Do you believe we should own slaves?

Well, since we are deciding about women preachers maybe we can decide if we can own slaves....

I haven't been involved with the discussions you are referring to but the point you appear to be making here is that certain parts of the Bible are outdated?

I am just saying it helps to know the culture of the day the Bible was written...and especially JEWISH CUSTOMS...I enjoy teaching JEWISH customs and history along with just about any history...if I were not a missionary I would have chosen to be a history teacher....

There are laws in especially the O.T. we would never think of obeying and many things even in the NT we understand to be a culture thing...such as greet one another with a holy kiss...I donīt think it would go over to good for me to start kissing the brothers...ha....

Re: Do you believe we should own slaves?

It depends, can they be pretty young females? (20-ish is fine) Can they feed me grapes while I lay back on the couch?

If so then sure... I'm in...!

I think some people think women should just stay home and take care of the kids, cook, and clean.
