Perhaps you are more stupid for not reading what I actually wrote.
Find your bible or read it on-line. It has nothing to do with not being able to read english
Exedus 21
"If you buy a Hebrew servant" . . . .
"And if a man sells his daughter to be a female slave". . .
This is quoted from the bible. "If you buy a servant..." and If a man sells his daughter..."
How can you NOT get this to be slavery?
Oh dam I miss read your post sorry, I was tired that time but I didn't think that tired. My bad.
Slavery was very normal to them as well because they were all unpaid beaten slaves in Egypt.
In Israel Its really not slavery like it was done in Egypt or America for that matter when it was just Jews to Jews, Now when Romans or Babylonians came into play then they were just kidnapped and then sold as slaves. A Jewish man who wanted help and needed a worker would buy a Jewish son or daughter for a set time to do work for them.
The Family would be paid for the so called Servant, Kind of what we have today lol. Its not right but thats how it was back then. They are some serious Laws mixed with some most basic laws that fit the times.
You must remember that God did not change the Laws because back then they crucified Jesus and did not listen to many Prophets before Jesus, from then on he don't mind if they suffer a bit. He gave everyone freewill to do what they want until The End Times.

The RFID tag being the mark of the beast. You state that the hand or forehead are expicit in the bible. You also state that this is natural. Currently Verichip installs its RFID chip under your right tricep. Since the bible is explicit, this prophecy can not be true.
***snip***
Have you guys ever tried to think laterally on the coming of the beast?
Try this one:
The christians were originally recognized by the symbol of a fish.
Peter (the great apostle Peter) has changed the concept of Jesus to change from a truly remarkable man with very good ideas to something that includes paranormal activity. This is documented extensively by numerous sources. I nearly said realiable sources but of course - that is a no no word in this case.
Now we are left with christians worshipping a crucifix - a torture instrument.
The bible clearly states that we are not allowed to worship idols. So what's with the crucifix?
And the way we are blessed in certain parts of cristianity is with the parson/reverend/priest/minister scribing the sign of a cross on your forehead.
Could it be that we are not talking about RFID-tags but actually the sign of the cross?
Could it be that . . (you fill in the blanks)

I'm sorry to tell you that there's a big problem here.
I hate to tell the good pastor, that Isaiah said nothing about the jews, but about Jacob/Israel.
If the pastor or anyone reading this cannot tell me the difference between Israel and the jews, then he has some studying to do.
I think the good pastor means well, but he missed the chapter on who is who...and it is not normal fare in seminary.
for pastor crone on the 1st vid.......

MMM What are you talking about? Isaiah wasn't talking about the Chinese.
[[[....I didn't say Isaiah never mentioned the jews, but I was talking about Isaiah 43
...there was no mention of Judah, only Israel. The tribes had already split 950 BC so the were 2 Houses, The House of Israel and and the House of Judah, and Isaiah knew the difference. ]]]
Isaiah 36
1Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the defenced cities of Judah, and took them.
2And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem unto king Hezekiah with a great army. And he stood by the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller's field.
3Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, Asaph's son, the recorder.
4And Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trustest?
en.wikipedia.org...
King Hezekiah was King of Juda IE: Israel and he is JEWISH, He ruled over the Jews.
Isaiah 11:11-12 (King James Version)
11And it shall come to pass in that day, that the Lord shall set his hand again the second time to recover the remnant of his people, which shall be left, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea.
12And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.
His people are the Jews.
Isaiah 43:1-6
1But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
So here God is saying Oh Jacob, you who I God created as (A JEW) Who formed Israel a nation of Jews fear not.
[[[ No he's not, he was speaking to just Israel, not the jews. Israel was SCATTERED after captivity and never returned, this is addressed to them, just as Christ said He come only to the lost sheep, that was Israel, the scattered tribes...they were not all jews!!!! only one tribe was Judah. the babylonian captivity really formed the jews as they are now, they formed the babylonian talmud and 66-70 AD is what they got for all that they had done, it was extreme punishment! Isaiah knew what he was saying, it was after captivity and after dispersion.
The great tribulation happened already, it was from 66-70, and the abomination was of the jews defiling their own temple, the tribulation was of them getting slaughtered because God had enough of their nonsense with idols ]]]
[[[ and I'm not picking on the jews, cuz all of Israel was punished in captivity because we all were His unfaithful bride, just doing whatever we wanted to do, over and over and over again. ]]]
4Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life.
5Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west;
6I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth;
So we now see that he means the Jews, His people. It cant be all people or who would give them up? You were very vague in your post so I hope this is what you were talking about and not that Jacob was renamed Israel by an Angel.

Hello Toasted
My point in posting is that all these prophecies can easily be shown not to be relevant and none of them fulfilled. The believers will believe no matter what I say. They will follow what ever their religious leader says. Their leaders use an old brainwashing technique called fear. They have given up their critical thinking skills and follow blindly. Once you show them how easily you can defeat their arguments, they run away and look for easy prey.

You or God would never call his people Israel unless he was talking about the NATION or Jacob himself not the people from it. He would have said Israelites.
Everyone accept you knows when God says HIS PEOPLE in regards to the nation of Israel he is talking about the JEWS.
Isaiah 43:1-6
1But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine.
God redeemed the NATION of Israel for his people the JEWS thats why he said O Jacob, Jacob was the third patriarch of the Jewish people.
You cant take every Jew and Gentile living in the world and shove them in Israel. Its not going to happen as it never has. Thats what you saying.
I don't know who taught you what but your way WRONG. You need to understand first and foremost the phrases that god uses over and over and what they mean.
To bust open your so called proof.
But the Israelites did not follow God. They failed and refused to obey Him. They rebelled and sinned. Instead of following the one true God, they followed the many pagan gods that the surrounding nations worshiped. The nation of Israel eventually split into two nations—the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
Because of their sins, God allowed the house of Israel to be taken into captivity by the Assyrians (720-718 B.C.). While in slavery, the house of Israel became “lost” . Then during 604 to 585 B.C., the Babylonians took Judah into captivity, destroying the Temple of Jerusalem.
The Jews were not all killed off as you would like to think.
After seventy years, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem and the surrounding region. Later, the rebuilding of Jerusalem and the Temple began. But the Jews continued to disobey God.
So who returned? THE JEWS!!!!
Ezekiel 37:21-22 (King James Version)
21And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land:
22And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all.
Once again we cant have everyone in the world moving to Israel so it has to be Jews. The Children of Israel has always been the Jews.
God gave the land to the Jews and called it Israel so your argument holds no water.
