Biblical Slavery: Leviticus

[@jannuary831]

Is murder objectively immoral? Murder is a legal construct which looks at a killing to determine whether or not it was justified I.e. immoral. If it was deemed to be unjustified, then it’s murder i.e. immoral. Always. One more thing. Slavery is immoral. Always.

What are you referencing from the video?

[@jannuary831]

@@JCOJourney that you don’t understand the legal difference between killing and murder. Killing can be justified, as in war, so is not murder and so is not immoral. If a killing is viewed as a murder then it is an illegal act and so is immoral.

But again, what are you referencing from the video. This seems irrelevant.

Next cover the part in 1 Kings 9 where Solomon rounds up ethnic minorities for forced labor for the state (much like the biblical pharaoh), has them build Yahweh's temple with no objection from Yahweh (stated to be a 7 and a half year project in 1 Kings 6), and then keeps them in slavery after the temple and several other projects are finished 20 years into his reign.

Okay?

Was/is God Pro-slavery?

[@JCOJourney]

It seems God allowed slavery.

[@JCOJourney]

What? If someone provided instructions, they still allowed it.
