"Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen,
, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 1 John 4:20

All humans are God's property. Imagine the shock of those who slander God in this life when He condemns them in the judgment to come.

@marke I didn't slander anything, numbnuts. I'm just quoting the Bible.

There is no need to strike out at me in a tiff. I did not say you slandered anyone. I was just pointing out that those who think slavery is always of the devil do not understand the fact that every human on earth is a slave his or her entire life.
1 Corinthians 7:22
For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
If a Christian finds himself a slave on earth he can be thankful to God that he is free in Christ. If a free man rejoices that he is not a slave on earth let him remember that he is still Christ's slave.

@marke Then what was the purpose of you threatening people who slander your invisible friend on my comment, if you weren't accusing me of slandering your invisible friend?

There are a couple of points I need to make. First, I was not accusing you of slandering God for supporting slavery, but I have encountered such slander dozens, if not hundreds of times over the years. To comment on the issue of God's support for slavery without mentioning the fact that people who slander God over slavery do not realize the harm they do to themselves as well as their failure to understand why God did not condemn slavery in some situations in the OT or in the NT.
Secondly, those who carelessly show open disrespect for God (not you but anyone who does so) demonstrate their lack of fear for God and that will end very badly for them.

@marke Okay, but counterpoint. There are two things required in order for slander charges to be filed. First, the thing people are saying has to be a lie. I just provided biblical evidence that it's true. Secondly, the person or persons being slandered have to exist. So why don't you go scurry along and find some evidence for the existence of your invisible friend?

If God is not your friend then you are His enemy and God's enemies will end very badly.
