Philosophy 201 Guidelines
Cogito ergo sum
Here in the Philosophy forum we will talk about all the "why" questions. We'll have conversations about the way in which philosophy and theology and religion interact with each other. Metaphysics, ontology, origins, truth? They're all fair game so jump right in and have some fun! But remember...play nice!

Originally posted by seer View PostIdiot, the Christian abolition in the West goes back to the 1700s - bandwagon. And much of the slavery in the West did violate the Biblical principles I listed.
Remember the Bible did not forbid slavery, and gave guidelines for slavery for foreigners, indentured servitude for Jews.Last edited by shunyadragon; 02-25-2020, 09:19 PM.

1 Corinthians 14:33-35 ...women should remain silent in the churches (and following).
1 Corinthians 11:3-16 Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man (and following).
Colossians 3:18 Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
Peter 3:1-6 Wives in the same way be submissive to your husbands (and following).
Titus 2: 4-5 Then they can train the younger women to love their husbands and children, to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands so that no one will malign the word of God.
Just as scripture was interpreted in such a way so as to support slavery:
Ephesians 6:5-7 NIV:
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people.
The bible has proven to be very malleable in reinforcing whatever the social mores of the day happen to be.
I don't see that changing in the Catholic anytime soon, or in my church.
I don't think Trump is anything more than a cultural Christian, even so there is forgiveness in Christ

It will all change just as its support for slavery changed and the attitude among many other Christian denominations has already changed regarding abortion, LGBT rights, racism, women in leadership roles in the Church and contraception.
And yet you regularly defend this thrice-married sinner who boasts about doing unmentionable things to women and pays hush-money to his prostitutes and who has said on several occasions that he's never sought forgiveness for his sins because he has no need.Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope.

Nonsense, the largest Christian denomination is the Catholic Church, I don't see them changing soon. Nor will my Church, or our Conference.
TDS, you just can't help yourself can you...

Nothing in your Biblical quotes deny women the right to vote or have a career. They have to do with how Christian Churches and families are organized. And my Church, as with the Catholic Church, do not allow female pastors. Which is none of your business.
You may think this is OK but the Western world rejected slavery overall. Furthermore, Martin Luther King and his movement rejected the discriminatory aftermath of slavery just as the Civil Rights Act of 1964 rejected ALL discriminatory practices against ALL citizens.
ALL Christian denominations have changed considerably over time according to the social mores of the day and there is no reason why this will not continue.
So, if one rejects the moral position of the adulterous Trump and his history of lying and sexual aggression one is labeled with TDS. So funny, given that his core support is from Evangelical Christians - what does this say about them?Atheism is the cult of death, the death of hope. The universe is doomed, you are doomed, the only thing that remains is to await your execution...

And remember it was Christian abolitionists who went against social mores of the day...
It says we prefer Trump to the baby killing Hillary...
