Volitzer, in Leviticus, a distinction is made between the hired servant and the slave.

Leviticus 25:48-53 "After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubilee: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him."

The Bible uses the word 'slave' and 'servant' at times interchangeably, but there are no verses that I know of in the Bible that specifically condemn slavery.

The Bible also says that it's okay to beat your slaves:

Exodus 21:20-21 "And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished. Notwithstanding, if he continue a day or two, he shall not be punished: for he is his money."

Exodus 21:26-27 "And if a man smite the eye of his servant, or the eye of his maid, that it perish; he shall let him go free for his eye's sake. And if he smite out his manservant's tooth, or his maidservant's tooth; he shall let him go free for his tooth's sake."

YA-HOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry, guys, we know how that bond between Texas guys is, it was explained nicely in that movie, "Brokeback Mountain!"

Hey, can you guys "quit" each other? 

Bet not!  Wink

That's a really insulting reference there, Mr. Byron.  I think you should apologize for it before I complain to forum management about you.  Sad

And Byron, I am still waiting for that apology.  I hope you don't make me tell on you to forum administration.  Sad

Oh, yeah?  Here's your apology:

Screw you, buddy!

And you can take that to whoever you think is lame enough to listen to you!

BFFT, have no idea what you're talking about, partner!
How about a big salute to Texas on her admission to the United States, Texas being the biggest and best state of them all!

Oh, really?  Cause you "sound" awfully familiar to me, like some more down home, homestyle bigotry toned down, of course, in a lame attempt to get people to like you.  Gee, where have I heard this crap before?  Wink

Well, I'm very disappointed to hear you saying that, Byron, my complaint to the administrators will be on it's way soon.   Sad

Well, that must be your imagination. Hopefully, you won't be here long enough to figure it out.   Smiley

I'll bet they are good topics, though.  It is a shame what happened to that forum, it was once a really great forum. I blame this forum for that.   Sad

By the way, TEXAS SUCKS, BigFatSmellyTexan! 

And, judging by your fellow Texans that keep polluting this site, and the old one, they are none too bright, too! 

You, for instance, aren't smart enough to take a hint!
