Why does this bother you? God's not commanding anybody to sell people into slavery. He's telling us the laws that govern that practice in societies that do practice that.
This is an example of what I was talking about. The church seems to think you have to sell your daughters into slavery and into potential marriage if you want to keep the law. No, those are God's rules for societies that have that practice. We do not have that practice in western society that I'm aware of, so, no, you do not have to sell your daughters into slavery to be in compliance with the law.
This is simple. Some laws do not apply to everybody. Some laws are already satisfied and do not require further fulfillment. Some laws are 'kept' in regard to the spiritual intention that the literal law pointed to and finds satisfaction in that way. And there are laws that remain as written for the people of God to keep.
LOL belly roll!
The Mosaic Law does not adjust for cultures or time periods. And again the Mosaic Laws are all or nothing...no options.
No, the Law did not require them to sell their daughters, the Mosaic Law regulated the process if they did.
The Mosaic Law did not require them to have multiple wives, but if they did the Mosaic Law regulated it.
If a man had five wives and he wanted another but could not support six, he could divorce his old cranky wife and marry a very young wife. A divorced Hebrew woman lived the life of an outcast....pretty much a death sentence....the Mosaic Law gave him that right.
If man found that his new wife was not a virgin, he could kill her and leave her body at her father's doorstep, the Mosaic Law gave him that right.
Now if the Israelites went to war they did not have kill all the men and male children and or babies, they did not have to kill all the non-virgins. But the Mosaic Law directed them to. And the captive virgins were breed, whether they liked it or not.
The Mosaic Law did not require men to own slaves, but it regulated it.
The Israelites may not have wanted to kill their disobedient children, but the Mosaic Law directed them to.
An Israelite might have chosen to forgive his wife for committing adultery, but he would be breaking the Law if he did not kill her.
If a woman that was engaged and a virgin, was raped in the city and she did not scream, she would be killed along with her raper.
If a woman that was a virgin but not engaged was raped...and it was discovered....the raper would be required to pay fifty shekels of silver to her father...marry her...and she would be raped for the rest of her life.
The Mosaic Laws are a harsh and cruel set of laws. Why did God do all that? I am sure He had a good reason...open for discussion.
Either way....specifically, in character, or spirit, they are not agreeable with Christ's teachings, examples, or love.
