Yes. This is not proof.

This is advice to indentured servants and slaves to be obedient. This is in their best interest.

What would you like God to say?

“Slaves, disobey your masters. Run away. Attack and destroy them.”

That’s an instant death sentence.

There is no scripture ordering us to take chattel slaves. That fact that in those Roman occupied lands chattel slavery was endemic is ACKNOWLEDGED. it is not endorsed. Historically most of the early church was composed of chattel Roman slaves.

Rather, God’s law forbids manstealing (a death penalty crime) and requires the release of any and all types of slaves - forbidding their murder, rape or gross bodily harm even then. we are further forbidden to return runaway slaves of any kind.

Slavery is no more endorsed in Scripture because there are regulations concerning it any more than divorce is endorsed because God has regulations concerning it.

YES!!

After all, death is the only way to eternal life...

Being a slave is hell on earth.

Obviously you condoned it as well.

With respect, I will not engage further. Have a great life. Be glad you were never a slave.
