Ben, I need help with this verse: "Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property." (Exo 21:20-21; NIV). Ben, I don't understand how this is okay or moral at all. Slavery? Human Property? Abuse? These are the kind of verses that make me question God. Please respond. -Anna Hello Anna! Thank you for your qu
