OK. I understand your point. What I don't understand is what in the world Christ's resurrection has to do with the proper way to beat your slaves. I was referring to the bible verses that instruct a Jew how to beat their slaves properly, and how it is improper to beat slaves.
I can't imagine that Jesus would wish anyone to even have slaves, let alone establishing the proper guidelines on how they can be lawfully mistreated.
Then you're wanting to go down the Christian path, which begins at Calvary and the empty tomb. Christ commissioned His Apostles to teach what He taught them, to reveal Him to the world as His authorized teachers. These men instituted the office of Bishop (1Ti3:1KJV), and taught them to teach others (2Ti2:2KJV). These men today teach against slavery. They are for us today the only authentic teachers of the one Christian faith (Eph4:5KJV).
What you're doing is beginning at a questionable at best premise, that Christians are to discern for themselves, using only the Bible and their own minds, what it is that God wants us to know, but this premise is questionable because of what we read within the Bible itself, namely about the bishops whom the Apostles themselves consecrated through the imposition of their own hands.
This college of valid bishops exists to this day, and they all teach uniformly what is taught in the 'Catechism of the Catholic Church.'
Your argument isn't against all Christians in what you're trying to do here, in bringing up slaves, and killing, etc. from what you read in the Bible, but only against those Christians who believe your premise, which as I said, is at best a questionable one. Certainly not one beyond dispute. Seeing as how a majority of Christians are not Protestants, and don't believe what Protestants teach about the role of Scripture in the life of the Christian.
