Oh, I'm sorry; was Paul wrong when he said "All Scripture Is God-Breathed"? It's not like there's any indicator which says what was written by men and what was written by God, so by your logic, that means EVERY WORD IN THE BIBLE is suspect. Be careful how you swing that double-edged sword around.

Stop deflecting. Either every word in the Bible is from God, or it isn't. Since there's no indicator of which is which, none of it can be trusted to actually be from God. Also, Jesus himself said that not a single letter of The Law would change until the earth itself was gone. That includes Ex 21.

Well, one thing is sure, you believe it all is. I believe men wrote the Bible and finished it in Nicene in 326 ad with some help from Constantine. Oh and his mother.

This is especially significant when you consider the fact that Ex 21 (which immediately follows the 10 Commandments) begins with God himself telling Moses "these are the laws you are to set before them". God is the one speaking in this chapter, following on from chapter 20.

...unless you're saying that the words of God and Jesus found in the Bible are not authentic, of course. Is THAT what you're saying? Are you capable of giving straight answers? Or are these self-serving deflections genuinely the best you can do?

You said "God said*, fact. When questioned, you said "Paul said*, fact. In my logic that's a big leap. It's a leap worth noting before talking in sword metaphors. I'd like to nail that fact down. IF your initial premise stinks you can draw crap conclusions. GIGO !
may 18, 2025, 2:15 pm • 0 0 • view
I said "God said" because Ex 21 says God is the one talking. When you questioned that, I asked you whether another part of the Bible, which claims that ALL of the Bible is God-breathed, was true or not, and expounded on the implications of what you were saying. This isn't complicated.

You seem to have a loose relationship with scripture, and a lack of reading comprehension skills. Slavery is a fucking atrocity, and the God Christians worship is a fucking monster. The only way you'd think I was attempting to justify slavery after reading what I said is that you were TRYING to.

It's worth remembering, as a secondary thing, that the planter class was also an enemy to everyone outside their class. The book "Bitterly Divided" describes how they forced secession through legislatures by violence and let people go hungry while they raised cash crops.

They are not tied to ongoing cruelties, nor does anyone try to ignore that they are sites of cruelty. When we talk about castles, we talk about dungeons. When we talk about Aztecs, we talk about sacrifices. When we talk about plantation houses, some people talk about weddings.

I don't see your point in the idea that a black person had a wedding at a plantation isn't really a point, especially in response to my point that the US tries to ignore the history of plantation houses as sites of oppression. Unless I am missing something - could you please clarify?
may 19, 2025, 3:00 am • 0 0 • view
Cannot talk for him, but I assume that if the back people have weddings there, they are no longer symbols of cruelty to black people. One symbol of how times have changed is that black people can own houses like this or former plantations. Btw. what do You mean by "US tries"? You are the US.

I'm weighing one black person having a wedding against the much larger number of black voices I am hearing right now. There's no such thing as 100% agreement. Just like my own statements disprove nothing about parts of the US whitewashing our history.

We should burn down any place treated as a monument to slavers. How does that sound? If someone wants to maintain something like this as a MEMORIAL, the way Auschwitz is maintained, that's good and proper and fine. It should not host weddings or be used as an example of beauty.
