Leviticus 25:44
'Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves."


Seems like you wouldn't want to follow that.

All this is saying is Jews were peemitted to have slaves at the time, I son't feel a great need to have a slave. It is also saying Jews are not allowed to have Jewish slaves.

Do you believe it's alright to own slaves?

Yeah, and while it's good that your sense of morality is better than God's, nothing else about what you said is okay.

Wow, really? Owning another human being as property that you can pass down to your children and trade with.

Offer me a definition...the one that you had in mind when you decided to opine upon the issue, if you please.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Also a slave wasn't forced into slavery as they are today. People became slaves becaus hey chose to. If they couldn't provide for themselves rhey would sell themselves as a slave. Some chose to become slaves to have their needs provided by he masters. Masters were instruces on how to treat theie slave Deuteronomy 15:12–15 12 “If your brother, a Hebrew man or a Hebrew woman, is sold2 to you, he shall serve you six years, and in the seventh year you shall let him go free from you. 13 And when you let him go free from you, you shall not let him go empty-handed. 14 "You shall furnish him liberally out of your flock, out of your threshing floor, and out of your winepress."

Masters were also instructed to treat their slaves justly and fairly.

I am against modern day slavery, it is cruel, harsh and unjust. People are trapped and inslaved into it.

No, sorry Mr. "All the Bible is true", the Jews took slaves by force all the time, usually after destroying another tribe. We aren't talking about indentured servitude, and even if we were I would still be morally against it. The bible explicitly endorses slavery, there's no way you can backpedal out of that. I'm asking, do you think it's moral?


Oh, and that little thing about being required to free slaves after six years? That only refers to Jewish slaves, not other slaves, and you can still keep the Jewish slaves forever if you give them a wife and they have children and they don't want to leave their wife.

"Masters were instructed to treat their slaves justly and fairly"? Are you serious? You can beat the shit out of them as long as they don't die in a few days or lose an eye. I don't know what bible you're reading.

But again, the plain question, do you think slavery is moral, as it's endorsed by the Bible?
