One question for Christians

[Drich]

That is honest, but only if you grant that every word god supposedly said is equally good and right. If you grant that, then ok. The bible supports slavery, will you say that is good, because god said so, and it's his standards you live by?

you're new and are assuming that i am one to say all slavery is bad all of the time, i am not one how would say this. I say slavery has iit's place and it context, under the conditions in which slavery was condoned I do say slavery was good and a righteous act.

it sets a patern or precedence in which the slaves/servants of God to know and understand the process that is before them that will transform them to sons and daughters.

Christians would often say this part is a metaphor, this part is the old testament, jesus didn't really mean sell everything you have, on and on and on.

it just depends on the christians you speak with.

If you can really interpret what god actually commanded, and what he meant as a metaphor and which part of the old testament doesn't apply, It's high time you revamped the bible so the rest of us aren't so confused.

it's simple. if your an OT Jew or are striving to be one then your life and your righteousness is tied to your life and deeds to reflect the whole of the OT, to find your right-ness before God. If you were not born an OT jew then know your righteousness/right-ness can only be found i what is known as the NT.

What about all those burnt offerings in Leviticus which were a sweet smell to God?

Ummm, yeah... Those were a lie according to Jeremiah. "God never commanded, blah blah blah..."...

Jerri spoke to a specific situation.
