#5. To: BobCeleste (#4) Slavery in Biblical times was far different than the slavery that evolved in the 1700s and beyond.
During the Biblical times, a person was "a slave" - but it was a temporary situation.
If one owed money to another, he became his "slave" and when the debt was worked off, he was again free.
Similarly, a form of slavery was used by many who migrated here to the US...but then it was labled (sic) "indentured servant". That Indentured Servent (sic) earned his freedom by paying off the debt incurred that brought him over from the old country.
Few slaves were PERMANENTLY enslaved in Biblical times.
Today, according to the Biblical term, we are ALL be (sic) slaves, because the KING takes our wages from us (King = IRS/FEDGOV). THAT would translate - that just as the Jews were taken into Slavery by the Babylonians, the people of the USA were taken into slavery when the King went to war (WW2), and had to pay his war debt. But once that debt was paid, he did not free his slaves.
That would be us. Slaves to the King....who will not free us.
Slaves are OWNED. The FEDGOV treats us as PROPERTY. Tells us what we can and cannot do (Car ins/health ins), what we can have (FDA for meds) (regulations), and not have (gun grabbing).
We are no longer FREE.
We are SLAVES OF THE STATE.
THE KING OWNS US....AND HAS NOT PROVIDED ANY WAY FOR US TO FREE OURSELVES...AS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN BIBLICAL TIMES.
We are also enslaved to the Bankers. Any credit cards, home mortgage, or car loans you have enslave you to pay them off.
Only when you are debt free, are you free of the bankers enslavement.
You are NEVER free of the King.
