Suddenly, Republican Christians: "You can't just take quotes from the Bible out of context and apply them to your argument! ๐ "
Trust me, it's mostly Christians taking them out of context and denying clear statements. For example, Charlie Kirk spun: 'but what did the original word for slave mean in the Bible'. Well context actually defines the word for us:
Leviticus 25: 44 โโYour male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. 45 You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. 46 You can bequeath them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.
I've never seen a Christian effectively argue context by showing context (as above).
That's pretty much exactly what I was getting at
Me, 89% of the time when I see or hear Christians use this statement.
What do you do the other 11% of the time?
5% of the time it's this. The remaining 6% is whatever.
funderstandable, thank you for the explanation
