I just try to stay close to Jesus, in Spirit and follow His example. The almighty God does the rest.

it seemed like people werent going to make the most out of it they had slave mentality

 

[vantexan]

dont dodge the question

whats the bibles definition of exploitation of workers?

You tell me. Cite the verses dealing with exploitation.

 

[vantexan]

ups is unfair.

long hours. you have no say in the decisions which affect you proportionately. packages are too heavy. no idea how rich the owners are. no air con. poor treatment by managers.

when we talk about democracy which is the opposite of oppression which the bible uses, who should have a say over the temperature in my house? maybe just me since im affected by it.
if im blasting a radio at work, who should have a say over how loud it can be? maybe any worker affected by the sound.

You've created this fantasy where everything is supposed to be fair. Is UPS unfair? The workers do have a say through their union. They get good compensation and good benefits in exchange for their labor. Where you think it's unfair is that they have to work hard for their pay and benefits. And why does it matter to you how rich the owners are?

 

[vantexan]

Not needed. The Bible is limited, the Holy Spirit is not.

That's a dodge. We are told extensively how to live the Christian life. If speaking directly with God and he with us was part of being a Christian then it would be told to us in the Bible.

Everyone of every race!

Every sinner and every saint!

God so loves them.

God so loves you!

When I asked ,who is my neighbor, I was quoting scripture. What follows is the parable of the Good Samaritan.
I was making fun of rickyb when I began blowing about the parable of the Canadian.....

You go off into word salad as usual...

God’s Word is a Him not an it.

Jesus.

This same Word became flesh and dwelt among men. "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth" (Jn. 1:14). The same Word that was in the beginning is the one that came in the flesh, they are not two different persons. But the Word's state or condition changed.

The Bible is not a him.
