Why do you suppose Jesus never condemned slavery?

I don't think you understand RL...no one is making any harsh claims about the videos you link...or claiming that they are not worthwhile...others are asking you to explain what you personally find worthy, so that they can discuss your positions with you...and exp;lain theirs...and are willing to engage you, and the videos you post...they can not have a discussion with anything that anyone in those video, and explain their own positions...and they can not explain how they agree or disagree with someone that is not presently here, simply in a video feed...

My point is that I cannot answer anything said in the video. If you think there is anything worth sharing in the video...share it. Then I can answer or respond to you.

I did share it Frank, "I shared the whole ten minute video with you.
I was not meaning to waist your time but rather share a video with others that is shorter than a game of golf that is less than three holes long.

Don't worry about it Frank because you would find it as boring as playing three holes of golf.

Just do not like videos, RL. If you want to say something about whatever tickled your fancy in this one...do so. I will comment on whatever you share.

I can relate with you to a degree Frank, If you were to share an 8 track with me I may also find it boring.

Fil Albuquerque shared this video with me and others and I do have to admit that it is over my head a bit but I am still thankful that he shared it.

Quite so, SpadeMaster. Good to see you back.

I'd comment on it, but I don't watch videos offered in these threads. If you want to tell me what you enjoyed about it, I'd be willing to discuss your thoughts on it with you.

That will never happen. RL once spent three entire pages of a thread telling me to watch a video by David Icke. He would not, because he could not, summarise the content into a few words. All he kept saying was just watch the video.

Why do you suppose Jesus never condemned slavery?

He said love your neighbour. Isn't that condemning slavery?

Because His Kingdom was not of this world.

He condemned fornication and as all inequalities are due to fornication

He condemned the lot. He said do as you would be done to. Isn't that condemning slavery? He said love your neighbour. Isn't that condemning slavery?

. . . Nope. He also said he was not here to change the law . . .

Let's get this one small point straight, Frank. Jesus said "“Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill . . ." (Matthew 5:17)

You see, Frank, the purpose of the law was to point the way to the Christ. As Paul said: "Consequently the Law has become our tutor leading to Christ, that we might be declared righteous due to faith. 25 But now that the faith has arrived, we are no longer under a tutor." (Galatians 3:24,25)

The law remains. Our obligation to it has ceased and been replaced by the law stated here: "“‘You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind.’ 38  This is the greatest and first commandment. 39  The second, like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40  On these two commandments the whole Law hangs, and the Prophets.” (Matthew 22:37-40) (Emphasis mine)

Try to adjust your thinking, Frank. I know it may hurt; but it will do wonders for your disposition.

"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets. I have come, not to abolish them, but to fulfill them. Of this much I assure you; UNTIL HEAVEN AND EARTH PASS AWAY, not the smallest letter of the law, not the smallest part of a letter shall be done away with until it all comes true." Matthew 5:17ff

. . .
You can accept what Jesus said about this...or disregard it in favor of what Paul said.

You tell me which you choose.

No choice necessary. Paul agrees with Jesus.

I see the bible as an inspired whole.
So did the Psalmist (Psalms 119:3)
So did Jesus who repeated the Psalms (John 17:17)
And so did Paul. (2Timthy 3:16)

Peter, on this occasion gave one good reason: "Owing to this many of his disciples went off to the things behind and would no longer walk with him. 67 Therefore Jesus said to the twelve: “YOU do not want to go also, do YOU?” 68 Simon Peter answered him: “Lord, whom shall we go away to? You have sayings of everlasting life . . . (John 6:66-68)

The bible is not easy for intellectuals to understand, Frank.
