The NRSVUE removed translation traditions. This is helpful, but the fact that both translations are correct, while for centuries if not millenia (in some cases the RSV versions ignored the Septuagint translations). While yeah, it’s still a valid translation, the word for “slavery” in our modern western lens typically conjures up images of chattel slavery where the slaves were enslaved for life as well as their offspring. Such imagery just isn’t really historically honest. Even throughout different time periods of the Bible’s writing, slaves ranged from bondservants to ones sold through debt.

Not really

Such a proposition is unrealistic. It’s his family’s land, he’s the heir. At least he surrenders it to the government, unlike most land-owners.

The King owns land called the crown estate. He surrenders the profit to the treasury who then pays him back a small fraction of, which he also pays tax on.

The King does not get funded by tax money, just a small portion of what his family’s land makes.

tbf, christian dogma supported slavery for hundreds of yesrs.

In China they call them “banana people”. Yellow on the outside, white on the inside.

In Sunday school I learned what a prostitute was (from the story of Jericho) about King Solomon suggesting cutting a baby in half, that dude that sacrificed his daughter because she was the first to come out of her house, how scripture has been misused to justify slavery, how it’s been misused to justify violence, Noah’s nakedness, the left handed dude who used his left handedness to assassinate a king, Asherah poles being destroyed, David cutting Saul’s robe while he was peeing, to name a few

This type of thing is exactly what’s brought up during Sunday school

Kinda mad that if you click on his links, he’s citing a very specific translation of the Bible, flip through them and it’s clearly talking about servants as a blessing. Not necessarily slaves. The words in question are עֶ֫בֶד and שִׁפְחָה. Basically every other translation I flipped through rendered this as servants, including the likes of culturally significant ones that Christians draw on for doctrine like the KJV and ESV.

Is he trying to convince Christians that slave owning is okay or something? 🤣

Generally the sin inheritance thing goes to everyone.

They didn’t do anything wrong tbf. If a man wants to give accommodation to his nieces, let him.

Can the yanks quit their foreign interference

A heated argument and provocation could easily lead to something considered blasphemy. Ie “Mohammed is a prophet from Allah” “no he isn’t”

I’m well aware of this.

Meanwhile up here in Northern Ireland, we’re flying Ukrainian flags and manufacturing weapons for Ukraine 💪🇬🇧

There are russian interests behind him by the sounds of it.

Executing murderers to appease angry mobs*

I’d say it’s probably the biggest argument against the death penalty tbh. But then, at the same time, innocent people have died serving life sentences also.
