I have an answer for all the questions. I have studied apologetics and like to discuss it. I would have done so had OFF not been caught in lies. OFF thinks that no Christian has ever heard these arguments before and have no answer for them. Well I have young unsaved people in my family. These list of atheist questions and accusations have been going around since before there was internet. So I do have an answer. And I even told the OP KINDLY I would answer. But when I sensed they were lying, no, that stops everything. I checked their status and as I was reading the posts you wouldn't have to be too bright to figure out they were lying. Pity. It could have opened a good discussion. I may return with answers once OFF is gone. But his accusations are old and worn out and been answered many times. They apparently don't know that.

Any answers the ignored skippy/skippys will give as answers to these questions don’t work. I’ve heard them all. He’ll either appeal to time and cultural distance, which works against him saying the bible is for us today. Or he’ll yell context context context, and in reality context doesn’t wipe away any of the below.
Ex 21:7-8 7 “When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she shall not go out as the male slaves do. 8 If she does not please her master, who has designated her for himself, then he shall let her be redeemed. He shall have no right to sell her to a foreign people, since he has broken faith with her.

You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.
Deut 20:12-14 12 But if it makes no peace with you, but makes war against you, then you shall besiege it. 13 And when the Lord your God gives it into your hand, you shall put all its males to the sword, 14 but the women and the little ones, the livestock, and everything else in the city, all its spoil, you shall take as plunder for yourselves.
