People are laughing and making jest of things they don't understand.
People don't seem to understand the bible, all the laws in the old testament not confirmed by the new testament, were done away with.
Romans 7:6
6 But now we have been discharged from the Law, because we have died to that by which we were being held fast, that we might be slaves in
a new sense by the spirit, and not in the old sense by the written code.
Romans 10:4 Amplified Bible
4For Christ is the end of the Law [the limit at which it ceases to be, for the Law leads up to Him Who is the fulfillment of its types, and
in Him the purpose which it was designed to accomplish is fulfilled. That is, the purpose of the Law is fulfilled in Him] as the means of
righteousness (right relationship to God) for everyone who trusts in and adheres to and relies on Him.
Colossians 2: 13&14
But God made you alive with Christ when he forgave all our failures. 14He did this by erasing the charges that were brought against us by the
written laws God had established. He took the charges away by nailing them to the stauros'
Hebrews 7:18&19
18The former requirements are rejected because they are weak and useless. 19Moses' Teachings couldn't accomplish everything that God
required. But we have something else that gives us greater confidence and allows us to approach God.
So all these arguments about slaves are strawmen.
If you have a problem as to why the old law is so different, that is a different thread. But it has everything to do with Jesus buying humanity
enormous flexibility and forgiveness, something the ancient pre-christian Jews never had.
Offenses that used to be instant death sentences, were now to be treated completely differently. It truly was 180 degrees turn about. From maximum
punishments to instant mercy and forgiveness.
