"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ."
Ephesians 6:5-8
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord."
Colossians 3:22-24
"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them"
Titus 2:9-10
“Slaves, be subject to your masters with all reverence, not only to those who are good and equitable but also to those who are perverse.”
Peter 2:18
Yeah, we should definitely get our morals from a book that supports slavery.
How is it that much different from now? Are we all not wage slaves? Have you ever had a good boss? They are your master and you are their slave, until you choose to end employment or they set you free, which that's the only difference in the current vs "traditional" slavery.
Most of the time, it'll be better for the "slave" to be true and loyal to their master. Especially, if the master is a True Christian and a righteous master. Last point being supported by the following. Directly after Ephesians 6:5-8 is verse 9." Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master[c] and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him."
The morality that the Bible teaches is simply the most correct for all of human history. And, yes I understand many do not follow the Way the Truth, and The Life which is Christ Jesus aka God's will for mankind.
Having said that, the laws of a nation are what they are and those are what the state should follow, and those ought to be enforced for all its citizens without preference to any particular group.
Yes.
My corrent boss can't beat me with a rod as long as I don't die in a few days.
A pretty damn big difference.
So you'd be against the slaves rising up against their masters?
Glad you're at least pro-choice.
Hmm, I wonder...
