    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    The opposite is true. You are speculating that God did not invent it despite God invoking it as a curse against Ham before being referenced anywhere else. If you are guided by Scripture, it is not an interpretation but a simple fact of history, according to the text. The speculation is to...

    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    Rather than copy and paste a link, I really to prefer to have a discussion. From your link So let’s be quite clear about one thing: the kind of slavery permitted by God was what might be termed ‘economic slavery’ (as described above). Slave trading (capturing people by force or deception...

    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    I'm afraid you are falling victim to deconstructionism. Slavery IS treating people as property - no matter what kind of slavery it is. Owning a car or house or renting a car or house is merely different durations of property rights - not different property rights. The small distinction is not...

    I take God's word over speculation. Don't you?

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    The reason feminists don't reject trans is feminism has embraced intersectionality of Cultural Marxism. It's the same with the absurdity of LGBT supporting Palestinian Islamists, who would throw LGBT off roof tops if they were in power. Cultural Marxism makes strange bedfellows when one looks at...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    @mink cannot accept that existence does not bestow automatic equality. In fact, to the extent matriarchal societies exist, they are dramatically inferior in success and passing the test of time. Like all collectivist ideologies, they ultimately fail the merit test. Capitalist countries foster...

    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    Tough lesson is the difference between being punished or cursed for one’s sin from being punished or cursed for the consequences of sin. I believe Ex 20 talks about curses to the 3rd or 4th generation. Elsewhere, God talks about blessing for either a 1,000 years or 1,000 generations (I forget...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    The interesting thing about Leviticus 21:16-20 is the prohibition has nothing to do with moral failing but an "accident" of birth. It goes to show that God discerns the holy, that set apart, even then. This actually goes against the Founding Father's claim that all men are created equal. Of...

    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    I'm reading a book now called Aunt Phillis's Cabin. The preface includes a powerful Biblical analysis, pointing out that God himself created the institution of slavery for Noah's son, Ham, humiliating the prophet of God, with the punishment being Ham's descendants would "serve" the descendants...

    Does The Bible Allow Slavery?

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    Every now and then, I come across Scripture that is a testament to the divine value of inequality. Leviticus 21:16-20 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 16 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 17 “Speak to Aaron and say: No one of your offspring throughout their generations who has a...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    Thus revealing the worldly foundation of feminism, seeking external validation from men … if only men did X… Now, a century later, feminists are less happy. They cannot humbly admit their ideology is inherently and fatally flawed for validation comes from a proper relationship within, with your...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    This is a great vid that invokes a decades long feminist activist lamenting how today's feminists undo all the work by objectifying themselves.

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    I've heard people move only 2% at a time. Hmmm. You are confusing persuasion with epistemological analysis. I have no real influence in the inner workings of one's mind. I can only point out facts, logic and moral (Biblical) principles. I've heard a funny explanation of what a Liberal is; one...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    Great! An alcoholic, new to Christ, new to living a life not controlled by alcohol may want to talk to all her alcoholic friends about the good thing she’s found in Jesus. Prudence cautions against it until there is some established pattern of recovery. Otherwise, instead of cleaning the dirty...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    This is true, not only for feminists but non-feminists, for women and for men. I feel we are like children, drawn to a shiny new object. Scripture teaches us to take all thoughts obedient to Christ. It is shiny and new but is it for us? Grace limits what we say to not only what is true but...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    There is a 106 yo grandmother who tells her 38 year old granddaughter that if you don't have a man, you got nothing. She has triumphed over feminism.

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    You ought to examine where this hate is coming from. I've said many times: Love women Hate feminism It's not arrogance but confidence, total confidence. Some ideas are evil. We are constantly told White Supremacy is bad. And I've pointed out the fact many times that feminism is the worst -ism...

    Strength and Honor: Triumphing over Feminism

    I caution you to be careful and suggest you answer the question I've asked numerous times before embarking on such a risky proposition. 2 Corinthians 6:14-15 The Temple of the Living God 14 Don’t team up with those who are unbelievers. How can righteousness be a partner with wickedness? How can...
