The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament

[Crossless2.0]

Yet that was thought so important that it was enshrined in the Law, as well as a host of ritual commandments that were obviously less morally significant than slavery or genocide.

Yeah, not buying it.

Or not understanding it.

The Ten Commandments was only a part of the total package known as Mosaic Law. The Israelites were obligated to the whole of the Law.

I hope your misguided moral indignation is not getting in the way of your comprehension of this.

Speaking of comprehension, I suppose it wasn't lost on you that I implicitly invoked the whole of the Mosaic law in addition to the ten commandments -- you know, the bit you quoted that mentioned ritual commandments? Did you really think I had the stone tablets in mind there?

But don't let your misguided sense of adequacy get in the way of understanding the plain meaning of another person's post.

And still not buying it.
