This week, we look at the issue of slavery in a biblical context. We will acknowledge the challenge it poses for Christians in reconciling such practices with the concept of a good and loving God. We will argue that God may allow behavior He finds immoral due to the flawed nature of man. We'll take a look at a couple of passages about slavery and talk about the difference between servanthood and slavery. We also cover the idea that God established some controls around slavery to prevent further harm, as a parent would set boundaries around a rebellious teenager's behavior. Ultimately, it seems fair to say that God despised slavery but permitted it with certain limitations.
