Exodus 21.1 Slavery and Proportional Justice (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Chapter 21 of Exodus begins with the laws regulating slavery. Unfortunately, many have suggested that this demonstrates that God endorses slavery. However, we must look at the Scriptures in their entirety, and how God moves His people to grow in justice, love and mercy. It is not God who changes, but rather man does, from slavery in Egypt to the formation of a nation under God as their King. We look to the Ignatius Catholic Study Bible, the prophet Ezekiel, St. Jerome and St. John Chrysostom and
Matthew 18.5 10,000 Talents vs. 100 Denarii (opens the original)
Read excerpt

Then Peter, in what he believes is a statement of forgiveness greater than the law requires, suggests to Jesus that seven times would be the limit. Jesus then, referencing the prophecy of Daniel explains to Peter that their mercy must be equal to His, which is unlimited. At the same time, Jesus is confirming Peter's confession that Jesus is in fact the Son
