Does the Bible encourage slavery, or speak against it? How can we rationalize all of the times "slavery" is used in the Bible? Did the Bible stand behind what happened to black people in America in the 1800s and in other countries all over the world?
On today’s podcast, Pastor Derek and Pastor Jackie talk through a biblical perspective on slavery and focus on the differing definitions of the term "slavery" in the Bible and how many of them are very different than how we picture slavery today. The Bible speaks to this topic at length, and the answer of whether or not the Bible condones slavery is crystal clear.
The 17:17 podcast is a ministry of Roseville Baptist Church (MN) that seeks to tackle cultural issues and societal questions from a biblical worldview so that listeners discover what the Bible has to say about the key issues they face on a daily basis. The 17:17 podcast seeks to teach the truth of God's Word in a way that is glorifying to God and easy to understand with the hope of furthering God's kingdom in Spirit and in Truth.
