So Sab you don't disagree that Jesus was a false prophet then?
Why do people pretend good things about Jesus ?

Laying down his life for others, forgiving and asking forgiveness for those who tortured and killed him, healing and feeding the poor, standing for the weak against the men 'beating' them... Yes, how utterly lame of him.

I understand (agree) that the parable was not meant to be taken as permission for people to go ahead and enslave others.
Tec, the LAW gave the persmission of which Jesus was putting on the chopping block. If he wanted slavery gone he would have said it. He was going to die anyway. He condoned slavery. Do you think there could be a good reason for this if it were true?

You just don't like yourself and you take it out on God.

No, he was the Son of God and he died for my sins.

I enjoy making you laugh, don't take anything I say personally. I am just trying to be honest about how I feel.

No he didn't he got himself killed by Romans for rabble rousing. His followers interpreted his death as sacrificial. It was spin.
he died for my sins.
What a disgusting concept.

You cannot seem to get it through your noggin that Jesus endorsed EVEN LAST WORD found in the torah! He said repeatedly, "I didn't not come to change the law", and "every last word of the law stands for time indefinite", etc.
That includes the Exodus scriptures about how beating one's slave with a rod is A-OK, just as long as you don't kill them (at least, if they don't die within an hour: if they last a day, there's no worries about murder charges against the slave-owner).
Jesus endorsed the Torah, and the Torah endorses slavery. Can you grasp that?
Cofty said:
Yes that's fascinating but why did Jesus never say it was wrong for a human to own another human being?
Just think what a difference it might have made.
The reason he didn't say it was HE NEVER BELIEVED IT. In fact, Jesus fully believed in the Torah, down to every last word, including it's position on slavery.

Assumption, Sol... at least as pertains to all.
People follow someone out of love as well.
I do not follow for a reward... and I am not a 'better' person than most.
Peace,
