Bible 2 Timothy 1 7
Why does the Bible condone slavery?
See, for example, Exodus 21:20-21, Deuteronomy 15:17, Leviticus 25:44-46,
Ephesians 6:5-7, 1 Timothy 6:1, Colossians 3:22, Titus 2:9, 1 Peter 2:18,21.
Probably for much the same reason it condones divorce:
Matt. 19:7 “Why then,” they asked, “did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?” 8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning.
It obviously isn’t what God had in mind from the beginning, a clue is that Jesus said the 2nd most important command was to love your neighbor as yourself. I doubt if anyone loves themselves so little that they want to be enslaved, so you can’t really obey that command and be a slave owner.
Bible 2 Timothy 1 7
Should we fear God or not? The bible says both.?
Deuteronomy 6:13, 10:20
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God.
2 Timothy 1:7
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
But it says you should fear him…. Pretty clear on that point.
Again with the cherry picking??
Am I confused with the whole
Bible = Word of God = All correct
thing?
We do not have a morbid fear of God because he is love 1 John 4:8 However we do have a fear of displeasing him.
2 Timothy 1 7 God Does Not Give The Spirit of Fear! 1
