Wait, that a Canadian beer! 😂

Yeah, with the exception of Sam Adams, ours is water in comparison.

What? Do you like dark beer?

Joke's on you: I don't drink beer. Liquor all the way.

You are a traitor to your people.

Lucky for me they're all too polite to call me out on it.

Ok, so, slavery is not part of the ten commandments. What else is missing?

How 'bout any violent action that doesn't end in death?

Your right assault and battery is not included. 👆

I was thinking more like attempted murder. Like, so the dude is still alive. Good job for the perpetrator, they'd have only been fingered if the victim was actually dead. Or rape. Cause, you know, Israelites needed to build up the number of people in their religion.

Unfortunately, rape would fall under #10 or #8 because an unmarried woman would be the property of her father. Now, incest in also not in there.

The Ten Commandments

1. I am the Lord, your God.
2. Thou shall bring no false idols before me.
3. Do not take the name of the Lord in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath and keep it holy.
5. Honor thy father and thy mother.
6. Thou shall not kill/murder.
7. Thou shall not commit adultery.
8. Thou shall not steal.
9. Thou shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. Thou shall not covet your neighbor's wife (or anything that belongs to your neighbor).

Most of these make since, but why isn’t slavery mentioned?

To me, slavery is worse then any of the above.

slavery is in the bible.

Yes, then why is it not part of the Ten Commandments? Your not saying the God sanctions slavery?

Slavery isn't part of the 10 commandments. When people steer away from the 10 commandments, things like slavery and disease follow.

What? That doesn't make any sense. So, if you don't follow the 10 commandments then slavery will exist? But slavery existed at the time of the 10 commandments. The Jews, according to the bible, were slaves. You would think the first thing on the list would have been NO SLAVES!

Maybe the Jews were never slaves, and slavery was considered to be a good thing.

I think he means to say that because people don't follow the ten commandments, disease and slavery results. Or something.

No. Please no. I will not go view any YouTube videos. If you have something to say, then take the time and write out your point. I don't want to hear what somebody else, that cannot be debated, has to say.
