Genesis 9:25-27 And he [Noah] said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Noah, Not God, Cursed Canaan
Genesis 16:8-9 And he said, Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou? and whither wilt thou go? And she said, I flee from the face of my mistress Sarai. And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her hands.
Genesis 17:12-13 And he that is eight days old shall be circumcised among you, every man child in your generations, he that is born in the house, or bought with money of any stranger, which is not of thy seed. He that is born in thy house, and he that is bought with thy money, must needs be circumcised.
Genesis 24:35-36 And the LORD hath blessed my master [Abraham] greatly; and he is become great: and he hath given him flocks, and herds, and silver, and gold, and menservants, and maidservants, and camels, and asses. And Sarah my master's wife bare a son to my master when she was old: and unto him hath he given all that he hath.
Genesis 26:12-14 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year a hundredfold: and the LORD blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants.
Slaves For Everybody?

Maidservant / Slave
Exodus 21:20-21 If a master hits his slave / maid with a rod, and they die under his hand, the master shall be punished; however, if the slave lives a day or two, the master shall not be punished, for the slave is his own money.

Moreover, from the children of the strangers that sojourn among you, shall you buy, and from their families that are with you, which they gave birth to in your land. They shall be your possession. You shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them for a possession, they shall be your slaves forever.
Your Slaves Forever?

Deuteronomy 20:14 But the women, and the little ones, and the cattle, and all that is in the city, even all the spoil thereof, shalt you take unto yourself.
Joshua 9:23 Now therefore you are cursed, and there shall none of you be freed from being slaves and hewers of wood and drawers of water for the house of my God.
None Of You Shall Be Freed From Being Slaves
Mark Twain: There was no place in the land where the seeker could not find some small budding sign of pity for the slave. No place in all the land but one-- the pulpit. It yielded last; it always does. It fought a strong and stubborn fight, and then did what it always does, joined the procession-- at the tail end. Slavery fell. The slavery texts in the Bible remained; the practice changed; that was all.
Luke 12:46-47 The lord of that servant will come one day when he did not look for him, and at a time when he is not aware, and the lord will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. That servant, who knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.
Luke 17:7-9 Jesus said: Which of you, having a slave plowing or feeding cattle, will say to your slave when he comes in from the field, Go and sit down to meat? Would you not rather say to him, make ready that I may eat, and gird thyself and serve me till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shalt eat and drink? Do you thank the slave because he did the things that were commanded him? I think not.
Slaves Don't Eat Until After Jesus Eats
1 Corinthians 7:21-22 Are you called to be a servant? You care not for it? But, if you may be made free, use it rather. For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.
Ephesians.6:5 Slaves, obey in all things your master's according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
Colossians 3:22 Slaves, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ.
Colossians 3:22 Masters, give unto your slaves that which is just and equal; knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.
1 Timothy 6:1-5 Let as many slaves as are under the yoke count their masters worthy of all honor, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed. And they that have believing masters, let them not despise them, because they are brethren; but rather do them service, because they are faithful and beloved, partakers of the benefit. These things teach and exhort. If any man teach otherwise ... he is proud, knowing nothing.... From such withdraw thyself.
Slaves Are Not To Depise Their Masters
Titus 2:9-10 Slaves, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eye service, as men pleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God.
1 Peter 2:18 Slaves, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the forward.
Note: The Catholic Bible mostly uses the word "SLAVE" where the KJV uses the word "SERVANT". Masters are over slaves. Many modern Bibles have watered-down the word slave to servants.
The Catholic Church did not forbid Catholic Priests to marry until 1139 AD. Before that, Catholic Priests could have sex and raise families. Celebicy now keeps Priests from having families and accumulating Church assets for their families. The Catholic Church just gets richer. Being an authority and controlling - by threat of consequence - the sex lives of Priests and Nuns - is a form of misguided and agreed upon slavery. The Catholic Church wants mental, emotional, physical, sexual and financial sacrifice from its believers. These poor, pathetic human beings - Priests and Nuns - sacrifice their lives for God, Jesus Christ, the Virgin Mary and the Catholic Church.
The word servant and servants appear in the KJV Bible 881 times. Slavery and obedience are main themes in all of this God's Bibles.
Awake Magazine: March 8, 1998, Charles Lummis: In 1835, a scalp-bounty law (directed primarily towards Apache Indians) was passed in Mexico (by Spanish Catholics) that offered 100 pesos for each warrior’s scalp. Two years later the price included 50 pesos for a woman’s scalp and 25 for that of a child. The Apaches, themselves, did no scalping. The Chiricahua Indians did at times take scalps in retaliation to the Mexican (Holy Catholic’s) tactics. The British and the French had followed this custom in earlier times.
Scalp Apache Indians
What source, book or religion could possibly serve as the model for this kind of inhumane and brutal treatment of women and children by the British, French and Spanish? Do those who know the content of The Holy, and Sacred Judeo-Christian Bible know? What kind of monkey-mind character, who knows The Book, would passionately support this most corrupt symbol of literary efforts?
Awake continued: War with the Apache was profitable since continuance of war meant $2 million annually to the state of Arizona paid from the (US) War Department. Powerful interests wanted no peace with the Apaches. When peace came, the funds spent by the military (U.S. Government) dried up.
Thanks for these historical facts, Charles Lummis.

Believer: Are you saying that components of our virtuous, wholesome, compassionate, Christian Government did that? What? No! Never! Denial! Spin! Curse the source, as we Christians could never do anything like that!
Symptoms of blind faith: To blindly follow, while remaining oblivious to change, learning or growth, until death. Once a mind-set faith agenda is identified, one has a life-cycle as predictable as a dog, or a cow, pig, monkey, cat or any other genetic life-form.
Is faith anything beyond a gamble? Isn’t faith often a commitment to something illogical, improbable, impossible, and sometimes illegal? Isn’t it often also an absurd commitment to a lie? Faith predestines and prejudices everything one encounters due to its agenda. With faith, nothing else matters; not logic, reason, knowledge, change nor the values of others.
Genetically, all animals behavioral lives are predictably mind-set; for, learning cannot take place without some change of behavior. Your own behavior is mostly run by your creator, your genes, which is commanded by your feelings (Ego/God). The human gene-package is just more capable of learning and behavioral change than the gene-packages of other animals and plants, with their genetically predictable egos (Gods).

This is a search for truth and fact using logic and reason based on what is written. If you find a Biblical passage that is interpreted or stated falsely, please write us what you have found and your correction. Please have the courage to stay on the chapter and verse you are taking issue with. Most people often pick alternative, irrelevant, idealistic “feel-good” material. Sometimes their interpretation is correct concerning a passage because the Bible has other passages that contains one or more contradictions. Emphasis: The Biblical student may be correct, but he or she didn’t know, until now, that one or more Biblical contradictions also exist. GWD
Governments:
Many governments are producing rapid changes. Contrary to belief or law, Governments are in the business of making profit. Like farmers, Governments have planted all over the world and raped the lands for what human “politics” (power and profit over people) took best. Now, the political share-croppers, tribal chiefs, state governors, presidents, prime ministers, and dictators are doing their bidding by selling out their local populations to New World Order politics, economics, and a One God Government!
New World Order?
Paradox: To fight a One World Government while promoting a One God World.
The wise men, the financial controllers, of this planet have depended on a God fog. When logic and reason replaces faith and belief, the peasants will be out of the God fog. The problem will be then, without good believers, there will be no good employees. You can bet those at the top of the world monetary and industrial pyramids will double the faith and belief budget when the God fog begins to lift. It must transform into another form of religion. It will probably manifest in the form of propaganda, enticement or maybe more devastation to create more fear. Why do you think they want you to muddle in faith and belief instead of joining their status of knowledge and wisdom through logic and reason?
Knowledge and Wisdom?
The ultimate skill to see through the "God Fog" is to think and take full responsibility for your own actions and allow others, within criminal and civil law, to be exactly who and what they are. Who would be too prejudice or too much of a racist not to do that?
Thinkers tend to lead and live their own lives while blind-faith believers tend to follow and sell-out their lives to an authority. Thinkers often do not make good employees.
Science proves The Sun bears responsibility for most of the chaos of our planet.
In scientific terms we realize we are not the center of the universe. A God fog ego believes God runs things based on what we do, that we can disappoint God. The mystical ego insists that magic has not yielded to science. Ego assumes to be one with authority (God).
Isn’t one’s DNA one’s creator? Imagine yourself without DNA. Doesn’t one’s ego over-exaggerate it’s own creation by claiming it was created by a Super-Natural Being, God? An ignorant, mind-set ego tends to demonize much of what it does not understand and most of what it does not accept.
Up to The Book of Chronicles in this Biblical examination, no Devil or Satan exists, but, nor does any God even the believers claim to recognize. Were we lied to?
Did you know that “God” supposedly murdered 25 million people by plague in 1665, and murdered about 25,000 people by earthquake in 1993?
God's Work?
Only, if nature and God are one.
