<@&516817984782729217> Daily Question <:PraiseGod:484196233020440586>
- Does the Bible endorse slavery? Explain and Debate.
I sure as hell hope so
It endorses the fair treatment of servants
No. It condemns but allows slavery.
~~Africans gay lol~~
Hmm
The King James version never uses the word slave in the way that we think of slavery. Rev 18:13 and Jeremiah 2:14 are the only two times that the word slave is used in the KJV and it is clearly not talking about God condoning it whatsoever.
In fact the KJV uses the word servant for these verses that are said to condone slavery. For example I am a servant to my boss at work. All the verses that are supposedly supporting "slavery" can be looked at as servitude. There were instances where people in the bible were required to pay off debt by working it off through serving the person that they owed/stole from.
For Hebrew servants they were required to be freed by their masters after 7 years. Of course the bible does not condone slavery. It is clearly talking about servitude: either willingly or because they owed money. Read these verses in the KJV in context and it will become very clear and evident.
And to add to my previous statement
There was a lot of indentured slavery in those days. Indentured slavery was basically an alternative to homelessness; it was a way of providing for your family when you ran out of the means to afford your own room and board. These slaves had to be released in the Year of Jubilee, Unless the slaves themselves chose otherwise
Read Leviticus 25:39-43
It condones slavery
Doesn't mean you have to own slaves
It does not. Which verse?
@Draco so it endorses it?
Condones means sanction. It does not endorse slavery
The only verse that could be read in this way -
Ephesians 6:5
theres also this interesting verse
Slaves, Obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ (Ephesians 6:5 NLT )
Which only endorses authority
but no, i.e i dont think the bible endorses slavery
If you are a slave, you must obey, is different than keeping slaves is ok
It is like one should obey laws does not mean that laws are just
Or they should not be changed in due time
Paul wished Philemon would release Onesimus from bondage and embrace him as a brother in Christ
You should get BibleBot in here. You just say a verse and it spits it out
Yep, and bots for other religions too. Daddy Anon is slacking in his job. Very bad.
