Does The Bible Condone Slavery? - Deep Dive | Tough Love

In this episode we'll tackle the topic of slavery and whether or not the Bible condones it. This is an exhaustive deep dive and it will take you on quite a journey. The Berean challenge, born from Acts 17:11, applies to every episode of Tough Love. The challenge is to not simply trust a word I say, but to examine the scriptures yourselves to see if the things you've been told are so. I ask that before commenting, you give the whole episode a listen. Beyond that, buckle up and enjoy!​ Originally Uploaded - August 12th, 2020
