Egyptians were conscripted by their rulers to work on public works, all commoner men I believe. They were paid in beer.
no they where not but funny.
For many years, it was presumed that in ancient Egypt, the Great Pyramids at Giza were built by many thousands of foreign slaves, toiling under very harsh conditions over a period of decades. Today, many scholars refute this picture of ancient Egypt, believing instead that they were built by the free Egyptians themselves, some perhaps as seasonal conscripts with other artisans consigned permanently to the projects. One must also consider just how the Egyptians would really control so many slaves in one location with the rudimentary weapons of the Old Kingdom.
but they where still forced to work many “free” of them HAD to follow what someone said.
However, here's a point, what the [&@%!] do we call a "forced laborer?" That's a slave right? A person who works for someone and doesn't have the right to choose?
that’s not the official definition nor dose it have to be the one they used back then when the thing was wrote
remember not to long ago Gay meant happy, and that’s just in the same language!
Doesn't matter if the master is kind or not--the fact of the matter is that he is still a slave. Hell, and if you that they weren't slaves because of that meager payment, some slaves in pre-Civil War were also given small payments (some even bought their slavery, a slow and unsteady process to freedom). However, the term slave has always been consistent, and even though you might bring a point about Egyptian slaves, that is not relevant at all.
Proof of this? proof its always been the same?
As said in my link a presit can be a "slave" of a God in some cases.
What period was this in Egypt? Egyptian kingdoms spanned a certainly unholy amount of millenia, Cleopatra herself lived closer to the moon landing than the construction of the pyramids. Because of this, things change, a lot. Slavery in Egypt also was not a religious matter, but a militaristic or governmental matter (Though it could be argued that a pharaoh, a person with a divine mandate to rule, would be a religious figure)
The topic right now is undoubtedly the Bible, or in the very least Abrahamic religions. No one subscribes to the Egyptian gods anymore, so why muddle this with Egyptians?
Because the Egyptians where AROUND the time Slaves where brought up in the OT? they had just gotten out of Egypt.
the book was wrote with that idea of slavrey (if it was even called slavrey) at the time
remeber back then there was no "Gay" "lesabain" and so it was wrote defreintly which is where confusing comes form
just like how some of the animals "listed" like the bat being a bird is WRONG, we did not have that classficaion back then, and the world meant "winged animals" or close to it, and so bird was the closest many of them could get.
Wolfie, Howl posted some verses from the Bible earlier, Old Testament stuff. You say he's cherry picking, I say you have a remarkable point of evading an answer. Give us some evidence and then maybe your arguments can be considered seriously.
I posted evidence four times today about it but here we go AGAING
b]13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
you can check the rest in my msg to Ms. T I'm NOT going to post this a 5th time becuse pepole refuse to read posts or refuse to read the whole book then tell me to go find it yet try to tell me I cheery pick when they have not read it!
Romans 6:23
23 dFor the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Christ died so that we would not have to die for sin but be forgiving
any other verses you want me to tell you why we dont do it say them one or so at a time, I cant look up 50 verses post them all and do it where you can understand them
How would you like it if I tryed to come in on a debate about a theroy with out reading the whole theroy?
How many times have you guys shot someone down for not reading the thing in question?

As for eating the food
Mark 7:18 (NIV) "Are you so dull?" he asked. "Don't you see that nothing that enters a man from the outside can make him 'unclean'?
Mark 7:19 (NIV) For it doesn't go into his heart but into his stomach, and then out of his body."
