In the text, a different consequence is administered if the slave dies than if the slave recovers. Perhaps you misread it?

Welcome to CC! In general, God was not condoning slavery, but rather was setting limits on the treatment of slaves because He knew the corruption of human hearts. To the specifics of your question, if the slave died from his wounds a day or two later, it would still be "as a direct result".

The person who gave you that thought that your post was highly worthwhile, relevant, accurate, informative, or a combination thereof.

It's nothing to be impressed about. I'm sure you have skills and talents that I don't and will never have. :)

Any other baseless assumptions you care to make? Do you treat strangers this badly in real life? I understand both versions of the distinction. I explained in a previous post; Jesus is not confused about who the real Jews are, and His criteria is not based on genealogy.

Another part of my job is entering monthly water usage volumes, so I use the keypad... very quickly.

I type a fair bit in my job so I have built up speed over the years. I'm actually slower on this laptop as it's newer and my fingers are not as accustomed to the keys.

There is nothing about 'Gentiles' there at all. You're engaging in eisegesis.

I type about 90 words a minute... it took more time to locate the reference.

I think Jesus meant what He said. He is employing the term "Jews" to mean what Paul meant in Romans: not all who are descended from Abraham are Jews. Just having the correct lineage does not make someone a Jew. Rather, right relationship with God through faith is what makes someone a true Jew...

No, you did not base your claim on God's word. God's word does not say anything about the 'Jews but are not' being Gentiles. Please try again.

A careful examination of 1 Corinthians 11 will lead to the opposite conclusion. 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 (NIV): 2 I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and...

Welcome to CC... On what do you base this claim?

The only thing I know about Gertrude Stein is that Picasso painted her portrait.

Shirley, some enterprising punster has a shoe store titled, ‘Sole Mates’ somewhere.

You are in no position to be rebuking anyone on this site. As for your link, I may check it out, if only to identify the laughable errors it promotes.

Which is a perfect explanation for why the sun sometimes appears to fade rather than set. Setting is not explained by atmospheric conditions. Insulting me is not going to win you any consideration.

Well, Welcome to CC. Glad you’re a fellow Christian. It's good that you're seeking a sole mate; if you were seeking multiple mates, it might raise a few eyebrows. Either that, or your best bet is to look in a shoe store. :cool:

I believe that Ham did indeed sleep with Noah’s wife. It was an attempt to take control of the family; Reuben did the same thing. The curse is indicative of the fact that though Canaan is the son of Noah’s wife, he is not Noah’s son, and therefore would not share in his blessings.
