If you lack the ability to think for yourself, which you clearly do, I ask what you are doing here?

“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5)

I’m here to:

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.” (2 Timothy 4:2)

But your attitude proves the next verse:

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;” (2 Timothy 4:3)

Are you objecting to the slavery, or the physical abuse, or both perhaps?

We have a dim view of slavery in our modern world. But it was part of life back then.
If a nation conquered another nation, the people were either slaughtered, or taken as slaves.
Given the choice, which would you choose? Death, or enslavement?
Most people have been sold lies. The belief in external rulership and government IS the belief in slavery. This is not an opinion or a belief. This is fact. Let's not sugar coat things and make excuses. The most powerful words a person can say is "I was wrong". This is self ownership and souvrainty at its core.

God gave us Truth, morality and freedom. Man gave us toxic belief systems, lies and slavery.
Was not slavery in that day sometimes an act of morality?
Saving the live of a captured person? (due to war)

Ephesians 6:5-7 NIV
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear,
and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you,
but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart.
7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people,

Colossians 3:22 NIV
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it,
not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor,
but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.

Colossians 4:1 NIV
Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair,
because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.

1 Timothy 6:1-2 NIV
All who are under the yoke of slavery should consider
their masters worthy of full respect, so that God’s name
and our teaching may not be slandered.
2 Those who have believing masters should not show
them disrespect just because they are fellow believers.
Instead, they should serve them even better because
their masters are dear to them as fellow believers
and are devoted to the welfare[a] of their slaves. ...

Jesus said that unbelievers, (never born again).... specifically, are. "YOU are of YOUR Father, the Devil, and the LUSTS of your Father, you will DO".

You just described some of the deeds of the children of the Devil, Zachariah.

You can add : Rape, Torture, Child Porn, Blackmail, Porn, Hatred, Greed, Envy, Murder, Incest, Strife, Confusion, Madness, Sex Trade, Sex Slavery, Sociopathic Behavior, Alt Sexuality as a Lifestyle. Demon Possession, War, Lying about the Bible, ... all immorality... and that is only a small sample of what "Children of the Devil" enjoyed today.
And they'll be back for more, tomorrow.

I’ll take the Bible’s explanation of the terms, thank you very much!

You can ignore and toss it away if you choose…
And you may stay a slave to the system and your own ego with an inability to be able to think for yourself. You are a sheep in a bad flock. You are an order follower, and when we follow orders we do not practice conscience, and when we do not practice conscience we are in every case immoral. The modern day slave of Egypt with an ideology that has no hope for freedom.

I would argue that morality is making the right decision given the situation.


Who decided what "Right" is?


A feeling?

Opinion?

Situation Ethics ?

Whatever produces an outcome that hides what a person did and keeps them out of Jail, or from being discovered as being a sex Pervert ??

"well behold, see, there is this thing...this, innate something....this cosmic knowing, this....inner STOP SIGN, that self informs"

Uh huh.
Uh huh..

Who put that in you?
Buddha?
Led Zepplin?
AC-DC ?
Lady GAGA ?
CNN ?
Walt Disney?
Tic Tok
A Pipe Dream?
LSD?
The Satanic Bible?
The Queen James Bible?

That THING in you that shouts..>"dont steal, dont lie, dont murder, dont do that again"......is that just "brain stem physiology".

Guess again, Reader.

You can say that truth is not relative. Not sure about morality.

Please, I know you are intelligent enough to see through moral relativity. This is at its very core what is wrong with the world, the belief that Truth and morality are at the discretion of man. Morals are in every case based in Truth.

Anything that is subject to change is not perfect and will eventually perish. As by the Will of God.

O please!

How did following orders work out for Abraham?

“…now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.” (Genesis 22:12)

“…Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God.” (James 2:23)

and when we do not practice conscience we are in every case immoral.

When you practice “conscience” in defiance of God YOU ARE IMMORAL!

Spare me your human logic!

It’s disgusting!

Get your eyeballs in the word of God and be exercised of this foul spirit!

God does not practice order and controle, he practice's guidance with the understanding that everyone is souvrain and ultimately make their own choices. Guidance in alignment with free will. Not orders in alignment with control.

This is the difference between a magician and a sorcerer. Or... Jesus and the Pharasee.

A magician gives guidance in accordance to the will of God. A sorcerer gives orders in accordance to his own will.
