These are the actual words of God. If we accept the morality of some things God says and reject the morality of others, then we would be making up our own minds on moral issues, and God would put us in hell for that. We must accept all of God's word, or noe and then make up our own mind on moral issues.
Soo, Pastro Nitro advises me to Obey God and I intend to do just that.
Pastor Nitro quotes from the New Revised edition of the actual words of God.
See, Letters to a Christian Nation, pp. 14-19. Thank You Sam Harris for YOUR words!

EASY REFERENCE GUIDE TO THIS MOVIE:
LEVITICUS 25:44-46
[44] As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are round about you.
[45] You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their families that are with you, who have been born in your land; and they may be your property.
[46] You may bequeath them to your sons after you, to inherit as a possession for ever; you may make slaves of them, but over your brethren the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another, with harshness.
==
EXODUS 21:7-11
[7]"When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do.
[8] If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed; he shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has dealt faithlessly with her.
[9] If he designates her for his son, he shall deal with her as with a daughter.
[10] If he takes another wife to himself, he shall not diminish her food, her clothing, or her marital rights.
[11] And if he does not do these three things for her, she shall go out for nothing, without payment of money.
==
EPHESIANS 6:5
[5]Slaves, be obedient to those who are your earthly masters, with fear and trembling, in singleness of heart, as to Christ;
==
1TIMOTHY 6:1-4[1]
Let all who are under the yoke of slavery regard their masters as worthy of all honor, so that the name of God and the teaching may not be defamed.
[2] Those who have believing masters must not be disrespectful on the ground that they are brethren; rather they must serve all the better since those who benefit by their service are believers and beloved.
Teach and urge these duties.
[3] If any one teaches otherwise and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching which accords with godliness,
[4] he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions,
I suggest you sit in a dark room and play the soundtrack real loud.
The actual words of god are terrifying. Surely we can act morally without them.
@ageshero Did you know tens of thousands of people were crucified? Jesus was only one of them. Even if Jesus had suffered greatly it is nothing in comparison to ETERNAL torture. Jesus is often characterized as meek and mild, which he was, and he had some good moral philsophy to share... However, Jesus brings with him hell. Hell is new and absolutely evil when Jesus comes along. Let me ask you something: what finite crime warrants infinite punishment? What could anyone do to deserve agony forver?

@Chibling Yo dawg. Chill Bro. Jesus loves you. He loves you so much that he took apon himself everysingle pain and shame we people have ever delt with, and then endured some of the worst physical suffering historically recorded i would think.
Just for us. Just remember. even when doubt is there, he still loves you, when you dont believe and even when you curse him.

do you use downriggers or just regular leads on the line?
windham666 1 year ago
Sure I did that.
Hey, the one problem with this international slavery ring is that you have to be an Israelite to pull it off.
But what I want to know is why you are complaining about it?
So what if it does 'promote' slavery?
You seem to be saying that is wrong or unacceptable?
Wrong by what standard?
Says who?
Hey.. a lot of societies benefited a great deal from 'international slaverism'.
So why are you complaining about it?

nice try changing the subject from the bible's promotion of international slavery to your non fear of non demons, choirboy.

It's called 'SWAG'. (Stuff We All Get) and its just one of the many implicit results that 'comes with' by default.
Certainly not the reason to sell out to Christ.
But yeah, I can't imagine what it must be like to be as infatuated with demons as you are.
Good luck with that.
ElProximo 1 year ago
wow how smart is it to think you have lifetime protections from demons by becoming a slave for jesus - very advanced thinking!
windham666 1 year ago
Here is where it gets so funny and comes back to your hilarious 'self-ownage' because a part of accepting Christianity is that demons lose all power.
For the Christian it may be just as if demons didn't exist.
They Devil is a 'defeated being' to the Christian.
but,
It is hilarious because you are so dumb, so ignorant you ACTUALLY don't know that and want to 'scare Christians' with something they see as weak and feeble.
D'oh!
