RE: 16 Bible verses that approve of slavery
Without any cultural-context, other than that attributed by 'Scholars', it is pretty difficult to discern the loving-God through some of the arcane, and often contradictory assertions, by pro and anti religionists. (upvoted;))
Yes, I fully agree. That is why I hesitate to read too much into scriptures. Especially, ones taken out of the context of the verses that are flanking them. Also, given the understanding of even recent history and culture by most people today, not withstanding the history and culture of ancient Jews, I have to question the relevance of the Bible to anyones life.
