Hey everybody...I don't keep up with this forum very well... in fact, I don't come to this site very often... : But, see, theres nobody at the other sites I go to, so...
Just kidding! : I'm just looking to get some more insight and opinions on this subject.
Slavery is often thought of as an unspeakable evil. Through my studies of Scripture so far, I have discovered that people get this idea not from Scripture, but from the Constitution, which, for some reason, are often put together as one. :-? While slavery may be socially and legally unacceptable, I see no reason biblically why slavery is unnaceptable. In fact, from what I have found, the Bible almost promotes slavery.
Since people usaually get mad when I don't put up the verses I'm talking about, ( :-? ) I've posted all I've found below.
Leviticus 22:11
Leviticus 25:39-55
Ephesians 6:5-9
1 Timothy 6:1-2
I would write these out for everyone, but they are extremly long, and would require much writing on my part, so before you respond, please read these passages if you have not already.
*Note; I do not find racism or abusing slaves morally right. I believe slaves are to be treated justly and kindly, as the Scritpures tell us to. And racism has nothing remotely to do with slavery; racism is a form of hate and favoratism, which are both sins.
