    Every time I hear of Bible/Christianity I remember this joke..

    A Jewish man sends his son to Israel to live there for a while. Eventually he returns home and he is now a Christian. The man finds this to be odd and mentions it to his friend.

    The friend listens, thinks for a moment and says, "That's odd. I sent my son to Israel as a Jew and he returned as a Christian." So the two of them went to see the Rabbi.

    They told the Rabbi the story of how they had both sent their sons to Israel as Jews, and how both sons had returned as Christians. The Rabbi listened, thought for a minute and then said "That's odd. I also sent my son to Israel as a Jew and he returned as a Christian."

    So the three of them decide to go to Israel to find out what's going on over there. The arrive and go straight to the Western Wall to pray. They explain to God all about how they sent their sons to Israel as Jews and how the all returned as Christians."

    There is a long silence, and then God begins to speak saying, "That's odd … "

          The initial followers of Jesus did not consider following him to be a new religion but simply a progression of Judaism. The term Christian was given to them by people mocking them.

        • GregMonarch on 29/07/2017 - 00:42

          I think he's jut being funny, and what he means is "Christian" = "Like Christ", or "Follower of Christ". So Jesus can't be 'like' Jesus - he IS himself. In other words, it would be like saying, there's a guy called Simon, and Bill acts a lot like Simon, so we'll call Simon: "Like Simon". But you wouldn't then turn that around again to call Simon, "Simon like Simon" - you'd still just call him "Simon".

        But the bible is pro slavery. Ex 21 clearly has multiple laws about this, including the fact the master can hurt their slave providing they dont die within 2 days.

        The bible also doesnt ban rape, death is only the price if a man rapes another mans woman, if she is a virgin, he has to buy and marry her.

        • GregMonarch on 30/07/2017 - 19:06

          Slavery in those times (at least by the Israelites) wasn't the same as we think, like negro slavery in America. It had some in common with that, but was more like what we'd today call an "indentured apprentice or servant". People could be sold, but it had a specific time expiry. I forget the details now, but it was for a set number of years. The family could also 'redeem' them at any time, meaning in financial hardship (they had no Centrelink), they could sell a child and 'redeem' (buy them back) later when they could repay. Slaves could also earn and save up to buy themselves.

          After serving, someone could choose to become a 'love slave' too - where an individual so loved their master, they declared their intention to stay with them, and would have an earring placed in his ear to denote his love/faithfulness. (If slavery were we think of when we hear that word, why would anyone choose to do that.) Some were made heirs of their masters who had no relations of their own…

          Of course, there are people that will abuse every advantage they get over other people. But strictly speaking it wasn't meant to be "you're my possession forever and have zero rights or say about that". It's well known for example, that in Rome many slaves could save and/or become citizens with equal rights to 'native' citizens.

          A similar thing happened with the Israelites in regards to land. When they bought land, they only had it for a certain time - then at a particular anniversary (the Year of Jubilee I think, but I'm not certain)… the land automatically returned to the original owners. So if there was 5 years remaining before that anniversary, land was worth much less, because they would get less use out of it.

          The things you're referring are Old Testament. The difference between Old and New Testament is too deep to cover here. However you are twisting the examples (or have read someone that did). e.g. It doesn't say a master HAS THE RIGHT to hurt his slave. It does give specific instruction IF they are injured, raped, etc.

          First keep in mind my first point above. Then how I said, some people will always abuse others no matter how the 'rules' are meant to be… For example: It wasn't until fairly recent history, in England/USA/Australia, etc. that people could both HAVE & BEAT underage child apprentices and no-one would bat an eyelid. You can bet some/many of these were molested, and every other evil you can think of. But unlike our recent history, the OT provides protections for wronged people - children produced ARE to be considered their legitimate children, for example.

          You listed one of those… Instead of God saying nothing on the subject of a man forcing himself on a virgin a with no intention of marriage - it provides security for her if it happens. She could legally demand it from him. Not only did he have to pay for wronging her, thus enriching that family, he was now bound to her - thus providing a deterrent to doing it in the first place, and protecting her from basically starving to death or becoming a prostitute - because such a woman was then considered unmarriable.

          Sorry your lying it was the same, and i will prove it with the bible…look below. Bible slavery of non jews was forever and was violent, the slave was property of the master.

          It was a horrible arrangement and unnacceptable especially for someone who claims to be both a intellectual superior mind and perfect form of love.

          People could be sold, but it had a specific time expiry.

          LIE #1

          http://biblehub.com/niv/leviticus/25.htm

          46You 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.

          Greg: The family could also 'redeem' them at any time, meaning in financial hardship (they had no Centrelink), they could sell a child and 'redeem' (buy them back) later when they could repay. Slaves could also earn and save up to buy themselves.

          LIE #2

          You forgot to mention there were two sets of slavery laws and rights one for jews and another for non jews.

          Of course, there are people that will abuse every advantage they get over other people. But strictly speaking it wasn't meant to be "you're my possession forever and have zero rights or say about that". It's well known for example, that in Rome many slaves could save and/or become citizens with equal rights to 'native' citizens.

          LIE #3

          THe magic words again are bequeth and for life…

          If ordinary people with all their failings can help people without slavery then theres no excuse why god couldnt do better for the hebrew people back then.

          The only reason the raped virgin was unmarriable was becaue of the horrible morals that moses laws set up and the society it created.

          You also failed to mention the only reason why the money was paid, and that is because ALL jewish women were SOLD, thats what a dowry is. Once tthe raped woman was no longer a virgin the other father couldnt sell her because she was used goods.

          In a sick kind of way Jesus and god are thus compensating the father for his lost "sale".

          The poor raped woman is now forced to live her life with the rapist.

          Is this a good law ?

          Is this a law that the TWO greatest intellect of the universe could come up with ?

          thus providing a deterrent to doing it in the first place, and protecting her from basically starving to death or becoming a prostitute - because such a woman was then considered unmarriable.

          Well considering the laws of moses setup all these teachings that women were basically property giving more value to their lost dowry than her personal well being, what else is there to say ?

          Moses laws created an atmosphere and env ironment for slaves and women no different than ISIS. If you want i will be happy to show from the bible more examples of how horribel and violent the laws of the bible were.

          Don't confuse the Old Testament with Christianity. OT covers the story of the Israelites, the back story to where Christ came from.

          Christianity starts in the book of Acts in the New Testament. You won't find any allowance for theft, rape, murder or "kiddy fiddling" there. And even though Paul says basically "if you're a slave, stay a slave", he was talking specifically to a society where slavery was the norm rather than the exception…

          You are wrong twice here.

          Of course their job matters, especially when you begin to understand the advantages they gained for the laws and constructs of the bible.

          Over half of all the OT authors were high priests. and thats why they are constantly complaining about the locals worshipping other gods because the temple was a business.

          The locals had to provide sacrifices and money to the temple and priests. The only part of the animals given to god was the worthless fat and bones. The priests got to eat everything else.

          Poor ordinary people would not invent laws that allowed slavery with violence and rape to be laws. No black person in America 1800 would make up slave laws, the only people making up laws with slaves are people who would want and have slaves…

          people like the high priests and kings of the country who wrote ALL the OT who guess what —- want and have slaves.

          it's still not correct.

          Ive listed the authors of nearly 2 dozen books, of course if im wrong give me 3 examples.

          Gen, Ex, Le, De, Num - written by moses, military leader of ALL israel
          Joshua - written by joshua - military leader of all ISRAEL.
          Judges - written by Samuel - high priest
          1 & 2 Samuel - written by Samuel
          1 & 2 Kings - jeremiah high priest

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_Kings
          According to Jewish tradition the author of Kings was Jeremiah, who would have been alive during the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE.[10]

          ezra written by ezra & nehemiah
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_of_Ezra

          Originally combined with the Book of Nehemiah in a single book of Ezra–Nehemiah, the two became separated in the early centuries of the Christian era.[1]

          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra

          @ninetyNineCents: LOL. Ok, I see what you're saying now. I've been sick so I was a bit slow on the uptake of what you were saying. So the writers should have been people that didn't spend most of their time hearing from/talking to - God, and there should have been more… prostitutes, garbage collectors, mud brick makers… The trouble is this conveniently ignores many of them - Samuel for just one example - his own children were a disgrace, thus firmly placing him back into 'normal man' territory, no matter what his 'high position' was. i.e. If the Bible writers were so biased by their position, why is there so much personal info about their failures mentioned. Another is David: Lust, adultery, then virtually murder of a faithful soldier to cover his own wickedness. Since no-one wants their dirty laundry aired such things are proof the inspiration isn't from men. Like historical records on walls of pyramids, etc. - they would have bragged on themselves - portrayed themselves as close to perfect as possible.

          Note the NT was specifically excluded from your point, because you know it applies even less. The reason why there isn't such an even spread in the OT is simple. Because God didn't speak to everyone in that dispensation - people were meant to seek counsel, etc. from such people.

          Obviously no point in discussing this further. You've closed your mind no matter what. If every writer were a stay at home housewife, the criticism would then be there were no priests. Or money changers. Or Roman centurions. The list goes on and the 'spread' would never satisfy everyone. God would have to wait until everyone that would ever be born, was born - then ask them personally what number of authors in each vocation category would suit them.

          Cheers.

          If the Bible writers were so biased by their position, why is there so much personal info about their failures mentioned. Another is David: Lust, adultery, then virtually murder of a faithful soldier to cover his own wickedness.

          SImple answer, they didnt care about sharing their dirty laundry, after all it impressed you.

          Lots of politicians today admit mistakes in their life, doesnt mean anyone should believe they are gods chosen ones.

          Like historical records on walls of pyramids, etc. - they would have bragged on themselves - portrayed themselves as close to perfect as possible.

          You are changing the subject, get back and address the "mosaic laws" and how they were advantageous to the bible authors.

          No i didnt mention the NT authors smply because we dont know who most of them are. It wouldnt be fair of me to discuss who they are when the truth is we dont know them. Take the gospels nobody knows who wrote them, the naming and assumptions of each of them are traditions invented hundreds of years later. Nobody knows who Mark was, where he lived, what kind of person he was and so on.

          REgardless of the NT, my statement about the OT authors is 100% perfect.

          Obviously no point in discussing this further.

          Yeh because you were caught lying multiple times, about slavery and you didnt have the grace to apologise or admit your lies.

          So mate, why did you lie and say bible slavery was not violent and not forever ?

          Obviously no point in discussing this further. You've closed your mind no matter what. If every writer were a stay at home housewife, the criticism would then be there were no priests. Or money changers. Or Roman centurions.

          No you dont want to discuss with me, because you were caught out lying and you are ashamed of the truth about bible slavery and the fact it proves the bible was written by evil aresholes who used god as a spokesman.

          If i was wrong, you should be able to show me multiple examples of my mistakes, but you cant.

          God would have to wait until everyone that would ever be born, was born - then ask them personally what number of authors in each vocation category would suit them.

          Rubbish, there were plenty of ordinary people in ancient israel, he could and should have picked from that large group. You just cant handle the truth about who wrote the bible, and the bible laws prove my point.

          Poor people dont make up slavery laws that hurt them, rich people dont care about poor people, thats whty they pretend god has chosen them and allocated slaves for their benefit.

          Thats a fact, god is a puppet for the two families who were kings and high priests of ancient israel. Wde dont believe God selected Queen Elizabeths family so why would he selectg another line of kings who were just the same evil aresholes ?

          @GregMonarch:

          SO when are you going to be honuorable enough to apologise ab out your lies about the bible and slavery ?

          https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/321061?page=2#comment-4927…

          People could be sold, but it had a specific time expiry

          http://biblehub.com/niv/leviticus/25.htm

          46You 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.

          So when are you going to apologise for this lie and the others you made ?

          YOu are aware that LYING is a sin, if you want i can find the bible passage about that aswell.

        • GregMonarch on 04/08/2017 - 05:31

          @ninetyNineCents: Yeah, that was my thoughts exactly. ;-p

        • GregMonarch on 04/08/2017 - 05:35

          @ninetyNineCents: I can dig up another reference that will disprove your points, and it would go on forever. But why bother. You obviously began with a bias you'll never surrender, and the Bible (right as always) tells me to continue is like me throwing valuable pearls at pigs in a sty - who would trample gems under their feet in the mud, unaware of their value. You're not interested in learning, you're looking for an argument/fight. Waste of my time. Over and out.

          I clearly showed that the bible slavery was forever for the jewish people. If you claim im wrong thats fine, but without provding a passage from the bible you are lying.

          Leviticus 25 is bible law, your statements were wrong and a lie, because the bible clearly has a different law to what you claim. Lets pretend it says something else, its two bad if the bible has contradictions. YOu cant change the fact the bible does have violent slavery. Not only that there are many examples of slaves suffering cruelty in the bible, you cant deny that, thats a fact.

          I can quote more examples if you want, unlike you i back everything i say with quotations when challenged.

          You obviously began with a bias you'll never surrender, and the Bible (right as always) tells me to continue is like me throwing valuable pearls at pigs in a sty - who would trample gems under their feet in the mud, unaware of their value.

          The last resort of the scoundrel such as yourself is to invent lame personal attacks, because you have been caught out.

          If you have insulted me in this last comment, which again shows you are not respecting what jesus said. Jesus said in Luke insulting people is a sin (im paraphrasing).

          THe real reason you dont want to let the bible speak is because you prefer to continue your lies, not only to others but to yourself.

    Do NOT take this subject lightly, the consequences are eternal.

    Luke 16 [23] And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.
    [24] And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.
    [25] But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

    Faith and trust with confession in Jesus Christ alone with conviction from the Holy Spirit, receiving the truth in love will see you enter into the Kingdom of God, it's a Narrow and Strait gate and it's very easy to be deceived your whole life.

      We typically offer bulk discounts for Bibles, and flat rate discounts for wholesale customers. Those offers don't apply to the sale price.

        So.

        Roose Bolton = Judas
        Jon Snow = Jesus (Remember the traitor sign was a cross)
        Nights King = Satan
        Ned Stark = God?
        Battle of the Bastards = a battle of good vs evil, a battle of the son of god vs the son of a man tempted by the devil.

        Wow, who would of thought that learning about religion would be fun?

    Some good ozbargain advice:
    Proverbs 21:20 The wise store up choice food and olive oil, but fools gulp theirs down.
    Proverbs 21:5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.

  • Darkii on 28/07/2017 - 18:11

    Could you recommend a Bible that is well presented and would be a nice gift. Leather bound or something

    • Lukian on 28/07/2017 - 18:40

      I think that's a perk of the NIV 1984 edition mentioned here - but it's not available. Not sure it's quite as fancy as you're seeking, however.

  • edwardcr on 28/07/2017 - 18:14

    I'll stick with my King James version from 1611!

    it says all that needs to be said.

    • barcer on 29/07/2017 - 07:48

      You have an AV 1611? Did you get a good deal on it? Typically when something is that rare, it's rather expensive

      • edwardcr on 29/07/2017 - 13:50

        A modern reprint, of course.

        Still in the the original, beautiful language though!

        • barcer on 29/07/2017 - 14:19

          Is it really a 1611, or more likely a newer edition such as 1769?

    Useful advice for all you heathen Ozbargainers.

    Staying in bed on Sunday morning shouting "Oh God" is NOT a substitute for going to church!

    • chatman on 29/07/2017 - 10:23

      You praise him your way, I'll "praise" him mine.

    The Jehovah's Witnesses give free bibles to any one who asks. They don't pass the plate around and no tithing. Ultimate ozbargain religion.

    These make for really great joint papers.

    Not a bargain though, if you accidentally read them, they'll cost you your intellect & a huge portion of your humanity.

    But you get free magical death.

        Nah, no-one accidentally smokes a joint.

        They look up into the godless skies and say "what a grand simulation we exist in" and then they inhale, deeply, and enjoy their lives.

    Thanks for the post! Great to see so many other Christians on Ozbargain. It's surprising, given how secular our society is.
