Why does the bible endorse slavery?

Context is important.

Leviticus 20:13

If a man practices homosexuality, having sex with another man as with a woman, both men have committed a detestable act. They must both be put to death, for they are guilty of a capital offense.

That's Old Testament. I'm ignorant on the subject but are Christians required to still follow the Old Testament? Obviously the Jews are.

Seems like they pick and choose what to follow in the old testament, which is hypocritical.

1) You have no standard to call anything God commanded ultimately wrong

2) Yes it is very important

These are the usual passages that people who are ignorant about the bible often cites.

Jews, Christians & Muslims all abide by the old testament.

I am no expert when it comes to the bible, but I have heard others argue that certain texts were mistranslated throughout time. So who really knows what the official stance on homosexuality really is.

I do find it interesting though that when it comes to criticizing religion in public, christians are the only ones you are allowed to condemn without fear of blowback. You can say practically whatever you want about christians, even though they hold a lot of the same beliefs as jews and muslims.

When you criticize jews it's anti-semitism. When you criticize muslims it's islamaphobia. There's no special no-no word when you criticize a christian.

In that case why don't any of them perform animal sacrifice today?

Lol, who tf knows. People are religious to various degrees.

I would wager that the majority of those people don't actually take the bible literally. Not except for the hardcore religious.

Under what context is putting two men to death for homo acts acceptable?

Lots of Muslims take the Bible/Quran literally, aka extremists, which is a big reason why the middle east is such a dump.

[iamgine]

Just google if interested. There are other passages too. Not only these.

[theman93]

Under what context is putting two men to death for homo acts acceptable?

Under God's law given to the Israelites, which falls under a civil law that is not a requisite for Christians today due to Jesus' fulfillment of the Torah.

You didn't answer the question though. By what standard do you call anything objectively wrong?

Why is that hypocritical?
