It’s Crazy Bible Verse Tuesday and today’s verse comes from the book of Ephesians and makes it clear that slavery is supported in the Bible.
“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.” – Ephesians 6:5
Not only are there slaves, but these slaves must obey their masters with respect and fear. WTF?!?!? This is one of many verses on slaves in the Bible and these verses make it clear that the supposedly all-perfect God supports and wants you to have slaves. What does this say about the god of the Bible? Is God worthy of your worship if he demands some people be slaves? Nope.
And to the apologists out there who will reply back with “but we are all slaves to our jobs,” just shut up. You know that’s not what this means. This is clearly the enslavement of one human to do the will of another, no questions asked.
