YHWH condone slavery. I thought you wanted me to point out the awfulness in the Bible?
Ephesians 6:5-8
5 Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ. 6 Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. 7 Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not people, 8 because you know that the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slave or free.
Historical document, huh?
Yes breh
These were real Christians dealing with the complexities of life and issues such as slavery
These are how church leaders Paul in this case are encouraging other Christian churches.
Paul isn’t Jesus. You don’t need to have faith in Paul but you do need to respect his writings as historical accounts of what happened in 1 century Christianity and what they believed/taught
Breh, you’re BLACK ADOS I assume
How do you think your CHRISTIAN ancestors got through 400 years of slavery way worse than the slavery depicted in the letters of Paul and early church?
Take into account the difference between HAITI today and USA
Two DIFFERENT histories and reactions to slavery
1. Christian lead outcome
2. The non Christian Black African spirituality outcome
You pro black anti Christianity ADOS brehs are the biggest hypocrites
Reap all the benefits of living in the best country on earth which was built on the sacrifices of your CHRISTIAN ancestors while at the same time criticizing them for being “weak” Christians for following “white Jesus” and the WHITE SLAVE MASTERS RELIGION
You should be thanking “white Jesus” and your ancestors especially those Christians (Black and white) who lead the abolitionist movement
Would you rather they were Muslims or Voodoo followers who got themselves killed or committed suicide
Maybe Ephesians 6:5-8 was a GOOD teaching for Black Christians to reflect on 1500+ years later and the smart move in hindsight for Christians to be HUMBLE and take the higher ground and “submit” to the evil White Christians for a time.
And despite them being in a bad position that definitely would test their faith, they had to know and trust that God had a plan for a better life in the near future (freedom) or in the next life.
Maybe their FAITH in Jesus sustained them enough to endure for years.
We are not all promised a perfect life. Actually the Bible shows otherwise. But God is there to make things easier.
Otherwise where would we be today?
Would you go move to Haiti today and leave your nice life in America?
Would you move to an Arab country where their religion And prophet actually promotes Black African slavery and where by sharia law Muslims actually can still own slaves and concubines?
Even if they don’t currently, these Muslims in USA secretly WANT to own them.
Stop playing stupid on the topic of slavery. It’s disrespectful to Black people. You’re exposing yourself. We know you used to be a Christian. You should know better.
