[Protector]

Canadian here, but was East European, there were lots of the news stories and cautious documentaries on TV about sex trafficking. The traffickers would say there's a job in another country somewhere then ship the people there and take away their passports until they do the "work". There's also a reversal Russian bride things, all these brides basically being told that there's a rich American somewhere but then get sold out.

CRAAAAAAAAZY STUFF

From 1641 to 1652, over 500,000 Irish were killed by the English and another 300,000 were sold as slaves. Ireland’s population fell from about 1,500,000 to 600,000 in one single decade.

I concur. Human trafficking is still going on today even in US and Canada, mostly victims are people from other countries. Lots in the news here about the three American girls who were abducted and enslaved in Cleveland- which is newsworthy and people want to hear about them, just wish media and maybe people in general would find it noteworthy when foreign people are freed too.

The distribution of child slave labor is one of the main problems of the modern world. According to the International Labor Organization, to date, more than 250 million children are illegally exploited in various industries, whereas child slavery comes third after arms and drugs trafficking in terms of profit.

This is why undiscriminating compassion is important. People try to be slick by saying their suffering is worse and then they try to be even more slick by stating that such a horrible event has long past and is of no importance. My friends were talking about how black slavery doesn't affect black people even more, even though that was about more than 100 years ago. Jim Crow didn't finish till around the 1960s.

 

not to mention the U.S. has the highest prison rate in the world and over 50% of prisoners are for non-violent crime mainly smoking pot - and this targets the poor nonwhite communities, so then they are forced to do slave labor in prisons.

In ancient Athens, historians say that there were four slaves for each citizen.

Today, in our democracy it's the same: the slight difference is that we don't like to see our slaves all day long... so, they live in very poor foreign countries, working for us and living a miserable life.

Once upon a time I had been a seminary student. Well fast forward a few years and when my mom found out that I was no longer a Christian aside from having a panic induced cow, she asked me to tell her what was wrong with the bible. Since I didn't want to give a week long exhortation I used as an example that far from condemning slavery that the bible actually regulated it. When my mom tried to tell me that no "real" Christians ever thought slavery was ok I mentioned that in the pre-civil war south as the issue was heating up ministers would make entire sermons to proclaim how and why slavery was biblical. They didn't just pull opinions our of their arse, they used scriptural arguments from the bible, and they had loads of them. Oh I don't want to "religion bash" but man I want my spiritual guide book to be more enlightened than me, not less lol.

Is the slavery stuff OT or NT?

Wasn't the New Covenant suppose to nullify the Old?

The Old T... becoming obsolete, and more just for historical reference? for Christians anyway

Judaism never accepted the New Covenant.

 

 

The new covenant is spoken about first in the book of Jeremiah. The old covenant that God had established with His people required obedience to the Old Testament Mosaic law. Because the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), the law required that people perform rituals and sacrifices in order to please God and remain in His grace. The prophet Jeremiah predicted that there would be a time when God would make a new covenant with the nation of Israel.
