[QUOTE="MishSill, post: 68109465, member: 377689"] This whole argument comes back to the very meaning of slavery. Full time house wives and mothers could be considered slaves in perpetuity under its general definition (unless they decide to divorce or something). Therefore the abolishment of a particular kind of slavery was what was objected to. Husbands and wives and partners could be considered slaves being bonded to one another. [SIZE=4][B]Deuteronomy 20:10-15New King James Version (NKJV)[/B][/SIZE] 10 “When you go near a city to fight against it, then proclaim an offer of peace to it. 11 And it shall be that if they accept your offer of peace, and open to you, then all the people [I]who are[/I] found in it shall be placed under tribute to you, and serve you. In other words these people had to give up their idolatory. Most were engaged in witchcraft and the like. They were being placed under the governing principles of the Israelites. Acts... on the move. People were moving around as missionaries. Of course they were going to share everything to equip everyone to be on the move to spread the gospel. This was the birth of Christianity. Joshua's group were doing the exact opposite. They were getting established in the promised land. It would be more reasonable to say that people who objected to slavery were objecting to the treatment and lack of freedoms. Exodus 21:20-21. Firstly, any beating was for correction only. They were not allowed to use an injured servant for work and had to allow them time to recover. Any kind of beating, if at all, resulted in the master's loss of the slave's ability to work. So therefore beating a slave resulted in their own loss. I do not believe a slave was punished to the degree you are insinuating. Just as police officers will use an amount of force reasonably necessary to arrest a person, that same principle would have applied here. Slaves did not work in chains or any restraints that I am aware of. If slaves ran away, it was because they were ill treated. The bible said to give them refuge and not return them back to their masters. So when you are thinking of these slaves in perpetuity to the Israelites, might that have been a burden on the Israelites to protect those people from enduring slavery elsewhere which were not so kind? Sorry I am not sure how to quote your posts in part as you have been doing mine. [/QUOTE]
