Slavery in the Bible was indentured servitude (working of a debt, working to marry the masters daughter).
It is not comprable to what we know as the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.
You have clearly been misinformed, and have not read the bible in context
Esp 6:5-9
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
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.
Titus 2:9-15 Is about teaching ppl to do good to reflect well on the Gospel no mater what situation you are in. It gives examples of older women, young men, and slaves:
Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.
These, then, are the things you should teach. Encourage and rebuke with all authority. Do not let anyone despise you.
Deuteronomy 7:3 If you continue reading, you will see this is specific to Israel marrying outside of faith/ non believers in the God of Abraham becoming pagan/out of covenant. Nothing against interracial marraige. Its consistent that God weights the heart, not what you look like.
Corinthians 6:14? Read that for yourslef and tel me what your point was.
None of this mention skin color and I firmly doubt you can show me any verse supporting white supremacy.
Not trying to change your mind on anything but please dont make posts, misleading ppl, without accurately weighing what you are claiming

My gay friends are very happy.
I saw a twitter post a while ago where a guy said it's ridiculous that there needs to be a vote to decide if we should give some people rights. One of the realest things i've read.

Ephesians 6:5 - Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.
Titus 2:9 - Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, 10 and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive.
Deuteronomy 7:3 - Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
* God tells the Israelites that there are other ethnic groups living in the promised land. What does he tell them?

Homosexuals in America get more respect and admiration than the Black Man.

We all know religious texts are made up mumbo jumbo designed as a code of ethics the powerful would use to control the masses (be it Christianity, Islam, etc).
Let's be real - Steve Jobs was basically a modern prophet with the cult like following he has developed of Apple product followers.
If there is good in your heart and your actions that is the most religious way to live.
Sorry (and not sorry) to rustle jimmies. Nothing more powerful than belief. Do you, but don't expect archaic traditions to be able withstand modern education and progress for more than a hundred or so years.

Do you have a point? Something wrong or false with my comment? They're fighting for equal rights? Cool, so are we.

What you are doing is more akin to what slaves masters who perpetrated slavery did. Take scripture out of context, and contort it to support their agenda. Your better than that.

your comment comes across as bitter and resentful for something that people are trying to celebrate. there's no need to bring up race in this thread. that was my point.

Agreed. Sounded like an angry comment he wanted to put in here.

I thought it was pretty respect and fair, I used the technical term homosexual as opposed to lesser derogatory slang. The underlying idea of the thread is civil rights. Rights as human beings.

This was distasteful. Just like people who came in here talking about "cool, now legalize weed."
This thread can't just be about this triumph, son? They really can't just have their moment?

You know some black people are gay too right? There's a bigger picture here. Also if you think that this ruling will automatically end homophobia then you're sadly mistaken. Same thing with racism. It's about small victories in the form of progress.
