Samuel Crothers, Presbyterian pastor, on the servitude allowed in Deuteronomy. The service was limited to six years and resulted in abundant supply upon release. None of this in the American system.

Today, do many people turn to the Bible to see what we can get away with, despite neighbor’s cries?

How can you take pains to be fair to those who work for you or have jobs that serve you?

SAMUEL CROTHERS (1783-1856) The gospel of the typical servitude "If thou buy a Hebrew servant, six years shall he serve thee, and in the seventh year he shall go out free for nothing. In Deut. 15. 13, 14, we have this: When thou sendest him out from thee, thou shall not let him go away empty, thou shall furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy food, and out of thy wine press."

hahaha so funny

The only reason to enforce the gender binary is to uphold the patriarchy.

Trans, non-binary, agender, and gender non-conforming people threaten the concept that men are intrinsically superior.

When the gender divide is blurred, male supremacy is exposed as the flimsy con that it's always been.

Johann Arndt, German #Lutheran theologian, writes on “true Christianity”. Two elements: contrition, and making faith visible by going justice (charity and mercy to other’s needs). With these God is more pleased than with sacrifices.

Today, do we say God is more pleased that we would hold up these virtues?

How can you worship God in pure faith, exhibiting its visible effects?

#christian #hopeandchange #itstartswithyou #wagegap #godandgoals

... the true worship of God consists in pure faith, which, from the visible effect of it, the prophet [Micah] here describes, by 'doing justly, that is by the exercise of faith in righteous-ness, in charity and mercy (which is more pleasing than all sacrifices); and in true humility and contrition, as it is said: 'The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise!' Ps. 51:17."

Boss makes a dollar, while you make a dime - that was a rhyme for another time.
Now the boss makes a dollar while you make a cent - this is why you can't afford rent.

Women's "different" education (fields of study) or "more" education (advanced degrees) don't explain most of the gender wage gaps that are contributing most to contemporary wage inequality trends. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37061326/

The #WageGap isn't just a number; it's a story of inequality. Let's stop generalizing data and start disaggregating it to truly understand the challenges faced by AANHPI women in the workforce.
