In response to Impasse posted by Migisi:
Just jumping in with one question: Does Paul support or not support slavery on the human level, in your view? I know he says that in Christ, there is neither bond nor free, but he also tells slaves to obey their masters, The Southern slave owners (and some Northerners) stood on these passages to hold onto slavery, citing that the bond/free passage referred to Heaven and the obey passage referred to the here and now. If that's the case, then Christianity's support of slavery for more than 1800 years was Biblically justified. And, for all intents and purposes, could still be. What do you say? Thanks.
