[QUOTE]Originally posted by Djehuti: [QB] ^ The problem is due to two reasons: First, is a confusion of translation where the Hebrew words abdut and abed respectively meaning servitude and servant tend to get translated as slavery and slave. Slavery of course is a type of servitude wherein the servant is a property and his service is unpaid. The Israelite traditions of servitude is based on debt bondage which is why Israelites can hold enemies in bondage as reparations for war (which was the tradition in all cultures) or why Israelites in debt can sell themselves or their children to repay it. It was common practice for Israelites to sell their daughters to wealthy families not because of debt but to bring income to the family as well as chance for those daughters to marry the sons of those families. If abdut is slavery, then Israelites would be selling themselves and their children into slavery left and right. The second problem is Mishnah or traditional explanation of the Torah and other parts of the Old Testament. These traditional Jewish commentaries used to be used in the early church and by church fathers but was largely forgotten after the Renaissance and definitely by the Protestant Reformation. So without the Mishnah it became easier for persons to misinterpret or even pervert biblical practices to their own ends. Christians were not the only ones guilty of this even Jews who followed the Babylonian Talmud found ways to circumvent or pervert the old Mishnaic rules. So for example while Jews were forbidden from practicing chattel slavery by outright capturing people and forcing them into labor, the Babylonian Talmud says they are not prohibited from buying already captured people and selling them to others. Which is why the Trans-Atlantic slave trade was started and predominantly controlled by Sephardic Jews from Portugal and Spain. The Muslim religion was originally based on Arabic Christianity but later changed into a totalitarian practice based on servitude including slavery of unbelievers, and even Christian rulers during the Medieval period to later times began to adopt this practice of apology to conquer and enslave others who were not Christian despite no Christian docrine saying this.
