ca. for 5 years. I was told by christians that i was responsible for her death because i am an atheist. And if christianity is true (or judism) they are right, i did kill my wife. the bible has dozens of verses on how god will punish you AND your family for generations for not believing.
I am sorry to hear of the suffering that you and your wife experienced, including that imposed on you by those "christians". Perhaps i begin to see why you feel as you have expressed.
i have not participated in religious services for over eight years.
My wife was a devout presbyterian also. Infact we met at our youth group in church.(i grew up in a very religious house).
How many people lives have been destroyed by these lies? I bet FAR more then have been benefited. The mental anguish people are put through for being nothing more then wanting to deal in reality.
I find it pittyful you need a delusion to find meaning in your life.
sorry about all the bad spelling (doctors can't spell)
Do you know who Servitus was? He was a philosopher, a contemporary of Calvin. Calvin, (about the most praised minister in protestantism, he started it) had Servitus burned to death because he did not agree with his view of christianity.
And you are supporting this behavior (I know you go to jewish services but i really classify all religions as the same) by sitting in those seats, giving your money and what is more precious, your time and life.
It has been a pleasure posting with you. You are intelligent, it is quite clear. I bet you have had a very interesting life. good luck to you and yours. may you find what you are looking for my friend.
And please excuse my profanity, I'm sorry i get very cought up in things.
One more thing (sorry). To me the quest for knowledge is the ultimate high, it serves the better of all of us. I do not know what awaits all of us after death (probably nothing) but it really does give me goose bumps to learn somthing new. I believe this gives us meaning.Maybe not for eternity, but who wants to live forever my friend?
Ever heard of the black plague? This infectious disease that killed roughly 1/2 of the total european population in the 1200's i believe (the first wave). Well this plague hit before scientist figured out that diseases were carried by micro-organisms. Know what the churches solution to all these people dying of this very painful disease was?Bring them to church so we can all pray for them because illness is caused by evil spirits as tought in the bible. public records document cont
waves of hundreds of people dying about 7-10 days after going to church, the incubation period for the disease. At this point in history the human race could have literally been wiped off the face of the planet had people continued to follow their delusion. The only reason humanity survived was people began to notice that healthy people were living in the country side, away from highly dense populations, NOT GOING TO CHURCH.Black pleague is spread by infected mice living in the cities.
You are a missguided fool, who is doing humanity a great diservice, just like all the other peole who go to church who don't believe, but want to feel "significant".
I am trully sorry for your wifes expirience, but your life is not significant, because you deny the very essence of what it is to have a significant life: the search for the truth.
"My" life is insignificant because ALL life is insignificant. How "significant" is the totality of chemical reactions (including "life") on the surface of one planet circling one star out of a total of at least (literally) ten thousand billion billion stars? To "us" it is "significant". But in REALITY?
" I just love truth more then I hate religion, and respect integrity when I see it".
But then you say "wouldn't you rather dream that you and your life are somehow significant?" "Most of us are living(more comfortably, i presume) in dream worlds".
You, my friend, are an interesting study in the duality of the human psyche.
yeah slavery was normal back then. But I completely reject your assumption that it was because we did not have machines and god then aproves.That it was normal back then so he did not want to upset anything.Well i tell you, if he is our "Father" in heaven and he sees his children TORTURING each other for economic gain (for any gain) and he doesn't stop it, this god is a god of pure unadulterated EVIL.
Now that i think about it, your explanation is identical to jezuzfreek777 explanation on god's use of slavery- as a teaching tool: "slavery is a forshadowing of our relationship with god."-jezuzfreek777.
admit it you are a christian arn't you. I can tell by your attempts to justify god use of slavery.
Slavery foreshadows HIS relationship to his g-d, not "mine".
i am NOT a christian, though i was raised by Presbyterians, sang 10 years (as a child) in the choir, married a holocaust survivor and converted to Judaism to chant from the Torah at our son's Bar Mitzvah, divorced and began a new life in Munich (birthplace of National Socialism) as an Advaita-atheist inspired by a few Indian "gurus".
i just love truth more than i hate religion, and respect integrity where i see it.
Old testament was written in hebrew, New in latin and greek. Of course it's been changed many times. To take it all literally and apply it all to present life is pretty weird, to say the least. Anyone (including you) who supposes that "g-d approves of slavery" TODAY has a strained his credibility beyond the breaking point, but slavery was NORMAL in those days, and without machines (and Asians) it would still be normal TODAY.
So what your telling me is that god (who is ultimate love) at one time supported this horribly wicked institution for ECONOMIC reasons? God thinks it is ok when there are no machines? So why did not this loving god give mankind the fucking machines instead of slavery?The ultimate source of love says "hey use slavery for material gain"(!?!)
It is NOT straining anything to assume he would aprove of slavery in the modern times because that FUCK would have given us the machines back then cont
All gods are clearly figments of human imagination as are all of the characteristics (many of which are contradictory and logically impossible) ascribed to them. As i have no better alternative to offer people who comfort themselves with religions in the face of their certain death and the sufferings inherent in human life, i avoid trying to burst their bubbles out of normal human compassion.
In the Biblical times of unbounded cruelty, the writers tried to set some boundaries.
The Bible actually teaches that a believers "right-standing" before God has nothing to do with ones actions. Once a person is "saved" they are counted as righteous.
So, the daddy-in-the-sky has nothing to do with integrity.
In fact, because I am already counted as righteous, I am free to have integrity without worrying about if I am doing it good enough or if my motives are pure.
Being a Christian should free people to do good works.

Usual fanatic bullshit.
Theism is the believe in gods. A-theism is to NOT have that belief.
You couldn't be a god-hating atheist, or a devil-loving atheist. Both positions entail a belief in gods and devils which the atheist doesn't have - no devil to love, no god to hate.
Most atheists lack this belief in a god simply because there is zero evidence for it. It's not about us having positive evidence that there ARE no gods. It's the burden of the claimer to PROVIDE evidence.

i think that last thing he sadi is interesting: a christian being good without god watching is admitting atheism. i like how it portrays all religious activity as a societal attempt at moral consensus, which is exactly what the founders of all of the religions of the world were trying to achieve

Question: Why is the kettle boiling?
Atheist answer: Because the water's been heated to 100 degrees centigrade resulting in a change in state from liquid to gas.
Christian answer: Because I want to have some tea.
For more about how Atheists and Christians interpret evidence very differently, check out my channel.
atheistfriends 2 years ago
The problem with the christian answer is that it's not an interpretation of evidence, and it's not necessarily true. Really the atheist is answering a question of 'how' not 'why'. A better example would be:
Atheist: I don't know why [honest answer]
Christian: I know exactly why; "INSERT SPECIFIC REASON" [Dishonest because they don't really know]

Some atheists have done their homework, gone through the intellectual arguments for and against the existence of God, and arrived at a thoughtful atheistic position but most have no real understanding of what Christianity is.

The christian god does not care about integrity. He only cares about obedience and submission.
If Abraham had had some integrity, he would have told his god to go f*ck himself when he was ordered to sacrifice his child Isaac. And then god would have praised him for his integrity. But instead the bible god only cared about the obedience and submission of Abraham. This is the true face of this evil and corrupt god.

Morality isn't about working for a reward. If such were the case, then who's more moral, the person who wants to kill his boss through some shaudenfrede tastic style but doesn't due to the fact that it would mean the loss of his job (and him getting arrested...), or the guy who gets upset with his boss and doesn't even think of any form of physical harm, and/or is sickened by the idea of doing so?
sonic8005 2 years ago
Very true, but seen from the evolutionary perspective there is no "not working for a reward". If morality really didn't offer a reward it could never have evolved in organisms. So there has to be some kind of advantage to the individual.
The likely reward is that others sometimes notice the morality and become more trusting towards this individual. The advantage the person receives by this would have to be bigger then the penalty for being moral in cases where it is not noticed by others.

Integrity may be seen as the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regard to the motivations for one's actions. The term "hypocrisy" is used in contrast to integrity.

The best explanation I have for integrity is doing the right thing even when no one is looking. If you slack off when the boss isn't around, and act like a hard worker when the boss is around, you have no integrity when it comes to your work ethic.
Hope that clears it up for you.

This is straight from Aristotle's theory of virtue. Its probably one of the best demonstrations of how morality exists only as a function from motivation, to action or belief - and breaks down once you talk about morality in terms of an imposed foundational rule as in divine command theory.

If you are talking about Jesusfreak777, his "virtue and integrity" include things like slavery, its ok to beat your slave to death for not corectly READING your mind and not doing what you want, women are 2nd class citizens, its ok for god to murder children for the "crimes" of the parent (for generations even).

Of course it's kinda sick to be stuck with the idea that the bible is g-d's eternal (timeless) word and that therefor all of it is somehow relevant to living today. From our modern perspective, given machines and Chinese to work for us, slavery is totally repugnant. Biblical-era folks, lacking these advantages, had a different attitude, and had slaves.

It is fascinating that christians claim to be so moral, so loving, then suport something like slavery.That it is ok to beat your slave because he did not read your mind (Luke 12:47-48), that you can sell your daughter into sexual slavery (Exodus 21:7-11), and MANY MANY more.
I would have pitty on these such fools however their delusion is so great enough that it has encroached on my life.
So fuck all religions and ESPECIALLY fuck christianity.They are a horrible drain on humankind.
drServitus 2 years ago
You are right enough that i won't argue with you any farther. Whatever you can do to help replace religion with something more functional would be deeply appreciated.
BUT, to be fair, the passage from Luke, not ignoring its context (Christians behaving badly when they think g-d isn't looking), the servant to be beaten has himself (verse 45) beaten the other servants and indulged himself and then got caught in the act (verse 46). This is a warning (of g-d's revenge), not permission to beat.
prhughes0 2 years ago
No you are very wrong.
This is clearly permission to own slaves and to beat them when they do not do what we want them to do even when we do not tell them what we want.
The context of these verses are gods law FOR man.How man is to live his life, which involves owning other human beings.
drServitus 2 years ago
1. My copy (Oxford World's Classics, The Bible - Authorized King James Version) uses the word "servant", not "slave".
2. Verses 41 through 48 (Luke 12) are clearly a parable (short fictitious narrative from which a moral or spiritual truth is drawn) answering Peter's question on the previous parable. The point is: a good servant (Christian) does what he knows his absent lord (Jesus) wants of him, and bad behavior by those who know better (e.g. disciples) will be more harshly punished.
prhughes0 2 years ago
3. It is clearly Jesus, absent but returning at some unknowable hour, who will do the punishing. The use of a "lord / servant" story to make this point, in a time when such relationships were common (think "boss / employee" in modern terms) is no more a commandment than the similar use of "shepherd / sheep" stories.
The moral of this story is: "behave well while the boss is away", NOT "keep slaves and beat them for not reading your mind".
AMAZED to be an apologist for religion!
Couldn't help!
prhughes0 2 years ago
These are re-interpretations of these verses.
Yes they are used as parables, to teach points.You are correct.But the fact that god uses slavery as a teaching tool over and over in the bible, never once condeming it, telling people that they can beat their slave because the slave can not read their mind, yes a parable. Why did Jesus use this?
Jesus OBVIOUSLY acepts slavery, NEVER CONDEMING it, actually using it for his advantage.These verse are an aceptance of slavery in its most horrible form
drServitus 2 years ago
Pauls letter to Philemon was Paul telling a run away slave to return to his master and do what ever the master wants, as this relationship is deemed good in gods eyes.
Slavery was so entrenched in biblical times/culture that no one questioned it.
The fact that Jesus uses slavery as a teaching tool absolutly shows his aproval.
His aproval of beating and killing slaves, having sex with them.And on and on as described in the bible.
I think you proved my point.

No argument that, especially in the Hebrew scriptures, g-d approved of slavery, genocide, horrendous treatment of women and so on. Anyone who tries to swallow the bible whole as a moral guide for today has to choke on these facts.
Pity them and those they influence.
The teaching being conveyed was NOT how to treat slaves or servants, but how Christians should behave regarding Jesus'' commands and g-d's laws, but a tacit approval of slavery is undeniable and i don't deny it.
This point is proved.

The Bible actually teaches that a believers "right-standing" before God has nothing to do with ones actions. Once a person is "saved" they are counted as righteous.
So, the daddy-in-the-sky has nothing to do with integrity.
In fact, because I am already counted as righteous, I am free to have integrity without worrying about if I am doing it good enough or if my motives are pure.
Being a Christian should free people to do good works.
