What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Huggy Bear]

Very dishonestly you left off the explanation portion of the wiki article that explains why the term is non-sense.

I left nothing off, the wiki article was about ancient cultures in general, we're discussing Hebrew Law, a law in which there is a concept called jubilee in which every 50 years EVERYONE that was in bondage could go free if he chose to.

Biblical era

Ancient Israelite society allowed slavery; however, total domination of one human being by another (as the Israelites suffered under Egyptian rule) was not permitted.[16][17] Rather, slavery in antiquity among the Israelites was closer to what would later be called indentured servitude.[15] Slaves were seen as an essential part of a Hebrew household.[18] In fact, there were cases in which, from a slave's point of view, the stability of servitude under a family in which the slave was well-treated would have been preferable to economic freedom.[19] It is impossible for scholars to quantify the number of slaves that were owned by Hebrews in ancient Israelite society, or what percentage of households owned slaves, but it is possible to analyze social, legal, and economic impacts of slavery.

[...] (after all rape is pretty straight forward seeing how there has to be two consenting parties) [...]

Every time I think you've plumbed the depths of stupidity, you surprise me with another offering.

Also, I'm having a big chuckle at watching yet another Christian defend Biblical slavery.  This one is especially ironic, given that it is happening in a thread where Christians are arguing that only through their god do we have morality at all.

Was that too difficult for you to understand?

That's Buggy's standard operating procedure. There is not a person on this board that is more deliberately dishonest than Buggy. Winner!

Says the guy that flip-flopped all over the definition of the word "outreach"....

Read the bible quotes I provided for you. And then come back on how moral and justified and voluntary this is all supposed to be. Especially the part about having a wife and children, but having to leave one's family behind when being set free, since they are still considered the property of the slaver. But, yes, the slave himself can stay on voluntarily, with his family, for a lifetime of servitude.

Are you really that dense or are you playing the three monkey theme here?

If the servant came with a family then he could could take them, if the master provided the family then he had to wait till jubilee to take them... got it?
