does the bible say slavery is allowed?

Question

i just want to know if it is another lie of the bibile.

it just amazes me that people believe in a book that supports something that is refuted now.

Answer 1

Yes it does in Galatians Chapter 5 KJV "slaves be obedient to your masters".

Answer 2

i'm no longer a Christian (was, nonetheless no longer an athiest), yet i think of the Bible allowed slavery in view that replaced into what replaced into culturally suitable on the time, and while Jesus got here in the recent testomony he abolished all such cruelty and set rules for a sparkling era. i assume God knew that until now then, if he took away slavery and different such issues then he could lose hundreds of thousands of so referred to as believers because of the fact even people in super communities are not continually able to putting God until now all else which contains age previous traditions that have lasted even to at present time. or perhaps it replaced right into a lesson in what to no longer do for the persons of the recent testomony.

Answer 3

The bible was used to support slavery, but then it was used to refute it. It was used to support genocide, then to refute it. it was used to support the empowerment of women, then it was used to refute it.

It is all a matter of how you interpret it. With the bible, it is all a matter of interpretation. Keep in mind that the bible is not a rule book on how to live life, it is a map that can help you find your own way, and it shows you what others have tried and how it worked out for them.

Answer 4

Lemme give you a true Biblical lesson. Since you think the whole Bible is a big lie. Philemon, a book in the Bible, was an apostle writing from Rome to the slave master of Philemon who ran away from his owners home because he was beating Philemon. THe Apostle (his name slips my mind) writes the slave owner, asking him to forgive the slave and to treat him better. He never says slaverly is RIGHT, and he never says its WRONG, because in that time it was a widely agreed fact that slaverly was permittable. But through years of slaves fighting for their rights, and humaity being adressed, slaverly has been condoned as wrong. And we believe this and treat each other with equality like the Bible instructs to do so.

Answer 5

Nope

An Order of Spaghetti

A doctor was having an affair with his nurse. Shortly afterward, she told him she was pregnant. Not wanting his wife to know, he gave the nurse a sum of money and asked her to go to Italy and have the baby there.
''But how will I let you know the baby is born?'' she asked. He replied, ''Just send me a postcard and write 'spaghetti' on the back. I'll take care of expenses.''

Not knowing what else to do, the nurse took the money and flew to Italy.

Six months went by and then one day the doctor's wife called him at the office and explained, ''Dear, you received a very strange postcard in the mail today from Europe, and I don't understand what it means.''

The doctor said, ''Just wait until I get home and I will explain it to you.'' Later that evening, the doctor came home, read the postcard, fell to the floor with a heart attack. Paramedics rushed him to the ER. The lead medic stayed back to comfort the wife. He asked what trauma had precipitated the cardiac arrest.

So the wife picked up the card and read, ''Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti - Two with sausage and meatballs, two without.'''

Answer 6

Slavery meant a job all throughout history. 3/4 of all white people in the colonies (usa) in 1776 were either slaves or indentured servants. It was a way of life. In Europe just a few years back, you were either of nobel blood or you were a servant. People in Europe belonged to the land they lived on. If the land was sold, so were the people on it.

Answer 7

Social laws stated in one religion are changed by the succeeding one to raise man to a higher level of civilization.
All the religions in the Adamic Cycle, in the period of 6000 thousand years ago, taught man about individual, local, national laws.
Since 1844, man entered the global age, so the newest religion of God, besides repeating unchanged spiritual laws, has established new laws for a world country. They are not accepted immediately by all mankind, but some of them are still considered as utopic to people who have not studied religion. This continuous advance of religion is the process of Progressive Revelation.
It is essential to learn religion to obtain true knowledge about it, as we learn physics to know about material things.
Faith and attack with no conscious knowledge are both of no use.

Answer 8

Not directly, but since it contains rules and regulations regarding slavery and defining the rights of slave owners, and comparing religious believers to slaves, and never once condemns the practice, it's a valid inference that it's permitted.

Answer 9

The Bible treats slavery as a fact of life.
In and of itself, slavery is neither good nor bad.
But the Bible has plenty to say about how we treat one another, in whatever our position in life.

Answer 10

It neither condones nor condemns it. The letter to Philemon urges him to recognize his slave as a brother in Christ, but it does not demand that he be freed. Some OT passages urge freedom under certain conditions. Other passages ask for submission on the part of slaves.
