"Thus you could falsely claim he supported infanticide."
Of course, I do not believe in the Jesus myth whatsoever. But you are right. A true teacher, a true guide, would have had much to say against the vile crime of infanticide. But I don't suppose it was considered immoral by Jesus, was it?? What does God say about it?
1 Samuel 15:3
"Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass."
Psalms 135:8
"For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.
He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.
Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast."
Psalm 137:9
"Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones."
"Paul did counsel a runaway slave to return to his master and counseled the master to be kind to his slave."
Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.
Eph.6:5
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Col.3:22
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
1 Tim.6:1
Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again; Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
Titus 2:10-11
Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.
1 Pet.2:18
"I know of no passage supporting that statement"
Luke 12:45-48
"The lord [owner] of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he that knew not, and did commit things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few stripes. For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
Now, be reasonable, please. Slavery is actively supported by God in the Old Testament. The New Testament is the guidebook for Christianity. It mentions slavery many t9imes--each occasion being an opportunity to record God's opposition to ther practice. Neither, Jesus, Paul, Peter, nor anyone else voices any opposition while they are on the subject. Conclusion: THEY HAD NO OPPOSITION TO THIS DEGRADING PRACTICE. YOU KNOW IT. I KNOW IT. EVERYBODY KNOWS IT. |
