God's righteousness vs societies morality. Most unbelievers choose societies subjective and ever-changing morality, as opposed to God's absolute and

@Pikachu God decides what is right and wrong, not you or any man. You need to get it through your head that man is not the arbiter of truth or right and wrong, God is. So, if God says or commands anything, then it's right and we should follow it.

People have many different interpretations of God's word for different reasons, one being that many are not using the same Bible and they are not using the right Bible - the King James Bible. The modern versions add to and remove from God's word and are corruptions and perversions that create confusion and disharmony. Second, there are few who are saved and many who are lost (Matthew 7:13-14), including many who profess to be Christians. And only a saved person can understand the Bible. You, along with many, cannot understand the Bible because you are lost and a natural man.

1 Corinthians 2:14 - But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

As for Christians who are saved who have disagreements. Sometimes it has to do with the fact that the subject of disagreement is a deeper and more complicated and nuanced subject, like say, eschatology, which requires a lot of study and some just aren't putting in the time and effort to understand this subject fully and comprehensively. There are also other things within eschatology and other areas that are debated because there are certain things we just don't know right now. Some things are a mystery that aren't revealed in this age. As for other things Christians disagree on, well, again, the person who is wrong is not studying enough, and God's word commands us to study.

2 Timothy 2:15 - Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

There are some things in the Bible that are hard to be understood, as God's word says in 2 Peter 3:16 - As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

But most of what is in the Bible is very clear and an interpretation is not needed.

I'm so tired of the line "that's your interpretation". I've heard it repeated ad nauseum by countless people.

It has nothing to do with my interpretation of God's word, but what the text plainly says. What I preach on here is very simple and clear. The verses I share speak for themselves. They are abundantly clear. No interpretation needed. You just don't like what the text says, so you have to say that it is only someone's interpretation.

People just hate the Bible, so they have to act like it's just someone's interpretation of the text whenever they disagree with it.

Let me give you an example of something that is super clear in the Bible that other's will falsely say that it is just my interpretation when I am literally just reading the text. They say it's my interpretation because they don't like what it says and they won't just admit and be honest that they disagree with the Bible.

Leviticus 20:13 - If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

This text clearly says that sodomites (homosexuals) are to be put to death. AMEN TO THAT! I love it and agree 100%. Stone them with stones. That is not an interpretation. It's just what the Bible says. Much in the Bible is this clear.

@BlueSkyKing Biblical slavery is so righteous, but the slavery in the Bible is not the slavery that most people have in mind.

And yes, I'm aware that the words moral and morality are not in the Bible, neither is the word ethics, which is why I differentiated between God's righteousness and societies morality and ethics.

Back to slavery, what most people have in mind when they think of slavery is the modern usage of the word that refers to the African slave trade or racial slavery, which the Bible most certainly does not condone. In fact, the Bible explicitly condemns the type of slavery that most people have in mind, as typified in the Atlantic slave trade.

Exodus 21:6 - And he that stealeth a man, and selleth him, or if he be found in his hand, he shall surely be put to death.

Not only does the Bible condemn it, but it puts the death penalty on it.

Secondly, the KJV Bible only uses the word slave one time and the word slaves one time and context has nothing to do with anything that is in God's law or anything that God condones. The time that slavery is mentioned in Revelation 18:3, it mentions slavery as something that is practiced by a wicked, heathen nation.

Most of the time, the Bible uses the word servant and it is either referring to employment or indentured servitude. Indentured servitude is allowed and has a max of 6 years and this has to do with someone working for someone to pay off a debt. That is one type of slavery that the Bible does condone, which makes perfect sense. This is kind of like in the movies where someone can't pay their bill at a restaurant and has to wash dishes. That's right. By the way, indentured servitude is far better than our prison industrial complex. What do we do today? If someone racks up some huge bill that they can't pay, you just end up getting stiffed, you don't get paid and there's nothing you can do about it or people will just go bankrupt. That is not right, you are supposed to pay what you borrowed. In the case where someone steals from someone else, the thief goes to prison which our tax dollars has to pay for. How is this fair? What exactly is good about this system? And Is it not slavery to be locked up behind bars? But modern man is so much smarter, right? No.

Listen, locking someone in prison is more inhumane than slavery. Prison destroys people's lives and permanently damages their record and makes it harder for them to get a job. 85% off people who go into prison, their spouse divorces them. It destroys their life and it is cruel and unusual punishment. Human beings are not designed to be locked in a cage, especially not solitary confinement, It makes people go insane. We in the United States have the largest prison population in the world and vast majority of people in there are there for non-violent crimes. People don't go on about that but then they want to go on about how the Bible condones slavery. It is basically this emotionally charged word where people don't stop and think and study what the Bible actually teaches.

If you steal from someone or damage their property and you don't have the money to pay them back, then you should have to work for them to pay it off and be their bondservant. This is completely fair. It is not that God is promoting "slavery", it is that God is making allowance for "slavery" in certain situations, like people can't pay a bill, prisoners of war or criminals. And the masters in these cases are told to treat their servants well and in a just manner. But say if that servant is not doing what they are supposed to be doing, like not working at all and eating the masters food, then of course some form of punishment has to be inflicted, hence why there is physical discipline described in Luke 12:47. This is logical. This is reality. This is the real world, folks, and we need practical solutions to deal with the sinful heart of man, not idealism and utopianism which always leads to disaster, degeneracy and chaos. The Bible is a practical book that has the answer to everything.

So, the type of so called slavery that God did allow is right. God is always right about everything.
