Quote from TM_Direct:
Exodus 21
1 "These are the laws you are to set before them:
Hebrew Servants
2 "If you buy a Hebrew servant, he is to serve you for six years. But in the seventh year, he shall go free, without paying anything. 3 If he comes alone, he is to go free alone; but if he has a wife when he comes, she is to go with him. 4 If his master gives him a wife and she bears him sons or daughters, the woman and her children shall belong to her master, and only the man shall go free.
5 "But if the servant declares, 'I love my master and my wife and children and do not want to go free,' 6 then his master must take him before the judges. [a] He shall take him to the door or the doorpost and pierce his ear with an awl. Then he will be his servant for life.
7 "If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. 8 If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. 9 If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. 10 If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights. 11 If he does not provide her with these three things, she is to go free, without any payment of money.
HERE'S MY FAVORITE!!!!
20 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

ROFTLMAO - It is a good thing if YOU lived and were wealthy back then, you would have NEVER owned slaves, because you are so CLEVR and GUD and SMARTE.
Yea, right.
It is nice that a mortal flesh speck in 2008 knows how the cosmos works, that he can use historical revisionism to tell what God SHOULD have done in TM world.
Brought to you from the person who knew that "Barnabas" instead of Barabbas" was the one substituted for Christ and that "Ponius Pilot" instead of "Pontius Pilate"was the judge over Christ's Roman judgment (it hurts to even read your posts).
But you are the person who apparently has enough Biblical and Purpose and God understanding, that you can tell God what He should be like and how He should run things.
This was already covered in Bruce Almighty.
