1 slave, 1 slaveowner, and 1 Gospel to unite them both! Paul's letter to Christian slaveowner Philemon shows Paul applying the virtue ethic of Jesus to a slave-master relationship within the church. God has begun creating his new humanity who won't practice slavery, but, love their neighbors instead. Instead of assuming you know what Paul believes and attacking straw-men I invite you to read along and see exactly what Paul believed and taught. Enjoy and be blessed!
