Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.

  20. JOHN ON FAMILY VALUES - 2 John 1:7
    Many deceivers, who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh, have gone out into the world. Any such person is the deceiver and the antichrist.

NOTE: Buybull thumpers often say that Luke 14:26 doesn't really mean “hate,” it just means “love less.”  Some buybull translations even word it like that (e.g. Contemporary English Version), because they don't like that nasty word “hate.”  The original Greek word “miseo” always means hate.  It has no alternative meaning.  The prefixes for misanthropy and misogyny come from miseo.  This just shows how screwed-up their minds are.  If hate equals a form of love, how can we trust anything that those translations say?

The "FAMILY VALUES" quotes above also show a classic method that cults use to separate followers from their families and friends.  With a follower's normal connections to reality severed, the cult has a better chance to indoctrinate and keep the follower in line.


FALSE PROPHESY AND FALSE PROPHETS

NOTE: if Jesus had actually told his disciples that he would resurrect after the crucifixion, why were they so upset when he was arrested, and dubious when he supposedly really did come back?

  1. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS HIS RETURN - Matthew 10:3 [We're still waiting.]
    "I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes."

  2. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS HIS RETURN - Matthew 16:28 [We're still waiting.]
    "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom."

  3. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS HIS RETURN - Matthew 24:34 [We're still waiting.]
    "I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened."

  4. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS THREE DAYS AND NIGHTS IN THE TOMB - Matthew 12:40 [Not a day and a half!]
    "For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."

  5. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS THREE DAYS IN THE TOMB - Mark 8:31
    He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.

  6. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS KINGDOM OF GOD - Mark 9:1 [We're still waiting.]
    And he said to them, "I tell you the truth, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see the kingdom of God come with power."

  7. FALSE PROPHESY: JESUS PREDICTS THE END OF THE WORLD - Luke 21:25-33 (NLT) [We're still waiting.]
    "And there will be strange events in the skies – signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And down here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. The courage of many people will falter because of the fearful fate they see coming upon the earth, because the stability of the very heavens will be broken up. Then everyone will see the Son of Man arrive on the clouds with power and great glory. So when all these things begin to happen, stand straight and look up, for your salvation is near! Then he gave them this illustration: "Notice the fig tree, or any other tree. When the leaves come out, you know without being told that summer is near. Just so, when you see the events I've described taking place, you can be sure that the Kingdom of God is near. I assure you, this generation will not pass from the scene until all these events have taken place. Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will remain forever"

  8. FALSE PROPHESY: - Isaiah 7:14
    Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.
    [NOTE: The original text in Hebrew meant maiden, not necessarily a virgin.  Also, the context shows that this was meant for its time, not about 700 years later.]

  9. FALSE PROPHESY: - Matthew 1:23
    The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel — which means, "God with us."
    [NOTE: They never called Jesus Immanuel.  The author of Matthew was really reaching when he created this “prophesy” from scriptures.]

  10. FALSE PROPHESY: - John 3:13 (KJV) [See 2 Kings 2:11, next.]
    "And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven."

  11. ELIJAH WENT TO HEAVEN - 2 Kings 2:11 (KJV)
    And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.


GOD, JESUS, JOHN & PAUL ON FALSE PROPHETS

  1. GOD, ON FALSE PROPHETS - Deuteronomy 18:21,22
    You may say to yourselves, "How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?" If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.

  2. JESUS, ON FALSE PROPHETS - Matthew 7:15
    "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravening wolves."

  3. JESUS, ON FALSE PROPHETS - Matthew 24:23-24
    "Then if any man shall say to you Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets and shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the very elect."

  4. JOHN, ON FALSE PROPHETS - 1st John 4:1
    "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world."

  5. PAUL, ON FALSE PROPHETS - 2 Peter 2:1
    "But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction."

  6. PAUL, ON FALSE PROPHETS - Galatians 1:8
    "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed."


JESUS ON TRUTH OF HIS TESTIMONY

  1. JESUS ON TRUTH OF HIS TESTIMONY - John 5:31
    "If I testify about myself, my testimony is not valid."

  2. JESUS ON TRUTH OF HIS TESTIMONY - John 8:14
    "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid."

  3. JESUS ON TRUTH OF HIS TESTIMONY - John 8:18 [So, which is it?]
    "I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me."


THEFT AND “FULFILLED” PROPHESY

NOTES:
Since the story of Jesus is either partially or totally fictional, when the gospels were written after about 70 CE (see first entry) prophesy could be “fulfilled” by just adding it to the story — and they still couldn't always get it right.

There is no evidence of a city of Nazareth in Galilee existing in the first half of the first century, even tho it's mentioned dozens of times in the New Testament.  An author of the gospels got it confused with Nazirite (one who lives apart and has made a vow of abstinence), and Nazarene (a faction of the Essenes).  There is also no mention of Nazareth or Nazarene in the Old Testament, just Nazirite.

  1. TRUE PROPHESY - Mark 13:2
    "Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."
    [NOTE: This probably refers to the destruction of Jerusalem, in 70 CE.  Most scholars think that it was written after the fact.]

  2. JESUS ON THEFT - Matthew 21:2
    "Go to the village ahead of you, and at once you will find a donkey tied there, with her colt by her. Untie them and bring them to me."

  3. JESUS ON THEFT - Mark 11:2 [Identical to Luke 19:30]
    "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here."

  4. THE PROPHESIED COMING OF ZION'S KING - Zechariah 9:9 (NIV)
    Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion! Shout, Daughter of Jerusalem! See, your king comes to you, righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey.

  5. JESUS RIDES TWO ANIMALS AT ONCE! - Matthew 21:7
    They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their cloaks on them, and Jesus sat on them.
    [Note that this impossible story resulted from a mistranslation of Zechariah 9:9.]

  6. THE PROPHESIED NAZIRITE - Judges 13:5 (NIV) [NOTE: This actually refered to Samson, not Jesus.]
    because you will conceive and give birth to a son. No razor may be used on his head, because the boy is to be a Nazirite, set apart to God from birth, and he will begin the deliverance of Israel from the hands of the Philistines.

  7. NAZARETH, NAZARENE, NAZIRITE CONFUSED - Matthew 2:23 (NIV)
    and [Joseph] went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets: "He will be called a Nazarene."

  8. NAZARETH, NAZARENE, NAZIRITE CONFUSED - Mark 14:66-67 (NIV)
    While Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant girls of the high priest came by. When she saw Peter warming himself, she looked closely at him. "You also were with that Nazarene, Jesus," she said.

  9. NAZARETH, NAZARENE, NAZIRITE CONFUSED - Mark 16:5-6 (NIV)
    As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. "Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!

  10. NAZARETH, NAZARENE, NAZIRITE CONFUSED - Acts 24:5 (NIV)
    "We have found [Paul] to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots among the Jews all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene sect"


CANNIBALISM!

  1. JESUS ADVOCATES RITUAL CANNIBALISM - Matthew 26:26
    And while they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

  2. JESUS ADVOCATES RITUAL CANNIBALISM AND VAMPIRISM - Luke 22:19-20
    And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it, and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me." And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood."

  3. JESUS ADVOCATES RITUAL CANNIBALISM AND VAMPIRISM - John 6:53-57 (NIV)
    Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in him. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me."

  4. JESUS ADVOCATES RITUAL CANNIBALISM AND VAMPIRISM - 1 Corinthians 11:23-25
    The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me."


LUST!

  1. JESUS ON LUST - Matthew 5:28
    "But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
    [NOTE: See Matthew 5:29-30 and Mark 9:43-48 (below) for what to do if this happens.]

  2. PAUL ON LUST AND GREED - Colossians 3:5
    "Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry."

  3. PAUL ON LUST - Romans 1:24
    "Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another."


HELL, SELF MUTILATION AND CASTRATION, PUNISHMENT, TORTURE!

  1. JESUS ON HELL & SELF MUTILATION - Matthew 5:29-30 [OUCH!]
    "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

  2. JESUS ON HELL & SELF MUTILATION - Matthew 18:8-9 [OUCH!]

    "For there are eunuchs, that were so born from their mother's womb: and there are eunuchs, that were made eunuchs by men: and there are eunuchs, that made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it."

  4. JESUS ON HELL & SELF MUTILATION - Mark 9:43-48 [OUCH!]
    "If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life maimed than with two hands to go into hell, where the fire never goes out. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than to have two feet and be thrown into hell. And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell, where 'their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.'

  5. JESUS ON HELL - Matthew 13:41-42
    "The Son of Man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity. And shall cast them into a furnace of fire; there shall be a wailing and gnashing of teeth."

  6. JESUS ON HELL - Matthew 13:49-50

  10. ANGEL, ON HELL - Revelation 14:9-11
    A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: "If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, he, too, will drink of the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever.

  11. JESUS ON HELL - Revelation 21:8
    "But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars — their place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

  12. JESUS ON PUNISHMENT - Mark 9:42
    "And if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a large millstone tied around his neck.

  13. JESUS ON TORTURE - Revelation 9:3-5
    "Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth. And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power. They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. And they were not given authority to kill them, but to torment them for five months. Their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it strikes a man."


GOD AND THE DISABLED, RACISM

  1. GOD ON THE DISABLED - Leviticus 21:16-23 [Eunuchs and other disabled not holy or allowed near altar.]
    The LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron: 'For the generations to come none of your descendants who has a defect may come near to offer the food of his God. No man who has any defect may come near: no man who is blind or lame, disfigured or deformed; no man with a crippled foot or hand, or who is hunchbacked or dwarfed, or who has any eye defect, or who has festering or running sores or damaged testicles. No descendant of Aaron the priest who has any defect is to come near to present the offerings made to the LORD by fire. He has a defect; he must not come near to offer the food of his God. He may eat the most holy food of his God, as well as the holy food; yet because of his defect, he must not go near the curtain or approach the altar, and so desecrate my sanctuary. I am the LORD, who makes them holy.

  2. GOD ON THE DISABLED - Deuteronomy 23:1 (KJV)
    He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the LORD.

JESUS FAILED

  1. JESUS FAILED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY - Matthew 13:54-58
    And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence has this man wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren James and Joses, and Simon and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

  2. JESUS FAILED IN HIS OWN COUNTRY - Luke 4: 24, 27-30
    And he said, "Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country... And many lepers were in Israel at the time of El-i-se-us the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, saving Na-a-man the Syrian." And all they in the Synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath. And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong. But he passing through the midst of them went his way.

  11. PAUL ON WOMEN - 1 Timothy 2:11-15
    "A woman should learn [from men] in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

  12. PAUL ON WOMEN - 1 Corinthians 11:3

  13. PAUL ON WOMEN - 1 Corinthians 11:9-10

  14. PAUL ON WOMEN - 1 Corinthians 14:34-35
    "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."

  15. PAUL ON WOMEN - Ephesians 5:22-24 (NIV)

    "God is just: He will pay back trouble to those who trouble you and give relief to you who are troubled, and to us as well. This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. He will punish those who do not know God and do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. They will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the majesty of his power."

  6. HOW TO TREAT NONBELIEVERS - 2 John 1 10-11

  2. WHO WAS JESUS' GRANDFATHER? - Luke 3:23-24
    Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry. He was the son, so it was thought, of Joseph, the son of Heli ...

  3. WHO WAS JESUS' GRANDFATHER? - Matthew 1:20
    But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit."

  4. WERE MARY AND JOSEPH MARRIED WHEN JESUS WAS BORN? - Luke 2:4-5
    So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child.

  5. WERE MARY AND JOSEPH MARRIED WHEN JESUS WAS BORN? - Matthew 1:18-25
    This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit. Because Joseph her husband was a righteous man and did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly. But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, "Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: "The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel" — which means, "God with us." When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. But he had no union with her until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.
    [NOTE: They never called him Immanuel.  Also, the supposed prophesy in Isaiah 7:14 was not for Jesus (about 700 years in the future), but for its time, and referred to a young woman, not a virgin.]

ABORTION, KILLING PREGNANT WOMEN AND BABIES

[NOTE: The Bible defines being alive as breathing.  Since fetuses don't breathe, they are not defined as alive.]

  1. GOD ON ABORTION [VALUE OF CHILDREN] - Leviticus 27:6
    If it is a person between one month and five years, set the value of a male at five shekels of silver and that of a female at three shekels of silver.

  2. GOD ON ABORTION [MISCARRIAGE] - Exodus 21:22
    "If men who are fighting hit a pregnant woman and she gives birth prematurely [she has a miscarriage] but there is no serious injury, the offender must be fined whatever the woman's husband demands and the court allows."

  3. GAY LOVE ACCEPTED - 1 Samuel 18:1-3
    And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul. And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house. Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

  4. MEN SHOULD KISS - 1 Thessalonians 5:26
    Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

  5. PAUL ON HOMOSEXUALITY - Romans 1:26-27, 32

In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.
    Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

  6. WAS JESUS GAY? - John 20:2
    So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved.

Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me; he has listened to my plea and given me a son." Because of this she named him Dan. Rachel's servant Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son. Then Rachel said, "I have had a great struggle with my sister, and I have won." So she named him Naphtali.

  10. POLYGAMY - Exodus 21:7-10 (NIV)
    If a man sells his daughter as a servant, she is not to go free as menservants do. If she does not please the master who has selected her for himself, [a] he must let her be redeemed. He has no right to sell her to foreigners, because he has broken faith with her. If he selects her for his son, he must grant her the rights of a daughter. If he marries another woman, he must not deprive the first one of her food, clothing and marital rights.

SLAVERY

[NOTE: “Slave” and “slavery” are mentioned at least 164 times in the Bible, but it never says that slavery is morally wrong.  It just implies that slavery is undesirable.]

  1. SLAVERY AND CHILD ABUSE - Genesis 9:22,24 (NIV)
    Ham, the father of Canaan, saw his father's nakedness and told his two brothers outside. When Noah awoke from his wine and found out what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." He also said, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Shem! May Canaan be the slave of Shem. May God extend the territory of Japheth; may Japheth live in the tents of Shem, and may Canaan be his slave."

  2. SLAVERY AND CHILD ABUSE - Genesis 17:12
    For the generations to come every male among you who is eight days old must be circumcised, including those born in your household or bought with money from a foreigner—those who are not your offspring.

  3. SLAVERY - Leviticus 25:44-46 (NIV)
    Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves. You may also buy some of the temporary residents living among you and members of their clans born in your country, and they will become your property. You can will them to your children as inherited property and can make them slaves for life, but you must not rule over your fellow Israelites ruthlessly.

  4. SLAVERY - Exodus 21:2-6 (NLT)
    "If you buy a Hebrew slave, he is to serve for only six years. Set him free in the seventh year, and he will owe you nothing for his freedom. If he was single when he became your slave and then married afterward, only he will go free in the seventh year. But if he was married before he became a slave, then his wife will be freed with him. If his master gave him a wife while he was a slave, and they had sons or daughters, then the man will be free in the seventh year, but his wife and children will still belong to his master. But the slave may plainly declare, 'I love my master, my wife, and my children. I would rather not go free.' If he does this, his master must present him before God. Then his master must take him to the door and publicly pierce his ear with an awl. After that, the slave will belong to his master forever."

  5. SLAVERY - Exodus 21:7-11 (NLT)
    "When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment."

  6. SLAVERY - Exodus 21:20-21
    If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property.

  7. SLAVERY - Exodus 21:32
    If the bull gores a male or female slave, the owner must pay thirty shekels of silver to the master of the slave, and the bull must be stoned.

  8. SLAVERY - Exodus 22:3 (NIV)
    "A thief must certainly make restitution, but if he has nothing, he must be sold to pay for his theft."

  9. SLAVERY - Proverbs 29:19
    A servant [slave] cannot be corrected by mere words; though he understands, he will not respond.

  10. SLAVERY - Deuteronomy 20:13-14 (NIV)
    When the LORD your God delivers it [the city] into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder [slaves] for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies.

  11. SLAVERY, JESUS - Matthew 24:45-51 (KJV)
    Who then is a faithful and wise servant [slave], whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

  12. SLAVERY, JESUS - Luke 12:42-48 (NASB)
    And the Lord [Jesus] said, "Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants [slaves], to give them their rations at the proper time? "Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes. "Truly I say to you that he will put him in charge of all his possessions. "But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk; the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers. "And that slave who knew his master's will and did not get ready or act in accord with his will, will receive many lashes, but the one who did not know it, and committed deeds worthy of a flogging, will receive but few. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required; and to whom they entrusted much, of him they will ask all the more."

  13. SLAVERY, JESUS - Luke 16:13
    "No servant [slave] can serve two masters."

  14. SLAVERY, JESUS - Luke 17:7-8
    "But which of you having a slave ploughing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, "Go and sit down to meat."? And will not rather say unto him, "Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, til I have eaten, and drunken, and afterwards thou shalt eat and drink."?

  15. SLAVERY, JESUS - John 8:35 (NIV)
    "Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever."

  16. SLAVERY, PAUL - Colossians 3:22-24
    "Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to win their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord. Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving."

  17. SLAVERY, PAUL - Ephesians 6:5-6 (NIV)
    "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;"

  18. SLAVERY, PAUL - Titus 2:9-10
    "Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them, and not to steal from them, but to show that they can be fully trusted, so that in every way they will make the teaching about God our Savior attractive."

  19. SLAVERY, PAUL - 1 Timothy 6:1-2 (NLT)
    "Christians who are slaves should give their masters full respect so that the name of God and his teaching will not be shamed. If your master is a Christian, that is no excuse for being disrespectful. You should work all the harder because you are helping another believer by your efforts. Teach these truths, Timothy, and encourage everyone to obey them."

  20. SLAVERY, PAUL - Galatians 3:28
    "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus."

  21. SLAVERY, PAUL - 1 Corinthians 7:21-22
    "Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you — although if you can gain your freedom, do so. For he who was a slave when he was called by the Lord is the Lord's freedman; similarly, he who was a free man when he was called is Christ's slave."

  22. SLAVERY, PETER - 1 Peter 2:18 (NLT)

As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the LORD your God gives you from your enemies. This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby. However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them-the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites-as the LORD your God has commanded you.

But first give the LORD his share of the captives, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats that belong to the army. Set apart one out of every five hundred as the LORD's share. Give this share of their half to Eleazar the priest as an offering to the LORD. Also take one of every fifty of the captives, cattle, donkeys, sheep, and goats in the half that belongs to the people of Israel. Give this share to the Levites in charge of maintaining the LORD's Tabernacle.' So Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.

  4. MORTALITY - Ecclesiastes 9:9-10
    Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun — all your meaningless days.

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the grave, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.

  5. MORTALITY - Revelation 19:17-18
