What does YHWH mean?...because YHWH is a Master of Creation and a Master of Destruction
Wait a minute. Is it YHWH or YHVH?What does YHWH mean?...because YHWH is a Master of Creation and a Master of Destruction
Tis the tetragrammaton...
YUD-HEI-VAV-HEI
You are slowly becoming hauntingly relevant. And frankly, that spooks me.Apparently there are a few variants, such as JHVH, or YHVH. Supposedly the true pronunciation was lost ages ago. Most Hebrew scholars pronounce YHWH as "Yahweh".
Alas I am no Rabbi nor was I brought up in Judaism, lol. But I am fascinated with all religion, and YHWH is the word I use to refer to the highest and greatest God whom those of the Abrahamic religions all worship.

Don't you just love it when people pick and choose parts of the Bible which best suit their purposes?Slavery is slavery, whether its like the Africans brought out of Africa or the slaves Jews owned as recorded in the Bible. Owning another human being is morally wrong. Its worse when its legal or religiously condoned.
However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. (Leviticus 25:44-46 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. (Exodus 21:2-6 NLT)
When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)
From the New Testament:
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)
That the Bible condones slavery isn't a myth.
Dante is a myth.religion is myth
No. Free markets exist for illegal drugs.Free Markets are a myth

Leviticus (KJV)
47And if a sojourner or stranger wax rich by thee, and thy brother that dwelleth by him wax poor, and sell himself unto the stranger or sojourner by thee, or to the stock of the stranger's family: 48After that he is sold he may be redeemed again; one of his brethren may redeem him: 49Either his uncle, or his uncle's son, may redeem him, or any that is nigh of kin unto him of his family may redeem him; or if he be able, he may redeem himself. 50And he shall reckon with him that bought him from the year that he was sold to him unto the year of jubile: and the price of his sale shall be according unto the number of years, according to the time of an hired servant shall it be with him. 51If there be yet many years behind, according unto them he shall give again the price of his redemption out of the money that he was bought for. 52And if there remain but few years unto the year of jubile, then he shall count with him, and according unto his years shall he give him again the price of his redemption. 53And as a yearly hired servant shall he be with him: and the other shall not rule with rigour over him in thy sight. 54And if he be not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the year of jubile, both he, and his children with him. 55For unto me the children of Israel are servants; they are my servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
