No offense to you personally, but my experience here has shown that "thoroughly explained" means something different to me than it does to the religious. Care to elaborate?

Sure ill just copy/paste what I wrote earlier.

why we are no longer under the law:

Galatians 3:
23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,

27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Only those "in Christ" are no longer under the law. The laws only purpose is to put you under condemnation and show that you are a sinner, it has no saving qualities. Think of it as a policeman, if you are accused of breaking the law, it's only job is to bring you to the judge.

Ezekiel 18:20-23
20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die.


As you can see the penalty for sin is death (eternal separation from God), so either you had to die or something died in your place. This is where the sacrificial lamb comes in, except that the blood of an animal had no power to change the nature of the offender. in other words the sinner still had the same desire to sin that got him in trouble in the first place.

John 1:29
29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.


So now comes Jesus Christ who being born in a stable (symbolizing him as a lamb), "For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved" (John 3:17). His blood has the power to transform the sinner removing the desire to sin, by having his nature replace the nature of the sinners.

Romans 6:23
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

So now when the sinner accepts Christ and recieves his spirit , he exists in a state of "grace" (unmerited favor), because now when God looks at Him he doesn't see the sinner he sees Christ (perfection). Which means he cannot be judged under the law, because he is found blameless.

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

This btw is exactly what the Jewish passover was about, being passed over for judgement by applying the blood of a lamb to their doorposts.

Here, you started comparing servants in Dowton abby, with slaves, you fucking dumbass.

I said:
Quote:They were servants, not slaves. They were paid. They were free to quit whenever they wanted. And they were not allowed to be beaten to within an inch of their lives. Dumbass. It is not the same at all.

Then you said:
Quote:they were paid a pittance. here is part of a post I found describing life in that time period.

And it was to this that I replied, when I said, it doesn't matter, they weren't slaves.

And yet again you are lying and misrepresenting me. I never said, I didn't say any of that stuff. I said that you took a series of sentences of mine and made them look like answers to your sentence in an effort to make me look stupid and a hypocrite for talking about semantics. Go back and actually read what I wrote, or do you have trouble reading?

And you didn't answer me, what was the point in all this?

Look closely at the screenshot.
Do you see where you saying servant/slave is "semantics" and "Pathetic word games?"
Now at the bottom of the page do you see where you wrote..

"Its irrelevant how much they were paid. They were servants, not slaves."

making yourself look stupid and hypocritical (your words).

The point is, I think I'm owed an apology, you know, for basically being called a liar and all.

What I did, wasn't playing semantics at all. You were literally calling servants, slaves.....
You were completely denying slavery in the bible because your bible uses the word 'servant' instead of the word 'slave'. Despite all the verses that demonstrate that they were in fact slaves. That is playing semantics. Calling you out on your bullshit, isn't playing semantics. Servant and Slave have different meanings. Learn them.

let me see if I got this straight, you're saying the that because the Bible version that I have says "servant" instead of "slave", it doesn't matter, that's semantics. But "Servant" and "Slave" have different meanings?
