Well, slavery hasnt been legal in almost 150 years. And when it was legal the slaves did not receive any wages.

Ahhhh.....BUT. they were fed and housed and clothed. And accepted.
Room and board in exchange for labor.
What happens to people who can't repay their creditors: Okay, fine, but you have to give up your home, or you have to volunteer for 4 years (or however long).

Indentured servant = Slave.

They were fed and housed in much the same manner as cattle, they were viewed as property not employees. They were fed and housed to keep them alive. Laborers accepting work of their own volition isn't even in the same discussion as slavery.

Who was it that said something to the effect that "Slavery was the best thing to happen to blacks, because it got them out of Africa" or something like that? I remember hearing that a long time ago, and just tried to track it down, but all I'm finding is something equally stupid recently said by "my" Congressman, Michele Bachman. Can't wait to vote against that idiot, lol.

I'm not an affiliated "Christian" per se, but I believe in doing the right thing, which I understand is presented as what he taught. So, yes, I agree with what Jesus Christ is reported to have said about treating others with kindness and disdaining material success....



You probably know Jesus more than many other Christians!

The problem with many real people I deal with is they treat 'making a living' as an entirely separate entity from being a Christian!

It just can't be, it's a non-Biblical belief/false understanding of the Bible!

How you treat worldly dealings will also reveal your relationship to God. To God these things are detestable - money, possessions, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life(you can pretty much guess what the 'pride of life' is). God did not mean it in relative terms, but in absolute terms!!

For God never once say animals are detestable by themselves!! Does anyone know the implications???!!

Sheep = NOT detestable!!
money, possessions, pride of life = detestable!!

You work hard for money, you therefore love money!! Even if you justify soul- winning your co- workers. Your earnings are not your rewards!! Your reward is eternal life!!! Your earnings goes back to the poor as much as possible!!! Therefore, even under a good salary, you live a very austere life, you live in poverty, cheapest homes, cheapest, most economic car, cheapest everything!!! Just so you can give more to the poor!!

Enact justice in this unjust evil world!!! Be the light of this world!!!

I am not telling these things as a rule or things to follow. No one must do these because I said so.... But this is a TEST!!!

Are you a professing Christian and claim to be have been reborn of the Spirit??? Then you'll do, you'll hunger, you'll have passion for the things of the Spirit even if no one tells/teaches you. Your new instincts, new nature as a new creation will manifest!! Your heart and you can lie to God, but your works, your fruits will betray you! You are NOT his seed!!
