NT Paul, who aproves of slavery, orders slaves "honor their masters" and to obey their them "in all things as unto Christ." Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ. Eph.6:5 Has any follower of Jesus Christ ever owned a slave?

Gosh this thread started off being about Atheism? Well, let's face it. Neither you nor JB are atheists. You both believe in Antheism. Whats Antheism? The new "cool word" of the week?

Paul might have. He seemed to be a proponent.

I know a lot of people who have been baptized in Jesus' name, yet have no idea of what it means to lead a "christian" lifestyle...

You mean the scripture where Paul told us not to get uppity with our owners? Yeah, how could I have possibly reached that conclusion.

He was referring TO slaves (a common practice in the time of Paul)and how they should hold Christ in their hearts. I did not see an endorsment of slavery.

A TO slave?

More Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God. Col.3:22

Do you know about the life of Paul and the sacrifices this man made to spread the teachings of Christ? He suffered horrible abuse at the hands of people. What you are saying about him is way out of character.

A TO slave? He was speaking to (and about) slaves

So in other words you are saying well Paul was looking out for their best interests, telling them not to rebel so they dont get murdered, is that it?

It looks bad for Paul.
