I haven't seen that rule. I can't imagine why linking to it would be against the rules. The site gives both sides without judgement on which is correct.kdet said:I was told a few months back that links to www.religioustolerance.org was against the rules..has that changed??
If slavery were not OK, the Hebrews would have been commanded not to keep them. For instance, eating pork was part of life in those days, too, but the Law forbade Hebrews to do so. There are several other examples of activity that were OK in those days that the Law commands against.I also have to disagree that the Bible says slavery is ok..the Bibe tells us how slaves should be treated because slaves were a part of life in those days...
I would notice that, whatever your opinion about the verses are, if you look at the historical record of justifying slavery in America, you will find slaveholders (most if not all Christians) citing those verses as justification!
So, perhaps 100 years from now we will find someone like you also reinterpreting the verses now used to justify homophobia.
