Not a chance. Who are you to judge God who created you?

Isaiah 45:5-10

5 I am the Lord, and there is no other;
There is no God besides Me.
I will gird you, though you have not known Me,
6 That they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting
That there is none besides Me.
I am the Lord, and there is no other;
7 I form the light and create darkness,
I make peace and create calamity;
I, the Lord, do all these things.’
8 “Rain down, you heavens, from above,
And let the skies pour down righteousness;
Let the earth open, let them bring forth salvation,
And let righteousness spring up together.
I, the Lord, have created it.
9 “Woe to him who strives with his Maker!
Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth!
Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’
Or shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’?
10 Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’
Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?’ ”

One day soon, your knees will bow and your tongues will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord either as sons or ones He has to judge.

@JBird You need to get a little more educated dear. Jesus is the most loving and Christian marriages are very equal and loving! Please know what you talk about before you make it known you haven't read the Bible at all. God is against slavery. Please!!!

@Carazaa I think you need to get more educated about Bible

Then why does he have rules for how to do it properly?

@Pikachu I refuse to answer you! You dish it out but you can't take it.
@Carazaa

Don't be childish.
JBird · F
@Carazaa why do you refused to answer? If God is loving why would such a statement about slavery in the Bible?

@JBird I read the entire Bible in 1st and 2nd grade because my Mom didn't want me to attend church across the street. I asked God to give me wisdom. In fact I didn't believe in him at all because I was so neglected I felt. He showed me the truth. The stories are such beautiful love stories from God to his chosen people. From the day of creation, to the last day of the world, and beyond in heaven.

Oh i know, right?
Like that beautiful love story about killing all the men and boys and women who have known a man but keeping for yourselves the little girls who have not known a man.
Or the love story about how you can beat your slave half to death as long as they don;t die within a day or two.

Just warms my heart😏

@Pikachu You do not know the Bible and why God put stories about sinful men in there. So don't speak about the Bible! Speak about cartoons!
@Carazaa

The bible doesn't tell us that slavery is sinful. It tells the isrealites whom they can enslave and how they should go about doing it.

I know you don't like that because it trashes your "love letter to humanity" line but that's what's in the scriptures.
Sorry.

That's not what you're going to say to God on the day of judgement. You'll be on your knees and giving an account of the life has given you as His son or as someone He has to judge. He'd much rather judge you as a son. The truth is, you're not going to His judge, He's going to be yours on that day.
@GodSpeed63

lol so you have no defense of that barbarous nonsense. All you can do is tell me i'll be sorry when your daddy shows up.

Nah son. You're imaginary friend doesn't worry me😉

Then why did God free His people from the slavery of Egypt if He condoned slavery?
@Carazaa

Some people don't like to be challenged, i guess.

You ought to know, you're one of them.
Carazaa · F
@GodSpeed63Excactly! And we are slaves to sin until Jesus sets us free. He is in the business of freeing us praise God.
@GodSpeed63

lol easy.
Because he didn't want his chosen people to be slaves. That's why he tells the isrealites to gather their slaves from the nations around them, not to own their brothers as slaves.

You need to read up on your bible...
