Mmm. I think I agree with you there Momentum. There's a fine line between boldly standing up for what one believes and callously shoving it down one another person's throat.
I'd rather live a life that I think honors Christ and let my actions do the talking. It's very sad that so many people totally lose what Christ was/is all about: LOVE.

well put, gramme. It's easy to forget that we are to exemplify the character of Christ, daily. No one has ever been argued into the Kingdom of God. It's only after people see the difference He's made in our hearts, that they will say, "I want what he/she has."

Exodus 23: 12
For six days you may do your work, but on the seventh day you shall abstain from work, so that your ox and your ass may rest, and your home-born slave [servant] and the alien may refresh themselves.
slavery is all about the love?

How to take a text out of context and make a pretext.

the bible documents history and what happened, not everything is morally correct... the culture of that pagan world had slaves back then, not the slaves we think of, but more like servants, or a butler, or maid... it was part of life because of poverty.

Deuteronomy 15: 1-5
At the end of every seventh year you shall make a remission of debts. This is how the remission shall be made: everyone who holds a pledge shall remit the pledge of anyone indebted to him. He shall not press a fellow-countryman for repayment, for the LORD’s year of remission has been declared. You may press foreigners; but if it is a fellow-countryman that holds anything of yours, you must remit all claim upon it. There will never be any poor among you if only you obey the LORD your God by carefully keeping these commandments which I lay upon you this day;...

Deuteronomy 5: 14-15
But the seventh day is a sabbath of the LORD your God; that day you shall not do any work, neither you, your son or your daughter, your slave or your slave-girl, your ox, your ass, or any of your cattle, nor the alien within your gates, so that your slaves and slave-girls may rest as you do. Remember that you were slaves in Egypt...

once again out of context... read the whole book of that context... then you'll see what happens then read volume 2 The New Testament! ;)

The Koran has some pretty crazy stuff in it too. Muslims don't follow their entire book word for word. The majority of the old Testament is documented history of the culture in that day just as the Koran is.
