- There is an estimates 40 million slaves today around the world. What are we doing free these people? Nothing. What have we learned?
- But you refuse to educate me. Ok.
- It is a god instituted slave beating policy. Read the bible. So the slave that is being beaten deserves it becasue of sin but the owner doesn't although they sinned?
- What a great guy. So instead of killing immediately they can leave then to die for two days. Your religion has caused you to think immorally.
- This makes no sense. Would you elaborate?
I will try to explain, but remember, I warned you that this is complex beyond what is considered human. In these matter you are like a toddler expecting to take the wheel of a jet. And the appropriate answer is rightly "Ask your father", or "Wait until you are older." Or worse, you're 35 and need to be told to "Grow up." So, yes, we can talk, but you will learn nothing by maintaining that attitude.
But let's give it another try.
1. The object of slavery is not to free the slaves in the way that you have purposed. The object is to free people like you who are virtually asleep and have not woken up to the reality of eternal slavery and the consequence of going against God. It is people like you who have not learned. You are the reason the world continues to experience slavery. Sorry, grown up answer. You asked for it.
2. I am not refusing to educate you. It is I who am being refused.
3. & 4. You misunderstand (and I told you so). Pleas pay more attention. The God-given laws regarding slavery, are his way of saying, "If you insist on do your mischief, take it outside...and no hitting below the belt!" Which he does to limit the abuses we would otherwise indulge in.
But to understand the seemingly unfair differences between the master and the slave, you simply aren't ready for - but, again, you asked for it: The answer is, all of this is no more real than painted-on blood in a animated cartoon. On the contrary, God is real. And yet, if this is your only reference point, and you have not determined that everything that is not right in the world points to some greater meaning about the actually reality of life...then you would never know for lack of perception. But no one is blaming you. Parents don't tell their children tales of Santa Claus, etc., to keep them in the dark or lie to them, they do it because they love them and want to give them the time they need to come into the greater realities of life. But...on the other hand, if you in your teens, and still in that adolescent place thinking you want to make a home of never, never land...then, this is on you. At some point you are suppose to have a talk with your parents...but if you deny your parents, again, it's on you. Your perspective has made you blind.
5. The actual slavery that the common slavery known to man only depicts, is the reason for the common slavery. It is merely the antidote. When you have all the information, when you come to know the whole truth, then you will come to realize that the tale of Santa Claus was an antidote to being nice rather than naughty. Likewise, this unreality slavery antidote (among other things) is in place to show the difference between life and death eternal. In other words, slavery is to freedom, what life without God is to life with God. The one is death, while the other is life. In other words, unbeknownst to us, we chose life without God thinking it too was life, and yet it ends in death. This entire human experience of waiting until that day when we die, is to show us that it is in fact not life at all...during which time, we can opt back into life with God.
