The Realities of Slavery in the Bible Part 3 || Exodus 21:22-36 || Session 39

Think the Bible condones slavery? Prepare to have that notion challenged as we dive deep into Biblical teachings on slavery in our latest podcast session. Join us, as we uncover the stark contrast between the often-misunderstood Biblical perspective on slavery/servitude and the brutal practices of the time. Lend an ear as we dissect the intricacies of Exodus 21 and Leviticus 24, debunking claims of abuse and exploitation, and highlighting instead the Bible's teachings of fairness and justice to all.

Gone are the misconceptions, as we shine a light on the slavery/servitude laws of ancient Israel. Discover a world where slaves, despite their subjugated status, were not just entitled to rights but were also expected to be treated as equals under the law. Tag along as we reveal the protective measures established in Exodus and the implications of those rules in Exodus 21, from the prohibition against beating slaves to their right to a fair trial in cases of mistreatment.

Finally, journey with us as we unravel the connections between Biblical slavery and salvation. Hear us draw parallels between the Babylonian Hammurabi code and other nation's slavery systems. Get engrossed as we shed light on the New Testament's teachings on slaves and masters, and how the Apostle Paul's letter to Philemon encourages a shift in perspective towards slaves, not as property, but as beloved brethren. Whether you're a believer or skeptic, this episode promises to enlighten and provoke thought on the complex topic of slavery in the Bible.
