Christianity Part 3: Love of Christ
Love Of Christ
Do Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the same god?
Yes and no… We all believe in the God of Abraham… that is one thing we have in common…
Although Christians believe Jesus Christ, The Father and The Holy Spirit is God… Believe that you are connected with The Father through Jesus Christ who becomes as well a medium to you and the Father…
Jews do not believe Jesus is God… They are connected to God through Jewish traditional rituals… As like the pass over and sacrifice, as commanded by the God of Abraham in the Torah (their Holy book)… Made by Mosses…
Muslim call Jesus a Messiah, but at the same time call him a messenger… So Jesus is not God to them… Yet just like the Jew belief, Jesus is a prophet… I assume what sets Muslim and Jewish beliefs aside is that Muslim also believe Muhammad is a prophet, whilst Jews deny that…
*I retrieved this question from Quora
Why are there people born in Disable?
I was watching Nick Vujicic. Nick is a male individual that was born with no limbs (no arms and legs). He his an evangelist and motivational speaker. For a great period of his life he questioned and doubted God. He asked the lord, "why was I born like this. God answer His question through John 9: 3-5: 3 “Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world.”
That scripture grabbed Nick's life and he serves the Lord. I myself answer the question through John 9:3-5. Remember, what does not kills you makes you stronger. Nick is very famous, and take time to look for his book, and you-tube video's. Nick is the individual in the picture.
i am inspired by the story of Job in the Bible. The story of Job is one of curves. Job was a man with a family and wealth. He was a man with stability. Most of all Job was a man of God. Later in th story Job looses everything, I mean everything. From his wife to wealth. Through his downfall he still remained faithful to the Lord.
Is slavery promoted in the Christianity?
Yes, Christianity does actually promotes Biblical slavery. Well in the Exodus and Mosses times the slavery word was different to our definition of slavery.
The world definition of slavery:
slavery
ˈsleɪv(ə)ri/
noun
- the state of being a slave.
The Bible defines slavery by a form of Voluntary action and not forced. Within the days of Mosses walking with the Israelites out of Egypt there was not a very strong government for the people. Even after when the Israelites came to the promise land government of the poverty was still there. i make the example of the story of Ruth who was found to be a very poor broken women in the Israel.
Nowadays our governments of make reservation for the poor. As many government world wide pay grant and have policies to protect the poor. Many policies are like bankruptcy and minimum wage acts. the Israelites did not have that at the time.
There go when an individual is in debt, they need to pay of the debt in some form. One way is rendering services to your creditor. Which that term perfectly fits with the Biblical term of slave. Some people just went into slavery to simply get food on the tables. That is why God made laws to protect His people through such.
Many laws are on Exodus 21 on slavery. You need to remember that the laws that are given contradict some other laws. So as a Christian I must a bide by all laws. There is a law that says to master on the conditions beatings that must apply before beating their slaves. One is they can't beat a pregnant slave. But remember we must love our brothers as we love our selves Leviticus 19:34. So your beatings to your slave should have love. I guess. I suppose it is like disciplining a slave the same way you discipline a child. So our beatings to our slaves should have love, and we are hurt when we do so.

1. Leviticus 25:39-42 I “If your brother with you becomes so poor that he sells himself to you, you are not to make him serve like a bond slave. Instead, he is to serve with you like a hired servant or a traveler who lives with you, until the year of jubilee. Then he and his children with him may leave to return to his family and his ancestor’s inheritance. Since they’re my servants whom I’ve brought out of the land of Egypt, they are not to be sold as slaves.
2. Deuteronomy 15:11-14 There will always be poor people in the land. Therefore I command you to be openhanded toward your fellow Israelites who are poor and needy in your land. If any of your people–Hebrew men or women–sell themselves to you and serve you six years, in the seventh year you must let them go free. And when you release them, do not send them away empty-handed. Supply them liberally from your flock, your threshing floor and your winepress. Give to them as the LORD your God has blessed you.
3. Exodus 22:3 but if it happens after sunrise, the defender is guilty of bloodshed. “Anyone who steals must certainly make restitution, but if they have nothing, they must be sold to pay for their theft.
I like this one because it shows a slave can actually leave any time he or she wants.
Why don’t the Bible critics ever read these verses that condemns the kidnapping slavery of long ago?13. Deuteronomy 24:7 If someone is caught kidnapping a fellow Israelite and treating or selling them as a slave, the kidnapper must die. You must purge the evil from among you.14. Exodus 21:16 “Anyone who kidnaps someone is to be put to death, whether the victim has been sold or is still in the kidnapper’s possession.15. 1 Timothy 1:9-10 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers–and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine.
Many Bible translation do not use the word slavery any more because of the implication of the word. I was reading a book from A.C Garlying on the Form of Things and he stress that words change and evolve. In fact language changes and evolves.
you know the people working for their kings and serving? they were referred to as slaves and even then the word had a good implication. Watch movies like Henry 5th or Gladiators or read old classical books about slavery and you notice it is a word much like employee and slaves are just seen as workers.
Have you noticed now the word LABOR is becoming bad, but it did have good implication within the days of industrial revolution.
So yeah. Slavery was a good thing. Plus if it is bad slavery, God always disturbs it, like Isrealites in slavery and Joseph and I believe in Apartheid.

Treatment of slaves: God cared for slaves and made sure that they were not abused.4. Leviticus 25:43 You are not to rule over them with harshness. You are to fear your God.”5. Ephesians 6:9 And masters, treat your slaves in the same way. Do not threaten them, since you know that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no favoritism with him.6. Colossians 4:1 Masters, provide your slaves with what is right and fair, because you know that you also have a Master in heaven.7. Exodus 21:26-27 “An owner who hits a male or female slave in the eye and destroys it must let the slave go free to compensate for the eye. And an owner who knocks out the tooth of a male or female slave must let the slave go free to compensate for the tooth.8. Exodus 21:20 “If a man beats his male or female slave with a club and the slave dies as a result, the owner must be punished.9. Proverbs 30:10 Don’t slander a servant to his master or he will curse you, and you will become guilty.
12. Deuteronomy 15:16 But suppose a male slave says to you, “I don’t want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is happy with you.I like this one because it shows a slave can actually leave any time he or she wants.
