Re: Why is Slavery Considered Bad?

You call me ignorant, yet completely deny simple truths of life. If you look at it, the reason that many of the dark skinned group have a lower average IQ score is due to lack of education, not nature. In quite a few places in Africa, school is not an option for most kids. Here in America, the recovery from racial descrimination still has us separated. Look at L.A. for example. The houses there were divided into whites and minorities. Due to the white supremacy of the last several decades, the whites were given the better schools, the better jobs, and better houses to live in. A hard working black person could not get the same enucation as a white person, and could not do as well in life because of this. THIS is why the IQ scores are so different. Besides that, if whites should be able to control blacks due to a higher average IQ, then shouldn't the Asians and the Jews, who BOTH surpass the whites have control of us?

No way, that's bonkers!

Jews and mongoloids aren't smarter than white people, they're just more cunning... cunning enough to cheat on an I.Q. test, for sure!

Right, because when you are proven wrong, turn it around by making outrageous accusasions with absolutely no support to back it up. The simple fact is the idea that whites are automatically the superior race and everyone above us cheated, and everyone below us should not be allowed rights just shows the completely ignorant views of many of the members of this forum. Please, look at this from a realistic point of view, and see how rediculous these claims are.

What about the Holy Bible? That is the ultimate authority on all matters great and small. The KJV Bible is actually the LITERAL Word of God.

I'll bet you didn't know that.

[Question Of You]

Re: Why is Slavery Considered Bad?

I have just accepted I'll never understand the twisted secular mindset, but that doesn't mean I am not bothered by it.

In my morning devotions I was in Ephesians and read JESUS' beautiful words regarding slaves:

Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; -Ephesians 6:5

The Holy Spirit impressed me to cross reference servants and masters.

Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. -1 Timothy 6:1

JESUS was clear that slaves should be content under the rule of their masters, and that their masters were to be regarded as GODly and honorable.

While this may seem contrary to what crackpots like Abraham Lincoln would have you believe, the master/slave relationship is a noble one, and a mirror of our own relationship to our benevolent owner and shepherd, JESUS CHRIST.

If slaves couldn't learn to love and obey their masters on Earth, how would they ever learn to love and obey their Master in Heaven?

One reason slavery is looked upon with disdain in our society is its association with violence. People, especially in the United States, conjure up images of illiterate black people being whipped and beaten for their laziness by white slave owners in the deep south.

But whose fault is that? If I break into a jewelry store and am caught and punished is it the police's fault? Is it the court's fault? No, it's my fault.

Obedient slaves have nothing to fear from their masters.

And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. -Luke 12:47

As for slaves who accidentally break the rules, they too are to be punished:

But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. -Luke 12:48

Even still, JESUS is merciful and orders that the slave be beaten with few stripes! Praise Him!

When much is given to us, such as a slave shack to live in, slave food to eat, and the freedom to marry slaves and make slave babies, much is also required in return, and we must not be selfish on ungrateful!

To reject slavery is to reject GOD's plan for us!

And to reject slavery is really to reject all the goodness that GOD has bestowed on us, His well-treated slaves!

Something about beating, raping, degrading, owning, and not treating another human being equally just didnt sit right with people so decided someone thing was wrong with that.

This board doesnt have private messaging so I cant discuss why I got a infraction/warning for this post with the moderator. What I would like to know is why "Ignoring the bible" a reason for an infraction? I in no way was saying anything about the bible, it was just a common sense post about treating other equally.

Your "common sense" is contradicting the Holy Bible. My own common sense tells me that this means you are wrong and God is right.

Yes but isnt this a free forum where people can post their opinions and what not despite having different views? Last time I checked I didnt disrepect anyone or the material in the bible nor what anyone believes. What you do is your own business and I respect everyone's free will. If the forum isnt like that, where people arent allowed to express themselves if their views are different, even on a very polite note, then thats what causes a problem instead of everything being calm and cool. Putting someone down because they dont have your point of view is not really the best thing to do. Theres no point in going out of your way and doing that, because according to what you believe I'm gonna burn for what I said so theres no real reason to insult me or go out of your way to be malicious for expressing myself.

Nonsense. If someone is ignoring the crystal clear instructions in God's Holy Bible we have to put them down.

2nd Timothy 4:1-2 "I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine."

1) "No" - So then this forum you either have to be forced into someone elses form of thinking or what they believe, which is brought on by insults and expect everyone to be happy? Or expect other people to not come to this site and troll you for that very forum of thinking?

2) "Check again" - I did, now find me the part where I insulted you and said I was superior. Because I can easily show you where youre doing that to me, and still are.

3) "Nonsense" - Did you ever think that doing that isnt the best way to go about a situation? Clearly, as you can see right now it causes fights and trouble. Refer to number 1. Clearly the way youre handling this situation isnt the best way judging by the reactions you're getting by people who dont follow what you say.

1) Yes, no one has to be politically correct. But not being politically correct doesnt mean tarnishing someones name, calling them inferior, and insulting them.

2) Ill take that as you admitting not being able to find what you're accusing me of.

3) I couldent care more, which is why I atleast try to make an effort for you to consider what I say (not force you into it) so that you would understand my point of view and come to a compromise or have an understanding of whats going on rather than fighting.

Insulting someone isnt telling them the truth, thats insulting their character and value as a human being.

No I did read them (like I said already), its just you cant find anything to nit pick at me with so you just said I insulted you when I didnt.

I'm sure you think that. Unlike you I consider everyone opinions regardless they believe. So for your own sake and mine I'll just ignore you since clearly this is getting nobody no where and all you want to do is argue for the sake of not admitting some valid points I have.

You haven't shown that we're Biblically wrong in the slightest, so instead you're just going to pout. You should consider God's opinion, which, as you have already been told, is the only one that counts.
