Where does the New Testament talk about Slavery?

Question

Or are there any quotes that come to mind that the bilbe has about slavery. Right vs. Wrong

Answer 1

Ephesians 6:5-9 talks about how a slave should behave. It was a known fact that slavery existed and the advice was for slaves who had come to know christ. It also addresses the slave owner. It was quite something that a slave and his owner could become Christians hearing the same gospel. It does not say slavery is good or bad, just that it is a fact of life in that time. If you read the letter from Paul to Philemon (really a short note) You see that Paul is sending back a runaway slave who has become a Christian and now knows he has done wrong for running away and must return for punishment. Paul uses all his powers of persuasion to get him off easy. But Onesimus the slave must go back and be a slave. Hope this helps

Answer 2

Slavery in the Bible is OK. Not abusive, that is never OK, but when doen as God ordained it is all right. In the New testament the book of Philemon is a book about slavery. Onesimus, a slave had run away, then was led to the Lord by Paul who told him to return to his home as a slave and Philemon was writen by Paul, to Onemus' ownner, Philemon telling him to forgive him for rrunning away and accept him back with forgiveness.

Answer 3

The Quran not only allows slaves, but explicitly gives the slave-owner the right to have sex with them. There were no Muslim abolitionists because slavery is deeply ingrained in the religion. In fact, the Quran has more to say about enjoying sex with slaves than it does about several of the five pillars of Islam.

Mohammed owned and traded slaves. He commanded that women and children be taken as slaves in battle, and allowed them to be raped after capture. His followers continued the practice for centuries until it was forced to an end in most regions by European armies.

Unfortunately, slavery still persists in dark corners of the Muslim world today, such as Niger, the Sudan, and Mauritania. And, most tellingly, none of the articles by contemporary Muslim apologists (giving their religion retroactive credit for abolition) even bother to address the subject of modern slavery, much less condemn it.

On November 23, 1937, Saudi Arabia's King Ibn Saud told British Colonel H.R.P. Dickson: "Our hatred for the Jews dates from God's condemnation of them for their persecution and rejection of Isa (Jesus) and their subsequent rejection of His chosen Prophet."

He added "that for a Muslim to kill a Jew, or for him to be killed by a Jew ensures him an immediate entry into Heaven and into the august presence of God Almighty."
