DNA Proves Existence of a Designer

[Gwaithmir]

You're making a pretty lame excuse for a guy who was allegedly willing to be crucified for his principles. It's more likely from the above verses, that as a pious Jew, he believed that slavery was okay.

No, that really does not seem to the case according to the New Testament.


Ephesians 6:9 New International Version (NIV)
9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.


Colossians 4:1 New International Version (NIV)
4 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.


1 Timothy 1:8. 1:9. 1:10 New International Version (NIV)
8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

Still lame, since slavery is an abomination, regardless of how liberal you practice it. "Slave traders" in Timothy 1:10 does not refer to legitimate slave traders, but to those who kidnap men women or children to force them into slavery.
See that verse in the KJV = men stealers.
