thanks for your comment and understanding of Christ message through Mk;4 and other part of the gospel ,

your scripture quote was very helpful and so refreshing this verse was also one of the best ,18
But the eyes of the LORD are on those who fear him, on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,

this make me think on the PRODIGAL SON even as one of his son departed the father kept his love toward his son ,and when the son in his heart looked back his life from the time he left his father’s house until he was eating with the pigs and treated like one of the domestic animals himself and realized what he as done and now the time he saw inside of his own heart to make a change and took the road back to his father’s house

may God bless you and yours

Hi Marty

thanks for your payers ;

2 Cor;5
Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
6
Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
7
For we live by faith, not by sight.
8
We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
9
So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

hope that you and yours are OK>

More time wasting. Do you realise how precious people’s time is Terr.
==================================================

over 7 years ago I join your site i was already diagnosed with cancer ,since then I have received treatment,a few months ago I was send home to die for they could not do anything for me ,at my last scan they told me the cancer spread through out my body and bones ,I am feeling lot of pain so I am on pain killers ,I may have a few weeks/months/per ups one year ,I am now 76 years old ;my family try to cope with all of this ,yet I welcome my death for I know my great tribulation will be over ;my spirit is strong as ever ,please don’t feel sorry for me for I feel sorry for you that you haven’t see the truth of God

and you ask me how precious is time ?

now please take the 4 gospels and see what it says in all of them not just pick one verse that seem to tell you that he teach them when on the other he says that he never spooked to them without parables ,has you say if you think you have learned anything from all Jesus parables with Jesus explanations (teachings the meaning )

and the reason for Jesus not to speak to the crowds plainly was so the prophecy would be fulfilled ;

I am sorry you feel that way but my time is also limited so if one day i stop to respond that will be the end of me ,may God bless you all

you never answered my questions and so in words you may have a “yes” but in truth it is a NO end of this story

[terraricca]

t8

yes i am right ,for that scripture addresses adult people ,not children ,and Paul mention it is through understanding that we conclude that all things came to be through creation

you selling me back what I have told you

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 ,

[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

[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

Hi david
If I told you two things:

1. love your slave. 2. You may beat slaves.

How would this be understood?
==================================

in the lod times you ad also trade people they are also slaves but with pay and independant

but like today you have those slaves that are not trained in anything and so become household workers ,or general labors ,those ad regulations how to behave with the masters ,

some nations practice children labor slave still today ;this in the western world with christian views condemn this type of slavery ,but this is also the result of poverty and the need to survive other slavery are sexuality perversion

there are many things that should not exist but does ,satan did not do us any service

[terraricca]

hi David

I am a old man ,

your reasoning seem to me normal ,but if you look at the people that loved God and that God loved ,behavior you can see that they do not practice slavery ,nor abuses ,while punishment for bad behavior must be dealt with ,in a constructive way

even the Roman officers that came to Jesus or to Peter look how they were treating their household and slaves ,

I also believe that in the scriptures I have read that anyone living in Israel was to be govern as a Israelite slave or no slave for the land was given by God to Israel as a blessing ,

the reason for the violence is from wicked nations ,and Israel was worn not to live like them ,

nothing in this regard as ever changed from God ‘s point only men drifted away from God and his righteousness

hopefully this will eventually come to a end so my faith tell ‘s me

there are many things that God as to put up during our existence but this is why it say that we all be judged for what we have done and said

God plan as never changed we have

if what you say is true why can you not answer my questions ?

when the apostles ask Jesus why he speak to the people in parables ,and he never spoke to the crowds without parables ,he said it is the prophecy

that says ;the have ears but do not hear ,they have a heart but do not understand (this is by memory )

and tell me you have the parables do you understand them ? how could you understand them if no one teaches you ? like Jesus did to his apostles and Philip to the Ethiopian ?

[terraricca]

it will depend on the things my environment teaches me

[terraricca]

hi David

and yes you right God in his laws ad covered the slavery but not the abuse on slavery in Israel ,the abuses were ban in Israel by law

but many times Israel broke the law and so they lived without God abusing their slaves even their less fortunate brothers

all those things are /have been seen by God ;but in due time we all be judge for the things we have said and done ,justice will prevail at the end

all those things happen to separate us as wicked or righteous ones

remember that Adam and Eve had eaten of the tree of the KNOWLEDGE of good and bad ; and so we have through the ages taste the good and bad understanding of what it is to be following God or not following him

to do this Adam and Eve lost their lives but we also did

[terraricca]

David

anything that would make your fellow men lower than you in the power you would have acquired from your personal ability ,this would I consider abusing

even if you tread animals without respect it would mean abusing them for they have not been created by God for that purpose

this remind me about the story of Jacob’s sons and their sister Dinah that was taken by the son of another family group and end up by the killing of all males ;Jacob was left destroyed in his soul that his son could do a thing like that ,

old practice are not necessary good but it was the way of live ,without God this is what happen ,

in our modern day it is not better the powerful feeds us with lies ,teach us lies ,and bring us to war that can be avoided but for the interest of a few they will go, and destroy millions sad ,but without God this is what happen

please do not forget that it is men corruption that give birth to those abuses as degrading they can be ,this is what happen without God

[terraricca]

David

when people start to grow in numbers things start to change ,the fact that people are not behaving has they should in love /nothing as changed since those days ,some groups as been formed and destroyed for selfish reason ,it is true that morality can only exist if we all agree on its application ,

but in the eyes of God abusing of your fellow man is a sin a terrible sin for those that practice slavery

[terraricca]

morality ? love your fellow men and love your enemy end of story

[terraricca]

well let see the beginning of human history /all people had enough land to do his own thing according to his own will ,

so tell me what happen that things took a turn ? from there
