1 | Is slavery justified in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Konj | 101074 | ||
I've heard a lot of people say recently "Slavery is justified in the Bible". Unfortunately with no reference to scripture. Is this a common mis-conception, a matter of interpretation, or just plain wrong? Thoughts and scripture especially, much appreciated. |

2 | Is slavery justified in the Bible? | Bible general Archive 2 | Emmaus | 101075 | ||
Konj, I think it would be more accurate to say the Bible acknowledges the reality and existence of slavery and that some people use the Bible to condone slavery, but the Bible itself does not condone it but assumes the socieal reality of slavery in Biblical times. It therefore has rules addressing the relity of slavery and how slaves are to be treated. That is not the same thing as justifying slavery. It was however taken for granted. See Genesis 16 and 21, also Exodus21. Emmaus |
