Is slavery wrong?

[terraricca]

hi David
Satan is not the one who seems to be regulating, condoning, and allowing the system of slavery among the Hebrews.

=================================================

satan is the one that introduced that it is ok to go against God’s command ,and that we can do whatever we want ,well that is what is going on ,you seem not to be happy of what is going on ,and you are not the only one ,

God did not bring wickedness into the world man did ,God as always help those that love him ,but satan challenged God and so things are to be work out in time ,

all sort of wickedness are sins that God reject ,the only thing we personally can do is stay away from wickedness and obey God will

for it is God vengeance not ours

Is slavery a sin?

[terraricca]

hi David

having a person at your service is not a sin but if you mistreated him this is a sin ,for it is not a righteous thing to do ,just as it is to mistreading your children ,look when God created man he give him a garden with all good things ,God did not create Adam to become a slave ,God made a god out of Adam on earth ,

it was when he disobey that man cut his own supply of good things ,

sin is the disobedience to God ,
God did not say to cain to kill his brother he even worn him not to do so ,violence came to the earth this was not God’s plan

hi David
Is slavery a sin?
=================================

were does slavery comes from ? first it comes from men

but why does it exist ? it could exist for helping others after a disaster like flood/drought /fire ect

it could happen because some in a group or family clan is smarter or stronger in a way that all other accepting his rule /guidance

and other ways

but what make it bad ? it is when those that rule the clan/household/.. become driven by ego/self serving views/emotionally disconnected/become brutally /violent/sexomeniac /pervert

all those things are sins ,

Slavery isn’t a sin in the bible but to most people nowadays religious or not it is wrong.

I’ve had people try to tell me that the Israelites were actually trying to convert/save their neighbors.Maybe if the fiery pillar appeared and said to the heathen,hey chase away your pigs,circumcise yourselves and we’ll be a happy family,I might believe that.But that was never the case. Or they were so evil they were beyond redemption back then,but now God can save anybody even the worst of sinners. It just shows how times change and God and religion do to.

“It seems like we are almost saying god is a victim or a bystander to this practice of slavery.  Yet all he had to do was say: “you shall have no slaves.”  And: “you shall not beat slaves.”  Had the nations around been having slaves and the Hebrews stood out as different, thousands of years ahead of the rest of the world, it would have been miraculous.  Morally progressive and ahead of everyone else.  They seemed to be like the nations around them as far as their morals go.  They essentially committed genocide on several tribes but kept the Virgins for themselves.  Those were in modern terms “sex slaves.” ”

In good evangelical fashion just overlook the devil in the details especially when the devil happens to be God!

If sin is disobedience to god, then it would seem that slavery is not a sin.  For god apparently regulated it, and never spoke negatively of it.

 

If god said: “slavery is okay,” then it would be moral to have slaves.

And if of god said: “slavery is a sin,” then it would be immoral to have salves.

Is it arbitrary or does God base his ideas on anything?  Had he said: Lying and rape are good, then these would be good?  Or is there some outside thing that can tell us how we come to know what is good or bad?
