15 eOutside are fthe dogs gand sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous1 will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: xneither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,2 10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
19 Now bthe works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, cdivisions, 21 envy,1 drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that dthose who do2 such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
5 For you may be sure of this, that ueveryone who is sexually immoral or impure, or who is covetous (vthat is, an idolater), has no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.
9 understanding this, that the slaw is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who strike their fathers and mothers, for murderers,
14 sStrive for peace with everyone, and for the tholiness uwithout which no one will see the Lord.

Geez, the Bible sure does say a lot of needlessly nasty and hateful things that are used by religious bigots as justification for their cruel actions—almost like it’s the flawed product of ancient human cultures and their outdated values, and not a timeless divinely-inspired message from a perfect, unchanging, infinitely-wise being who loves and cares deeply about every single human being.
What's your point?
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."
Ephesians 6:5-8
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord."
Colossians 3:22-24
"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them"
Titus 2:9-10
“Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.”
Peter 2:18
Yeah, we should definitely get our morals from a book that supports slavery.
How is it that much different from now? Are we all not wage slaves? Have you ever had a good boss? They are your master and you are their slave, until you choose to end employment or they set you free, which that's the only difference in the current vs "traditional" slavery.
Most of the time, it'll be better for the "slave" to be true and loyal to their master. Especially, if the master is a True Christian and a righteous master. Last point being supported by the following. Directly after Ephesians 6:5-8 is verse 9." Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master[c] and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him."
The morality that the Bible teaches is simply the most correct for all of human history. And, yes I understand many do not follow the Way the Truth, and The Life which is Christ Jesus aka God's will for mankind.
Having said that, the laws of a nation are what they are and those are what the state should follow, and those ought to be enforced for all its citizens without preference to any particular group.
Yes.
My corrent boss can't beat me with a rod as long as I don't die in a few days.
A pretty damn big difference.
So you'd be against the slaves rising up against their masters?
Glad you're at least pro-choice.
Hmm, I wonder...
