@drtoddphillips: Christians, if the Bible is the objective moral standard that taught you slavery is wrong, show me where it says human beings should never own other human beings. The Old Testament regulates slavery and permits people to be bought and owned as property. The New Testament repeatedly instructs enslaved people to obey their masters and never simply abolishes the institution. And yet almost every Christian today believes owning another human being is morally wrong. I agree. But that moral conclusion required Christians to take broader principles like love of neighbor, human dignity, equality, and being made in the image of God, and allow those principles to govern the biblical passages that permit and regulate slavery. That is interpretation. That is negotiating with the text. #Exvangelical #Agnostic #Deconstruction #slaveryinthebible #BibleQuestions

God didn't endorse slavery it was part of the economic system. purpose and function of slavery mirrored other ancient Near Eastern societies, serving primarily as a social safety net for extreme poverty and a mechanism for handling international prisoners of war. Ancient Israel had no central banks, bankruptcy protections, or government social security programs. When a family faced catastrophic agricultural failure or absolute destitution, entering bondage was a strategy for physical survival

Dr. Todd is wrong again!!!! I’m a PhD too. He won’t tell the truth about the CONTEXT of the scriptures. Ask Dr. Todd WHY does HE feels it’s wrong. What is HIS reference?

Fair perspective. Here is another perspective. How the world functioned in those times vs how it functions now, plays a part in my understanding. People now have homes and food a plenty compared to back then, and opportunities are overwhelming. Modern day slavery exists for every human with a job and a boss. One must do as they are told to earn a wage to purchase things to provide for a livelihood. Those modern things, massive amounts of businesses and living spaces were simply not available within the historical context to which you are referring. Slavery was a means to have food, water, and shelter, by which now we have conveniences that allow us not to have to live with our bosses in order to have those things. Not condoning, but seeking to understand what this would have been like. Our understanding of slavery in the US is what creates a negative bias of how we view this, because people were mistreated exponentially.

Being a slave at that time was a way to survive. Slaves do the work for food ,water, shelter, clothing, ect. Remember there were no large factories, Walmart's or grocery stores.

If we don't have God as a divine baseline for good then everything is subjective. So how can we be sure anything is the honest truth? Also, do you know you have 666k followers? hmmm.

yeah and one point needs correcting. byy the time of Jesus, jews were living under Roman rule and had themselves experienced centuries of domination by larger empires, so they weren't exactly an imperial power collecting conquered populations as slaves. But that doesn't erase Leviticus 25:44 to 46, which clearly permits ancient Israelites to acquire foreign slaves and pass them on as property. sooo the stronger argument is about different historical periods, not that jews never had slavery.

i stand to be corrected but to me it acknowledges not endorses. in much the same way it acknowledges a number of heinous actions.

Can you imagine masters trying to control slaves without religion and the promise of a better afterlife?

You need to stop thinking of the bible as a text book & start reading about it as a spiritual book
