Bible Question: When Paul talks about slaves being in subjection unto their masters, what type of slavery is Paul talking about? Was it the kind of slavery the Israelites suffered in Egypt or slavery in relations to "employees" having a Christ-like attitude towards their employers?' What type of slavery was Paul endorsing in the new testament? (Eph 6:5-6) |
Bible Answer: I'm not sure that Paul was endorsing slavery, but instead was giving a moral/ethical standard to live by regardless of what level you fall at (slave/master). Eph. 6:6,7 I feel sums up what Paul was saying. Yes, these verses apply to our work attitude. 1Co 10:31 So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. |
