Slavery and the New Testament 1 Corinthians 7:21 Ladd mentions the interpretation of 1 Corinthians 7:21, which we will examine now in some detail, because some recent Bible versions have paraphrased the verse in such a way that it appears to be telling slaves that they should seek...

Slavery in Modern Times Some Observations on Biblical Interpretation and Slavery “When you buy a Hebrew slave, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh shall he go out free, for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go...

The Custom of Ancient Slavery “Can you explain Leviticus 25:44-45? This passage seems to indicate that the Jews were allowed to buy slaves?” The issue of slavery in the ancient world is a complex one, and practices/regulations regarding this long-standing institution must be viewed in...

SLAVERY When confronted with the issue of slavery, First and foremost, it should be noted that the Bible does not commend slavery; rather, it recognizes the reality of slavery. In the ancient world where slavery flourished, the Mosaic Law thus stipulated stringent guidelines such as a year of...

Why God's law in the OT seems to be so complicated and sometimes looks "ridiculous" from the our modern point of view ? The demands of God's law have not changed, even a little. He still demands modern people perfect obedience to His law. Jesus coming did not change God's demands. Instead...

This is exactly what I'm talking about. People misquoting the text to suite their own means. The South used the Old Testament incorrectly. They to did not have a thorough understanding of ancient customes. In order to interpret the Bible one needs to know about the text and the ancient times...

What are you talking about? You don't have to read my responses because I was not speaking to you. Unless........you and kjkent1 are one in the same??:eek:

You do not understand ancient history nor the ancient customs of that day. Get back to me when you fully comprehend the times of the old testament. Until then you will continue to rationalize the text and force your opinion on it rather than extracting from it. You have shown that you don't...

The Word of God is perfect, converting the soul. You will find it to be so the longer you live, and the more you test and try it. Whenever you go astray, it is because you get away from the Word of God; and as long as you are kept right, it is because you are drinking in the precious truth...

There is scarcely one chapter in which Christ is not, more or less clearly, set forth as the Savior of sinners. So the Word of God, you see, shows the man that he is in the wrong, takes him away from wrong ways of trying to get right, and then puts him in the way to get right, namely, by...

HOW THE WORD OF GOD CONVERTS THE SOUL. Man's face is turned away from his Maker. Ever since the fatal day when our first parents broke the law of God, we have been, all of us, guilty of the same great crime. We stand as men who have their backs to the light, and we are going the downward...

"The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul."—Psalm 19:7. When he spoke of "the law of the Lord, David did not merely mean the law as it was given in the ten commandments, although that also is perfect, and is used, to some extent, in the conversion of souls. The term includes the...

An Overview of the Transfiguration Matthew 17:1 says, "After six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John, his brother." Those were the three who saw Christ in His regal splendor before their deaths. Matthew's narrative continues, "[Jesus] bringeth them up into an high mountain privately, and...

D. The Inadequacy of the Prophecy The prophecy of Christ's second coming was a great encouragement to the disciples, but Christ knew they needed more. They were overwhelmed by their present situation. Their plan wasn't turning out as they hoped. After a brief moment when Christ said He would...

C. The Particulars of the Prophecy 1. The context of Christ's coming Verse 27 says that "The Son of man shall come." Why does Jesus call Himself the Son of Man? He used that identification more commonly than any other. It marks His humanness--Jesus was God incarnate. But in the context of...

Matthew 16:27[en]17:13 is one of the highlights of the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples. The sixteenth chapter of Matthew contains some monumental realities. At this point in Christ's ministry it is just a few months until His death. As He moves toward it, He senses a great need...

Quote from jzlucas: Hello, Jesus.... nice to hear from you. I was wondering if you could clear up a few contradictions in your fathers book. I'd appreciate it. They concern your rising from the dead after 3.... I mean 2 days. THE RESURRECTION: When did everyone get to the tomb...

The Flood didn't have to cover the present Earth, but it did have to cover the pre-Flood Earth, and the Bible teaches that the Flood fully restructured the earth. Few doctrines in Scripture are as clearly taught as the global nature of the Great Flood in Noah's day. Genesis clearly teaches that...

Catastrophists/creationists consider mountains to be largely the result of Noah's Flood, which first deposited strata, then folded and eroded them, then later still uplifted them into modern mountain chains. In geology a controversy prevails concerning uniformity and catastrophe. Regarding...
