The Bible Is A Cobbled-Together Slave Manual, Enforcing Submission And Servitude.
It instructs people to work six full days as slaves and mandates that on the seventh day, they must be on their knees, symbolizing complete submission. The payment of taxes to one’s master is emphasized as a duty.
Consider these verses:
1. Leviticus 25:44-46: "Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them, you may buy slaves. 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. 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."
2. Ephesians 6:5: "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."
3. Colossians 3:22: "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord."
4. 1 Peter 2:18: "Slaves, in reverent fear of God, submit yourselves to your masters, not only to those who are good and considerate but also to those who are harsh."
These verses are often used to reinforce the idea of absolute obedience and submission, promoting a system where the enslaved are expected to serve their masters faithfully, regardless of the circumstances. The Bible’s commandments were designed to keep people in a state of servitude, ensuring that they work hard, pay their dues, and remain subservient. The seventh day, presented as a day of rest, is, in reality, a day to reinforce submission, compelling the slaves to kneel and recognize their subjugation.
