Was god white? I don't think Jesus Christ was white so maybe the white race should be mongrelized!

Sarai, these white-supremacists are fools and evil in God's sight. They take scripture out of context and twist it to their own ends. Just because they claim to be Christians does not mean they are.

>> SLAVERY and the BIBLE1

I don't believe that God ever intended slavery to be a sub-human thing. To me in biblical times good slavery is akin to our present good employee--employer relationship. We do see Jewish laws for regulating slavery but this to me is like Moses' law concerning divorce--never was in God's design.
"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." Matthew 18:7-9(niv)
It seems like at times there has to be some regulation for certain social ills.
