[QUOTE="FireDragon76, post: 72019094, member: 330042"] The bits that are about slavery are simply not important to my Christian faith, one way or another. Christianity, as I practice it, is not a religion primarily about the proper ordering of society. We Lutherans distinguish between the good order of society, which is understood by all, including nonbelievers, with the forgiveness of sins, which is what we focus on in the Bible. God cannot be immoral because God determines what is moral. You may not like that answer but that's what we Lutherans believe. There is a qualitative difference between the Creator and the creature, and we are not capable of judging him, nor is it right to do so. That's part of the basic Creator-creature distinction.
