God Condoned Chattel Slavery

Your inability to be honest and unequivocal and yet to waffle on inconsequentially continues to amuse.

Inability to be honest?
You're nothing more than a troll.
How could you possibly think yourself capable of recognizing an honest answer for anything, let alone able to understand it?

Maybe you should troll yourself for amusement.

My question is not trolling, what’s the matter with you.

Would you say, in your personal opinion, that slavery is morally acceptable?

Sorry old chap. I know you never produce mean ideas yourself,....well unless describing victims of terrorist attacks as mannequins. But apart from that.

You want politeness? Post something to warrant it.

Why such a hard time letting go of something you have failed to account for?
According to your assertions, no conspiracies of any kind happen, ever.
Well, except for when they did happen, but otherwise, if they’re not announced officially, that is proof positive that they, indeed, did not happen.
Is it possible to be more naïve?
“He who controls the past controls the future.
He who controls the present controls the past.”

You want politeness? Post something to warrant it.
Not necessarily, nor did I ask for the same.
Instead, it was pointed out how you do your damnedest to appear polite, but your content is little more than condescending passive insult.
Calling a person a fat cow and then topping it off with ‘sir,’ ‘old chap,’ or any one of countless throwaway attempts at respectful but casual is the thinking of a child.

In other words, don’t act polite: if you really wish to have your peers consider you polite, just be polite.
Anything less is equally painful.
And obvious.

Asked, answered.

Troll.

It appears that you have a better grip on the sanctity of freedom than the ancient Jews--- who, in complete brain-dead fashion, didn't bat an eye at this topic when God Himself addressed how to handle it.
Where was their collective thinking?
How could they be so callous?

That was a prevalent theme in the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry.

The Jews thought they understood the will of God. Jesus kept correcting them. The Jews didn't really understand God.

In Leviticus 25:44-46 God is depicted as clearly and unambiguously condoning chattel slavery.

This flies in the face of what Jesus taught is the foundation of the will of God:
Matthew 7
12“In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the law and the prophets.

Matthew 22
37And He said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38“This is the great and foremost commandment. 39“The second is like it, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ 40“On these two commandments depend the whole law and the prophets.”

Chattel slavery flies in the face of "treat people the same way you want them to treat you".
Chattel slavery flies in the face of "‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF".
Chattel slavery flies in the face of the gospel preached by Jesus during His ministry.

The depiction of God condoning chattel slavery by the Jews was wrong.

You didn’t “answer” you obfuscated, like you always do.
You seem to think you are an intellectual of sorts, but you aren’t, you’re just a dodger.

No.
The depiction of God condoning chattel slavery by you is wrong.
Cherry picking verses from the Bible to prove your point results in a complete and utter mess.

Better question: how did Israel's slavery protocol differ from any of their contemporary societies?
Causes for slavery are fairly well-known, but how did a person in slavery free themselves--- if at all?

In order to do something "always," one must do something first... and I've not obfuscated in the least.
Sonship responded, and you claim he hasn't but yet I am able to see his response without much effort: pretty straight-forward.
I have responded, as well, also straight-forward and you struggle to see the answer there, as well.
Perhaps the problem isn't the message or even the messenger(s).

I seem to think?
Doesn't that kinda-sorta make me a thinker, an intellectual of sorts?
Doesn't anyone who thinks (by definition) qualify as a thinker, an intellectual?

Doesn't anyone who trolls (also by definition) qualify as a troll?

How exactly is the following not a depiction of God condoning chattel slavery?

Leviticus 25
44“ ‘Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life,..

So be unequivocal then; here’s your chance...

Is slavery morally justifiable; yes or no?

I will answer your very pointed question once you respond to mine.

I've been unequivocal.
If you're unable to distill the answer you are looking for, perhaps you're looking for an answer that is not available in the context.

"The depiction of God condoning chattel slavery by the Jews was wrong."

The depiction of ThinkOfOne that the Jews depicted God as condoning chattel slavery is wrong, just as ThinkOfOne's depiction of God as condoning slavery based on Leviticus 25 is wrong.

If ThinkOfOne thinks God ever condoned slavery, then ThinkOfOne doesn't know God.

You made the following assertion:
<<The depiction of God condoning chattel slavery by you is wrong.>>

Either back it up or leave it as the vacuous assertion that it is.

My point all along has been that the Jews were wrong for depicting God as condoning chattel slavery. How does this reasonably apply to what I've been writing?
