Let me help you out: There's no passage where he tells people not to beat little children, therefore beating little children was okay with him. There's a new argument for you." You are trivializing the brutal and entirely inhuman institution of slavery--undoubtedly the most vile immorality that has sullied the hands and hearts of humanity ... No, I'm not. Lets think about something else vile and immoral - infanticide, the murder of infants. This was common, moral and legal in the Greco-Roman world. Jesus didn't say a word about it. Thus you could falsely claim he supported infanticide. --------------------------------------------------- Jesus DOES speak about slavery. He counsels the slave to remain a slave. I know of no passage supporting that statement. Paul did counsel a runaway slave to return to his master and counseled the master to be kind to his slave. ------------------------------------------------- When he speaks to a gentile (to cover some more of your post) he only consents to heal her child when she admits that her race is like a dog begging for crumbs. Abandoning the topic of slavey, you go on to accuse Jesus of ethnic hostility. In response to a statement that he'd been sent to the house of Israel, a gentile woman beseeching him for healing used such a metaphor. You can make what you can of that - Jesus is recorded as interacting with a number of non-Jews and he doesn't sound like a bigot overall. ------------------------------------------------- He took the time to say many times to Honor your parents (although he never did himself and had real contempt for families)--but he had no time to say that slavery was inhuman and must be stopped?? But time to turn over the tables of the "evil" money changers. OH, YES! And time to throw a fit of pique at a fig tree. OH, YES! You are right. As a moral guide he had NOTHING to offer. As a person of common decency he had NOTHING to offer. "Not of this world"?? Yeah...that sounds about right, too... You've merely established your hostility and hatred to Jesus. That makes you very unique. Most of the people of the world respect and honor him even if they're not Christians.
