Quote (942767 @ Sep. 06 2008,12:31)It appears that the Israelites needed workers to help with the farming, and this was a way of supplying the labor.  The gentile families that sold themselves or their children into slavery apparently did it voluntarily.If I sell my daughter into slavery, is that a voluntary action on my daughter's part?You are…[Read more]

Still I think there is an important lesson here for those of faith and that is…[Read more]

Perhaps your beliefs have little in common with reality.Do you realize people have given their lives to defend the bible from criticism?Do you also realize that others have lost their…[Read more]
