A contradiction requires two verses which contradict, but the topic has been verses which do not exist. Open a thread if you want to talk about contradictions because if it is discussed here, it would take the discussion into a whole new topic.
How hard is it for you to see that the Spirit teaches that any form of slavery is not spirit and life, while the bible does not?. Your question is being answered with bells on it, and like i have already told you, you will never see it because you adamantly believe that the Spirit cannot teach anything that is not in the bible.

It is not hard to see. As a matter of fact I must have repeated about ten times now that slavery violates "love your neighbor" command. How hard is it for you to read what other people post?
No it is not a change of topic. You have been defending the idea that the scriptures say slavery is bad because it violates the "love your neighbor" command . . . but then you do not explain how you can defend as truth where the Bible condones slavery.

Stop playing games, Finn. This is NOT about verses! There is no verse that says slavery is bad . . . but you inferred that because it violates the "love your neighbor" command. However you do not explain how you can defend the Bible condoning slavery . . . which is a similar inference from the content of the Bible. Stop dodging with the no contradictory verses ploy. How DO you reconcile the two opposing views about truth in the Bible if it is as you think the word of God.

You are right that slavery violates love your neighbor, but the love your neighbor commandment is so much more too, it is love your neighbor as yourself, something Jesus added by the spirit of life which cannot be found written in the old testament scriptures
Yet the bible is silent on rejecting it in any form , while the spirit of life does. The spirit of life never contradicts itself nor is it ever vague about where it stands in life issues.

I am not discussing contradictions . . . that would be off topic here, Finn . . . but I am questioning YOUR position that the Bible is the word of God. You refuse to defend your position against the evidence you yourself elicited in the many posts on the issue summarized in my post. The two views above cannot be reconciled as BOTH true . . . so HOW do you defend the bible as the word of God if it contains untruth?

That is not some secret only you know, because the Bible actually spells it out. Thanks to the Bible EVERYONE has access to this "secret". Are you happy about it, or does it tick you off that others also have access to it? You seem to share the Pharisee attitude about being in possession of something special, because it makes you feel special.

Sure seems that you are saying there is a contradiction. Open a thread about it.

What part do you not get that there is a conflict to what the bible and the spirit of life have to say about slavery ?.
Jesus brought it to light BY THE SPIRIT before the new testament was written and after the old testament was written. This is where you seem to be having a mental blockage.
You are obviously more concerned about papering over where you are being proven wrong than acknowledging the obvious. Like all good politicians and in your case politically minded folk do.
